Are Citiknits Outfits Outdated?

Sister Golden Hair — Wed, 25 Jun 2014 20:30:47 GMT

I have had two 4-piece outfits for years. I wore them when I worked at a bank but now I look at them and they seem really outdated. I know I may have already decided what I should do with them.

What do you think? Thanks

Interesting that you would bring that up. I was just looking at mine a few days ago, & I bought them several years ago. They do indeed look a bit tired & "old lady-ish" & I'm an old lady myself (66), so I think I'll be donating them to charity.

Can you mix any of the pieces up with new accessories or tanks?

I don't worry about that. If I like, I'll wear it.

You might get more dates wearing Linea.

VCamp, thank-you for sharing. In the day, I really thought they looked nice but now, even though I'm 62, not so much. I will say that the citiknits really held up well. Great material.

lolakimono, that is a good idea. The jackets are lightweight, so I may try them on with something else.

I used to rock the slinky material years ago when I worked. Kathy Lee Grifford Walmart slinky stuff. I think when worn the right way, they still have staying power. I think slinky head to toe is too much....if you have a skirt, try pairing it with a cotton button-down.....mix the materials. Also the look of blazers & jackets is too...'slinky'. Separate the outfits...they might have a different look.

I have a couple of pant sets that still look really good. (Pants and a tunic type top). With the right jewelry, they look really nice. Their style isn't dated, but the fabric might seem so. However, it's the same as Slinky and they are still selling on the other channel.

Actually, I saw a woman (50ish) trying on a maxi burgundy citiknit dress on at Goodwill and put a long scarf with it and she had a pair of wedge shoes and the whole outfit looked very upscale.

Old lady?!! Hey, watch it! I'm 66 too, and I'm not accepting any "old lady" designation!

Maybe that is what I'm thinking that the material looks dated not the outfit.

I do have a couple of the citiknit dresses that I have worn with a different type jacket.

I think the head to toe is what I'm wondering about.

Thanks so much for your posts. I like getting different views about fashion.

I have only a piece or two of Citiknits, but I have a couple of other things made from similar fabric. It does seem a little dated now, for some reason. I just donated a Vicki Vi top and jacket in this type of fabric to Goodwill, just because the fabric seemed a little oldish and out of style. Something about the synthetic sheen, maybe.

Those are nice outfits.

SGH,

Why not remix an outfit, try it on, and post a picture?

I have tunnel vision when it comes to putting different things together.

I guess I need to get out of my box.

I'm going downstairs to play with my clothes.

Thanks for all your help.

This is sad, but I don't know how to post a picture.

My computer is old and so am I
