| A gingham checked button down shirt from the Gap that I bought in 1988. The gap used to have amazing quality! |

| I have a jacket I wear regularly from Lands End I bought in 1996. I like it so much that about 15 years ago I found the same exact one on eBay and bought it so I have a back up. I also have a few band T-shirts from the late 80s I still wear sometimes. Finally I have my Guess acid wash denim jacket circa 1988 that I begged my mom to buy for me, which she did, though she told me "Don't tell your father how much this cost." I don't really wear it but it's fun to still see in my closet. |

I have my Bean boots that I purchased in 1988 and an LLBean pullover fleece from 1994. The fleece still looks great. I have two skirts from Laura Ashley from the late 80s – a kilt and a corduroy skirt, I'm holding on in case I get a tapeworm and can ever fit into them again. |

Kind of funny story about this - I have a Tahari dress I bought almost 15 years ago for my daughter's baptism.
I wore it to an event last week and a woman I met there told me she has the same dress! |

| A Leifsdottir dress I got when they first came out around 2008, I think. |

I’m not that poster but when I was younger I sometimes wore the slip my great aunt wore to my grandmothers wedding in the 1920s (under a dress obviously) as just a slip dress. It was a gorgeous gold silk edged in lace. Their underwear was nicer than our actually stuff. She was a redhead so wanted a deep gold yellow for the dress. I also have a nice suit that was hers from the 1940s that I used to sometimes wear. It’s very Rosalind Russell. She worked in the textile industry so had some nice stuff as she wouldn’t wear cheap textiles. I also have her Harris Tweed coat but I think that one might be from the 50s. I don’t really wear it because it’s so heavy but it’s incredibly well made. I do wear my mom’s wool trench coat from the late 1970s which feels very Faye Dunaway to me. The one thing I have that is really really old that I’ve never worn is some hand made lace collars from the late 19th century that are just incredible handiwork. Occasionally I see something on a star that is similar and I want to think about putting the collar on something but I think I just wouldn’t have anyplace to wear something like that. I should give them to my stylish funky nieces. |

Sadly my 1992 bean boots have now worn out —there’s no tread on the bottom and the store said they can’t retread them. Over 30 years was a good run I guess. The leather part is still so nice—I wish they’d recycle that! |
