I have none. My wedding dress is gone. My funeral outfits for my parents are gone. Anything that has to live in a box is gone. I have too many clothes but most are to avoid bottlenecks with outfits in the laundry or dry cleaners. I am in the process of ridding myself of clothes that don’t fit and some extra summer things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--coffee-meet-up---something-sentimental#post-2359171 Wed, 01 May 2024 11:35:58 +0000 Dee 2359171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Joy</b>, <b>Mirjana</b> Thanks so much, I appreciate your kind feedback<br /><b>Sisi</b> Thank you and &nbsp;I agree that it can still be hard to part with an item even if you can’t quite fit into it anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--coffee-meet-up---something-sentimental#post-2359160 Wed, 01 May 2024 09:00:18 +0000 Mirjana 2359160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can only say WOW!

I like how the column of blue is enlightened by the white in the shirt and in the shoe soles and by the burgundy of the bag. I still have many sentimental pieces I can't part with, but alas! I cannot fit in them anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--coffee-meet-up---something-sentimental#post-2359156 Wed, 01 May 2024 05:11:27 +0000 Anonymous 2359156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--coffee-meet-up---something-sentimental#post-2358952 Fri, 26 Apr 2024 11:04:26 +0000 Dee 2358952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>JAileen</b>-Thanks, blue is my favourite colour to wear.<br /><b>Slim</b> <b>cat</b>- I l find this bag is a very practical size too.<br /><b>Bluejay</b>- Sounds like your cashmere sweater was a great find, glad you still cherish it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--coffee-meet-up---something-sentimental#post-2358933 Thu, 25 Apr 2024 21:02:09 +0000 BlueJay 2358933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all your blues!

Glad the blazer served you so well.<br /><b>Jaime</b>- I get it, that excitement of finding something so unique and special does make it hard to let go.<br /><b>Star</b>- I definitely enjoy this handbag’s punch of red with my outfits.

I can be weirdly sentimental about amazing thrift finds - if I can remember when I found it and how excited I felt, it is harder for me to let go . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--coffee-meet-up---something-sentimental#post-2358854 Wed, 24 Apr 2024 22:41:00 +0000 Suz 2358854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! You look great in the wide legs, and I love all components of the outfit, and love their senimental associations also. Plus, Canadian Tuxedo for the win!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm not an extremely sentimental person about clothing, but there are some items I struggle to let go of, due to their associations. I just let go of one of those pieces -- a beautiful Reiss tuxedo blazer -- that I bought on a YLF meetup in 2014! I wore it with great joy (and frequency) for years, but it was well past its prime and I wasn't wearing it any more.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--coffee-meet-up---something-sentimental#post-2358853 Wed, 24 Apr 2024 22:15:55 +0000 Sal 2358853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit Dee - what a great combination.</p> <p>I have a sentimental collection, mostly older occasion wear.

I have important dresses dating back to 1984 sitting in a storage area. I still wear a jumper (a sweater to you) that I bought second year of working, in 1986. And I wore the Thai silk blouse which I bought in Singapore in 1988 last year to the wedding I travelled to Canada for.<br /> You look great in your denim jacket and new jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--coffee-meet-up---something-sentimental#post-2358846 Wed, 24 Apr 2024 20:36:20 +0000 Carla 2358846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the silouhette! &nbsp;Also, your hair looks great!</p> <p>I’m not a particularly sentimental person, but in 2002 I bought a Greek fisherman’s &nbsp;cap that I wear off and on. &nbsp;It’s the oldest thing in my closet. &nbsp;</p> <p><div><br /><div>The hat style was ‘signiture’ for my father. &nbsp;I have no idea why (he was German) but I always remember him wearing one when off duty from work. &nbsp;I was sent the photo below ‘cause the baby is me. &nbsp;I guess his affection for the style went way back!<br /></div><div><div><br /></div><div>Dad died near the end of ‘21 at 86</p> <p>On a happier note, I’m actually kind of sentimental about 2 items that have YLF backstories - an 11 yo LePliage I bought after getting Forum feedback with an attached fun shopping experience thanks to a store reco made by <b>Gaylene</b>, and a gorgeous silk (Hermes) scarf with a story sent to me by&nbsp;<b>nemosmom. &nbsp;</b></p> <p></div></div></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--coffee-meet-up---something-sentimental#post-2358845 Wed, 24 Apr 2024 20:15:32 +0000 RobinF 2358845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those jeans look great on you! Love the jacket too.

A pair of camel suede and leather bowling shoe style oxfords I bought in Germany in 2003. I don’t wear them anymore but should try them on. I gave up when one was lost. Seriously thought about ditching the remaining one but after 4-5 years, I found the other one in a bin of off season items! I was so happy to find it!&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>You look very nice. Great jeans and wonderful jacket.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--coffee-meet-up---something-sentimental#post-2358843 Wed, 24 Apr 2024 18:46:30 +0000 Dee 2358843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had a chance to reconnect over coffee with an old colleague from my work days. Decided it was time to cut the tags and wear my new denim wide-leg jeans. I coupled it with a blue ditsy print button-down and a cherished denim blazer-ish style jacket my mother bought me over 25 years ago. Comfy black slip-ons and a cranberry red handbag to finish. </p> <p><i>Happy that this sentimental jacket still seems to have a place in my wardrobe. </i></p> </p> <p><i><b>Do you have any sentimental pieces that you just can't part with?</b></i> </p>
