Do you ever have negative associations with clothes you LIKE?

I thought of this today. I'm wearing a brightly colored floral cotton cardigan that I purchased from Anthropologie last year. I wore it last summer and got numerous compliments. Today is the first time I've worn it this season.

I can't help but think of when I bought this cardigan. It was within a month after my mom passed away, and I was wandering the mall and just wanted to buy SOMETHING -- ANYTHING -- to make myself feel less sad. So I bought this cardigan.

But every time I've worn it I can't help but think of the circumstances when I bought it, even though it's a cute cardigan and very summery.

Does this ever happen to you? If so, do you continue to wear the item?
