Following yesterday's thread on clothes.............

I still like to be current so have bought several midi dresses ,not the prairie ones though.I pass clothes to my sister and her late 40's daughters .Things they dont think suit they pass to their friends. Sometimes they phone to see if I have things they need for events . I dont have anything older than maybe 4 years in my wardrobes I do have older boots though .
Waiting for some new winter stuff to arrive today A dress with long sleeves and new ankle boots among them

Gosh, nothing older than 4 years! Today I’m wearing a jumper which is well over 10 years old and I have plenty of things of similar or older vintage. My long black coat is probably over 15 years old. I buy classic things, best quality I can, so they last and the cost per wear is very low. I haven’t bought fast fashion since I was a teenager.

I have realised that some of my clothes are actually wearing out ! so I was pleased to be able to order some cotton jumpers and trousers from Lands End and cotton traders in their sales . I can’t wear wool and hate acrylic so layers of cotton garments are ideal . Now I have to pluck the courage to actually throw out my frayed trousers and tops instead of keeping them for decorating and gardening as I usually do ! Maybe the polish and floor cloths bag is the place ..

I dont buy fast fashion either,I just like change ,

I was going through my wardrobe today stopped for a coffee and found this stream again. I am in a quandary. I have got into a wardrobe seldom used and found clothes that are a size smaller than I wear. I know I am going to be told I need to lose weight.
The question is, do I hang onto the clothes that are too small and wear them next year? They don't inspire me to lose weight quite a lot is Jaegar before it went to M&S? Also do I hang on to my current summer clothes in case I have not lost that weight by next summer?
I don't like fast fashion either. So if I throw there will have to be a big spend if and when the weight is lost. DH says get rid and get new it will be an incentive.
Any suggestions gladly received I could do with Marie Kondo, then I would be walking around in Bra and pants, not a pretty sight.

I repurpose clothes and put different combinations together, but then I have two 'capsule wardrobes' so don't buy new unless things have worn out.

Whenever a charity bag comes through the door requesting old clothes - I'm still wearing them.

I'm still on the wagon and rapidly coming up to three years since I've bought myself a single item. Didn't think I could do it but.....there y'go. I've many ancient quality items that I still love to wear.
