Waxing Nostalgic through the Closet

Tonight I decided it was time to go through my clothes and make some room in my dresser and closet. It's time to update the wardrobe.

I hate getting rid of clothes so I have a lot of old ones around that I never or rarely wear anymore, but always think maybe one day I'll wear them or they remind me of days in the past.

I have a pink halter top that's knitted with crocheted flowers along the top that I got at least 7 years ago. The sides are starting to come apart so it is definitely beyond its time, but I hate throwing it out. It was what I considered to be one of my coolest shirts to show off my, at the time, new tattoo.

Then I think of all the other clothes that have gotten tossed and sometimes wish I still had them even though they most likely are past their style expiration date and/or wouldn't fit correctly anymore. I had an awesome pair of red pleather pants (I'm slightly allergic to real leather) that I wore to my first Dandy Warhols concert and about froze my ass off waiting in line. I also had a pair of thin velvet-type paisley pants and a gauzy floral skirt with a lace hem.

My mom even has a couple of outfits from when she was dating my dad that she won't throw out because she enjoys looking at them and thinking about her 'good ole days'.

I know my mom and I can't be the only weirdos that have emotional connections to clothing. Are there any clothes that you are keeping or wish you still had from the past?
