All my old stuff got donated or went to consignment when I lost weight. I'm glad they don't fit! lol... I have replaced my wardrobe a few times in the last few years because of that.

But the oldest thing I have now that fits? It might be a G by Giuliana blouse. I got it in November, 2013. It is not too big for me yet but it was way too small when I got it.

I have a beautiful gold threaded mantilla that I inherited but was purchased in Spain when I went on a trip there as a teenager with my family.

I have a white with red stripes Adidas sport jacket from the mid-1970s. It has my letter patches from high school sewn on, along with a multitude of skating pins. It just sits in the closet. I really need to make up some kind shadow box to show off the pins.

I have a few select items - blouses and dresses - from the "new romantics" period of the 80s. All were worn to special events and just can't part with them. Can't fit into any of them anymore either!

I have an autumnal looking sweatshirt from 1993. It's dark green with a wine colored trim on the collar. The scene is a fox in the woods. I call it Thanksgiving shirt. I wear it every Thanksgiving lol.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

i have several pairs of jeans that are at least 15 years old and they are in excellent condition, and i can still get into them (thank God!) and i still do wear them! the same with shorts. little did I know that they would be really good buys all those years ago

you?

oldest item in my closet is my wedding dress from 1984 and yes I can fit into it but that hasn't been the case until just recently after losing 120 lbs. and going from a size 2X to a Medium

Royal blue and navy Halston partial wrap dress from about 1981. It has an inset waistband and long tapered skirt. If you watched the most recent episode of Deutschland 83, you will see that dark haired East German government worker wearing a tan dress that is nearly identical.
