I have clothes like that too. I guess I get worried I will miss them, but then since the mid 80s there would only be a handful of items that I really have missed, so it’s a fear rather than reality I think. And even if that black knit dress with bright fishes on from 1986 were to magically turn up again, who is to say I would wear it in reality now?<br /> Congratulations on letting it go xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/widw-obg1#post-2151899 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 18:37:19 +0000 Angie 2151899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*applause*</p> <p>Onward to the next happy home... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/widw-obg1#post-2151871 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 18:13:02 +0000 Suz 2151871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess this is a side benefit of this challenge...if it doesn't work, we let it go for good!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/widw-obg1#post-2151819 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 17:27:55 +0000 Carla 2151819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You tried.... &nbsp;:-D</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/widw-obg1#post-2151816 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 17:26:05 +0000 celia 2151816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are items like these that linger in our closets, and vests seem to fall in this category more than others. I do have an older vest from Monsoon that probably dates to 1997, that I wore maybe once in the last 12 years but is still in my closet and every winter I contemplate wearing it again. I came to terms with it and decided that I am willing to keep it even if I don't wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/widw-obg1#post-2151675 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 11:51:59 +0000 kkards 2151675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And this!<br />May not have been able to complete the task, but you clearly learned the lesson.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/widw-obg1#post-2151662 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 09:36:36 +0000 Minaminu 2151662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very wise! It's a lovely piece and I am sure it will be loved and cherished by someone else, it would be a shame to leave it unused in the wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/widw-obg1#post-2151660 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 09:30:04 +0000 Lynne 2151660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this, I think clarity is a great outcome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/widw-obg1#post-2151628 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 07:01:34 +0000 Sal 2151628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know that feeling and it is a great piece that someone will enjoy.

Maybe you just have to be a 'vest person'? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/widw-obg1#post-2151604 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 04:36:28 +0000 kellygirl 2151604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha! I’ve felt that way many a time. I just had a similar experience with an old pair of jeans that are finally getting the heave ho as of this morning! It’s liberating, no?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/widw-obg1#post-2151598 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 04:01:58 +0000 Brooklyn 2151598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you tried. It’s good that the challenge is prompting a wardrobe edit. It’s easy just to let these things slide. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/widw-obg1#post-2151553 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 01:52:50 +0000 Anonymous 2151553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You gave it a good shot, so do not mourn passing the vest on. Vests are hard to get much wear out of. They seem memorable, whether they are or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/widw-obg1#post-2151550 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 01:39:37 +0000 nemosmom 2151550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...or, What I "didn't" wear. I have this old Kenji sweater vest that I bought from Anthropologie sometime before 2013. I have not worn it in at least 3 years... It used to have belt loops and a braided belt, but on my long torso the belt fell just below my bra strap, so I cut it off long ago... Every fall I unpack it from the 'winter' box, and every spring I pack it away (unworn) again.  </p> <p><div>Today, I had planned to pair it with a chocolate turtleneck, hi-rise straight leg jeans and my Thursday boots. But, when I put it on it was Just. Not. Right.  Today, I tried a regular belt (well, 3 belts) over it, but the belt(s) kept shifting around. I tried it open over a tee; the look was only so-so, and too cold for today's weather. I tried it over corduroy joggers, thinking a lower rise might help, but no matter what I tried, I just could not get it to work.</div><div><br /> </div><div>No matter how soft and fluffy it is, and no matter how much I loved it when I bought it, it was good to actually *realize* that it does not serve me anymore. I happily put my vest in the donate bag, without hesitation.</div><div><br /> </div><div>-1 skeleton Thanks, Carla!<br /> </div> </p>
