It's disappointing when a beloved piece wears out, but I can't find an equivalent replacement piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-an-article-of-clothing-out#post-1309331 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 23:38:34 +0000 jackiec 1309331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great feeling!

I haven't worn out a pair of jeans since my kids were little. I'd really like to stop churning and wear the jeans I have until they are actually worn out. Thanks for the inspiration.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-an-article-of-clothing-out#post-1309080 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 19:23:34 +0000 viva 1309080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Living -- not just collecting." </p> <p>Love that!

I do wear a lot of my items out.</p> <p>About 7 years ago I got a tiered denim skirt for Christmas that I just fell in love with. I don't lie - I must have worn the skirt at least 300 times! It is still going (denim wears SO well) but has been downgraded to my work/painting clothing. I was happy to downgrade it though, as it is so comfy and I enjoy being able to wear it for work.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-an-article-of-clothing-out#post-1308956 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 16:19:30 +0000 Angie 1308956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah.

I keep a careful eye on my 7 or 8 year old David Kahn bootcuts that are now too big but chopped off into BF shorts and so nicely faded and worn -- I know that someday they're going to start coming apart at the seams, and I'm not looking forward to that, but it will be good to know I've worn an item out so thoroughly and gotten full use out of it, despite weight loss and a change in style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-an-article-of-clothing-out#post-1308064 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 15:42:52 +0000 lyn* 1308064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations What a good feeling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-an-article-of-clothing-out#post-1308057 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 15:35:48 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1308057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you. &nbsp;I would love to be able to only buy items that I love so much that I wear them out. &nbsp;Too bad I am so bad at predicting which ones they will be.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-an-article-of-clothing-out#post-1308054 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 15:33:52 +0000 Mo 1308054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know it may seem funny to some, but I totally get what you're saying. &nbsp;I only seem to wear out knit tops so far. &nbsp;I have some TR Billy's that are pretty low rise, but I'm keeping them anyway. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-an-article-of-clothing-out#post-1308053 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 15:31:49 +0000 Diana 1308053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite skinnies are just about ready to die too. They are vince, prob 5 yrs old, and I have some newer vince skinnies but they do not feel nearly so good. :(</p> <p>I'm glad to see someone else gets holes in their jeans by the rear pockets. This happens to me too and I've never understood why they wear out there. Too much sitting? It's a mystery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-an-article-of-clothing-out#post-1308052 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 15:31:16 +0000 kellygirl 1308052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's awesome! I wore out a pair of BF jeans this summer. They lasted a year so I definitely got my money's worth out of them. Unfortunately, besides these and some<br /> casual tees, I haven't worn out much. Most of the time I tire of the style before I wear anything out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-an-article-of-clothing-out#post-1308042 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 15:20:51 +0000 Suz 1308042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You bet!! Congratulations!</p> <p>I wore out a pair of jeans this year, too -- in only one year! They were J. Crew toothpicks and I guess I literally wore them to death. Like you, I don't need to replace them because I have lots of other jeans, but it was interesting to see.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-an-article-of-clothing-out#post-1308041 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 15:19:53 +0000 Joyce B 1308041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's great and what is even better is that you have been able to maintain your size. Yay for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-an-article-of-clothing-out#post-1308040 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 15:19:49 +0000 Melaine 1308040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I aspire to wear something out! it sounds funny, but it is obviously a sign that you are choosing and loving your clothes well which I typically don't do. When I have worn items out it has usually been a quality issue rather than getting worn tons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-an-article-of-clothing-out#post-1308033 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 15:14:53 +0000 annagybe 1308033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Over five years ago, after losing a significant amount of weight, I bought a pair of skinny, skinny jeans. They were low rise True Religions I bought from Nordstrom. I was so thrilled to fit into a 29. Recently they were regulated to commuting and call wear due to the low rise. Today I put them on and noticed a hole near the rear pocket.&nbsp;<br />I will not be replacing anytime soon, as I have plenty of other jeans. But it's nice to get my money's worth out of an item. </p>
