Going down QVC Clothing Memory Lane

I am still oxox — Sun, 15 Jul 2018 17:17:22 GMT

I am loosing weight and took in 2 huge storage bins that have been in my garage since 2004/2005.

In addition to Dialogue, I have found many Denim and Company pieces, an original Citi knits Jacket and tank and a real oldie a Style on the go 3 piece set.

I have also found many pairs of Tablots pants and shorts.

I am tossing all of the beige and white bottoms, no longer my taste.

I am dividing the clothes to 3 piles.

Charity, Will Fit and Fits now

Does anyone remember Gabriella T sweaters? They had beautiful floral patterns? (At least I think that was the name!)

I had so many Indigo Moon pieces ... but donated the majority of them when I did my retirement purge.

I kept just two .... one jacket with stars and one coat.

A46471 Topper ... I had all three colors, but only kept the khaki that I wear in the fall. It looks great with black or dark gray pants and turtleneck.

A2086 red jacket with blue and white stars. I still wear this fairly often. I had the black and lime versions also, but only kept the red.

I think I still have some "obi belts" from Indigo Moon.

I still have a Gabriella T sweater. Could not part with it. Used to have a lot of Fashion Formula and the earlier Susan Graver outfits.

I've donated all of my Susan Graver items and I had a lot. Realized that all those tunic tops were unflattering on me. No petites so really everything I had was not a good fit. I no longer watch her shows or buy her items.

@I am still oxox

Love your 3 piles!

Be sure & don’t forget the “Will Fit” pile.

When I was losing, I had a pair of original Calvin Klein jeans

‘at one time they fit’ I wore back in college.

I was so looking forward to wearing them again

but they were packed away. Summer was shorts & skirts

and I forgot all about them. Fall & jeans came around, I remembered....

I have those cool jeans!....and they were too big! I lost ‘over’ them.

GAH!

It was a good frustration but...man, I really wanted to wear those

jeans again! Oh well. Someone at Goodwill is probably happy

with the donation.

Moral of the story: Keep your ‘will fit’ box close by 👍

I loved Fashion Formulas. Easy to wear, comfortable , well co ordinated . We were always campers so they fit well into my lifestyle.

@sidsmom

I have a few pairs of side zip ankle pants from Talbots that will look great when i loose 10 lbs more.

Some of the pants I would never wear, these days I prefer jeans or black pants over beige or white pants.

I am very pleased with what fits now and will be happier as I loose more weight

Yay!! Losing 10lb should be around the corner!

But......

An Urban Weight Loss Legend says,

”Every time someone says ‘loose’ instead of ‘lose’,

you automatically gain 10 pounds. #Fact.”

Nooooooo....! 🤣 JK You’ve got this!

I wore a Dialogue skirt to church today, still in great shape, this winter I wore several Koos skirts and toppers, always compliments when I wear his clothes. I miss the old days of nice clothing, that was not overiszed, high low, etc., etc......

I used to love watching Diane Von Furstenberg. That was a fantastic line. I also really liked the original previous fibers cashmere sweaters . They wore like iron and were thick and so soft. Also, Mary Mcfadden’s accessories and of course Louis Del olio’s silk and beautiful wool clothes now long gone.

@NJgirl 1205 @Mom2Dogs

I too remember those old lines fondly. But I also recall that these community boards were like death on all things fashion. Do you remember? I was new to QVC and really enjoyed the selection from Diane Von Furstenberg, Dialogue, Precious Fibers, Motto, Centigrade, For Joseph, and the old Du Jour. And there were many nice suede skirts and jackets. But back in those days, this forum was a very tough town!

I have only been posting for 8 years, not a long time, but a few years back things were certainly more interesting and there were a lot more posters on these boards. I miss some of the old posters, some had interesting jobs and lives that were interesting to read about, not so much any more.

I have been buying less and less clothing, prices are to high to gamble the fit. I was interested in a M. Stewart button down shirt, but xxs size was a 39" bust!! That is to big for me and I am a 10-12 size gal, and need no more than a 37-38" in the bust for a decent not sloppy fit. The sizing is so odd.

I found a R. Lauren shirt at the mall just what I wanted....size medium fit me perfectly.

@I am still oxox, congrats on your weight loss! I’m a serial joiner of Weight Watchers and on my third time reached Lifetime and have held it for 6 years (40 pounds). I’ve gone a bit astray but still under goal due to a move from Hawaii to Las Vegas (at least that is my excuse). Anyway, loved and still have a CitiKnits set of two dresses, that I LOVE. Also, four SG liquid knit tops with pyramid buttons down the back as well as a Quacker skirt in white that I wore today. I’m not finding a lot of interest in the “new” fashion here; I have a few items on clearance on my Wish List but not a lot of the styles “speak” to me. I’m also retired and don’t want/need a lot for my lifestyle. Thanks for posting!
