Sometimes I go through phases where I need to purge. I get a huge bag and stuff clothes, shoes and whatever else shows up in my path.
Usually I don't regret it, but occasionally, just sometimes, I'll regret getting rid of something.
And sometimes I'll be so glad I kept something like a jean jacket.
I bought this jean jacket in high school. I wore it with my flared khaki pants (so hot) and a favorite tee. Sometimes I'd spice it up and layer a thin hoodie underneath. (anyone else do that?)
Even though years have passed and I haven't worn it in years... it survived high school graduation, college graduation, getting married and countless closet purges. And I'm so glad.
18-year-old me was real cute, huh?
Do you still have stuff from years ago hiding in your closet? Do you still wear it?

p.s. I love love love my knitted infinity scarf from The Soak Tree. I got it for Christmas and wear it at least twice a week. Knitting/crocheting is crafty thing I have never mastered.







yes I still wear things from many years ago! I love those green pants!
ReplyDeleteI love my jean jacket, it's as old as your but I bought it in college. Ha! I finally purged one shirt I owned since middle school this past month...I'd wear it under things, but finally parted with it, hope I don't regret it ;-/
ReplyDeleteI was wondering about your scarf...I just crochet'd my first one and have been loving it!
Such a cute outfit! I love the brightly colored pants, IDK if I could pull that off!
ReplyDeletecutee! love the pantss!!(:
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I've gone through 2 purges of my jean jackets and still haven't learned! I'm looking for another one ;) Cute pictures! I was watching episode 4 of Downton Abbey and realized that Livinia reminded me of you =) Thankfully your story doesn't have a sad ending though!
ReplyDeleteHow cute are you?!? I love the way you have been styling these pants!!! I am also a purger and I still have a few things left over from high school ((and some even from middle school!)). PS LOVE that scarf!!! :)
ReplyDeleteYep, I have a jean jacket that I've had for YEARS. It doesn't fit that great, currently, but I still throw it on with a scarf and make it work. :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I could fit into my stuff from high school... that's the dream, lol.
ReplyDeletei have a jean jacket from high school from the gap and i am so glad i never got rid of it. there are a few sweaters i have purged in the past and wish so bad i still had them
