You kan join and post your oldies in a couple of months when you get home. I look forward to you posts, oldies are fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge/page/2#post-1910244 Wed, 18 Apr 2018 18:23:00 +0000 Lesley 1910244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now I find the source of all these fun posts! I wish I could play along—I'm temporarily living abroad but I know I have some old stuff back home. It would be a good opportunity to pull them out and try them on and even see if they still fit! Maybe if I remember I will join in a few months! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge/page/2#post-1907916 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 19:17:13 +0000 MsMaven 1907916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a fun thread! In the last couple of years my body shape has changed thanks to getting older, and this includes my feet, so I haven't kept a lot of vintage things. I went through and cleared out a lot of older but good clothes about 3 years ago. I still have my two Chanel bags and some jewelry--I just had some rings sized up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge/page/2#post-1907909 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 19:10:58 +0000 Katerina 1907909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, these coats are such beautiful classics! Impossible to see how old they are, could be in shops right now IMO! Thank you for your support!</p> <p>Yay Bernard! So fun you are joining in! Look forward to your vintage outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge/page/2#post-1907748 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 14:52:32 +0000 Anonymous 1907748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will gladly try because I have a lot of old clothes I am very vintage and it is impossible for me to let my coats are over twenty years for example. I would be happy to participate and follow. Friendship Bernard </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge/page/2#post-1907741 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 14:44:09 +0000 Angie 1907741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY,<b> Katerina</b>. Fun challenge. Looking forward to seeing your renditions while I cheer from the sidelines.&nbsp;</p> <p>Please start a new thread with every outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wear these toppers ALL THE TIME - both 8 years old.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge/page/2#post-1907711 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 13:35:06 +0000 Katerina 1907711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW, ladies! So happy that you like the idea and so many will make some "oldies but goodies" outfits! I am so looking forward to your posts.</p> <p>Oh,&nbsp;<b>Jenni NZ</b>, what a lovely dress and great boots! A perfect outfit for work and dinner afterwards. Hope you have a great time with friends!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge/page/2#post-1907699 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 12:40:00 +0000 Colette 1907699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a great idea! While I have plenty of items that fit the criteria, most of them are work wear and dressy dresses, they don’t fit my current lifestyle. So I’ll cheer everyone on from the sidelines. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge/page/2#post-1907687 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 12:10:13 +0000 The Cat 1907687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, you look really great in this ensemble! The dress certainly deserves to be worn more than once a year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge/page/2#post-1907672 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 11:38:20 +0000 Jenni NZ 1907672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was up for the challenge today as I had been meaning to re-wear this "zebra dress" ( DH's name for it) from 2010. It might have only been worn once a year. I teamed it with my fave tall black "button up" boots from 2011. They were my most expensive boots ever, but are hitting towards 60 wears. Wore all day at work then out to small Italian restaurant with friends. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge#post-1907664 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 11:10:22 +0000 Staysfit 1907664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m deciding whether to play. I certainly have oldies in my closet. Some of them are items I wouldn’t wear to work. For example, I have my brothers college logo sweatshirt, from when he was in college. It’s his, and I took it from him on a visit when I was in my early 20’s. It still fits, and I still wear it on weekends sometimes. I love it, but it’s not for posting. It’s not all that interesting. Likewise, I have DH’s College Crew team jacket, which doesn’t fit him anymore, and is certainly large on me, but I still like it for weekend hikes, etc. In fact most of my oldest items are gear like, or weekend lounge like. My weekday work wear oldies aren’t that old with the exception of one dress. The other old items in my wardrobe are coats, sweaters and boots. Maybe I will post some of those........I should probably purge some. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge#post-1907661 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 11:00:20 +0000 The Cat 1907661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea, Katerina. I look forward to seeing yours and others' old goodies. As for myself, I own several items that are more than five years old, and remixing them with newer items is an almost daily habit. (Actually, I recently purged a winter dress which had brought me compliments since 1994 but now started to look a little tired.) Am busy this weekend (spring cleaning my home), but might post a photo or two in some days ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge#post-1907653 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 10:44:13 +0000 Kathie 1907653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This will be fun! I changed careers in mid-2011, so I’m curious to see what I might still have from before the transition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge#post-1907650 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 10:39:51 +0000 LaPed 1907650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this concept! A fair portion of my wardrobe is 5-6 years old, plus a few pieces much older than that. I'll follow along for sure and maybe even get a chance to post a couple outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge#post-1907637 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 09:48:43 +0000 kkards 1907637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i'm in----for me it will be clothings and shoes! great challenge </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge#post-1907635 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 09:34:10 +0000 Michell 1907635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I try this, especially as I'm trying to shop my wardrobe now! <br />I also include my old accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge#post-1907622 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 08:12:36 +0000 Sisi 1907622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, funny! I have a lot of old beautiful clothes. I sometimes joke saying that I have a lot of "archeological pieces" in my wardrobe.Too bad I do not slip into them anymore ....&nbsp;I will follow this challenge with interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge#post-1907611 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 07:03:41 +0000 Cardiff girl 1907611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun idea!I m looking forward to seeing all these vintage clothes . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge#post-1907602 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 05:25:08 +0000 Katerina 1907602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am looking forward to your challenge posts! </p> <p>StyleFan, that is a great jacket! Love!</p> <p>Bijou, your poncho must be the prettiest poncho I have seen! Looks gorgeous on you!</p> <p>Sal, great shirt. Love the pattern and colour and it fits so well. No wonder you wanted to keep it.</p> <p>Morning here, and I have an idea which oldie it will be today for work, will see if it works. Will be back later! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge#post-1907597 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 04:48:44 +0000 Sal 1907597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I like your jacket Katerina, your jacket Stylefan and your wrap Bijou!!&nbsp; I am wearing a shirt today that was my Father in Laws, dating from 1974.&nbsp; It was from the 1974 Commonwealth Games held in Christchurch where he was very involved as Director of Athletics.&nbsp; He passed away some time ago and my Mother in Law about 16 months ago so we ended up with it.&nbsp; Jon did not want it (not into hoarding nostal) but I insisted and am giving it the first outing today.</p> <p>Also adding a pic I found of another outfit from the games here - I wish I had this outfit!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge#post-1907591 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 04:00:00 +0000 Jaime 1907591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh interesting! So many of my items are oldies but new to me, that the line gets blurred. I will be watching. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge#post-1907579 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 03:25:00 +0000 Anonymous 1907579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will join starting tomorrow. I need to decide whether some of the older pieces should stay or go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge#post-1907576 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 03:12:23 +0000 Bijou 1907576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Day 1 outfit: A 6 year old knit poncho, not so sure that this qualifies as a "goodie" but it is old. It skews a bit too boho for my normal style. To make it more polished, worn with black skinnies, patent boots, black woven top and black sunglasses and lilac bag. I do like the colours of this knit so will probably keep it as it is good for days when there is a bit of a chill in the air but not cold enough for a jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge#post-1907558 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 01:58:16 +0000 Bonnie 1907558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I checked my closet and I only have three items older than four years. I do have some older items in the guest closet that I haven't worn in a while and will check them out to see if there is a reason (besides sentimental) that I am keeping them. This is a great theme for a Challenge but it's hot here and my older items are for colder weather.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge#post-1907554 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 01:37:12 +0000 rachylou 1907554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ll be following with interest too. My unworn older items all fall into the dressier category, which is a big ball of worms... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge#post-1907549 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 00:56:37 +0000 cindysmith 1907549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd be interested if I had more than one or two garments that met the criteria. Between weight gain and lifestyle, I have a pair of trousers that have been with me since 2010 or so, and one purple paisley shirt that I've had since 2009. The shirt is too small but I can't bring myself to get rid of it because the print makes me so happy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge#post-1907540 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 00:12:29 +0000 Bijou 1907540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes - I'm in! I will use a 4 year threshold, but I do have items that are definitely older than that.</p> <p>This is a beautiful outfit Katerina, I love how pretty your jacket is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge#post-1907529 Thu, 12 Apr 2018 22:58:45 +0000 ChrisM 1907529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, that I could still wear some things from a few seasons ago.....</p> <p>I am, however, the consummate culler of my wardrobe. There are very few things that I have that a) still fit and b) are much older than a year or two.</p> <p>Cheering from the sidelines too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/join-me-in-oldies-but-goodies-challenge#post-1907527 Thu, 12 Apr 2018 22:40:12 +0000 JAileen 1907527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, I think I have some very old things. If I include accessories, I know I still have a scarf I bought in 1971. I’ll give it a try. </p>
