[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a ton of clothes that I bought in the 90s that I still wear and I also wear vintage stuff that was my mom's from the 70s.  But sadly in the last year or two middle age has hit me HARD and now I can't buy things fast enough to fit me.  I'm sad to see the PPs saying the returning clothes is not good for the environment -- most stores have so little in stock (other than leisure wear) --- I ordered 8 pairs of black dress pants from 2-3 different vendors in different sizes at Christmas and could only find one pair that fit.  The sizing was insane -- one pair of 8s from BR was too big, and another was too small.  I had zero way of predicting what size I would be in any brand so just kept ordering different sizes.  I would love to buy fewer clothes, better quality, but it's so hard to find anything.  One thing I love about WFH is that I can wear the same pair of stretchy Land's End starfish pants every day and no one knows.  I can even wear my sweater that has a big hole under the arm with it, and again no one knows.

That's great if your self-esteem can handle clothes with holes in them. [/quote]

Different poster here.

I have a lovely new cashmere sweater that unfortunately got moth holes.

I don't see anything wrong with keeping it for a chilly zoom day.

I hope you don't either.

I get holes in my sweaters ridiculously fast (last month I bought a cardigan that was 50 years old and in pristine condition, and it had two small holes within 48 hours of my first wearing it!), and I also can’t bring myself to get rid of anything that’s cashmere or good-quality wool. I’ve been excited to see the small trend recently of sweaters with multiple colors pieces together. I’m going to try cutting off the good parts of some cashmere sweaters and combining them into a single, hole-free colorblocked sweater.

I also tried making a lap-blanket sized quilt out of cashmere sweaters. It’s soft and pretty, but unfortunately I find it a little too thin to be truly cozy as a blanket. [/quote]
