Have you ever felt a twinge in your heart because of a clothing item? I tend to be a bit sentimental, so maybe that explains, but clothes for me are so intertwined with the way I feel, with memories, desires...
I was leafing through a Sundance winter catalog and saw this cardigan. For some reason it unchained memories of my childhood, of the places where I would spend vacation, of the clothes my mom wore. Maybe it does have a retro vibe, but lots of other items do too and yet don't trigger the same reaction.
(And I do love the sweater--when I think of items that make my heart beat faster, like this, they're usually quirky, and not at all practical, or trendy, or even well-matched with the rest of my wardrobe...)
Do others here have similar experiences? It made me think of Proust's novel In Search of Lost Time, when biting into the madeleine brings up a torrent of the past...
