Do you have any clothes saved any where in your home,
because you feel that they might come back in style or they have sentimental value to you?
Well I do, mine are in the basement under the stairs.
I have about four large plastic bins full of clothes from the
mid 80"s to early 90's.
Yesterday while I was in Wallmart...I badly, did not, want to stop by the fashion magazines because I already bought the usual ones I collect for the month except "In Style" November issue, is not out yet. One magazine from a distance looked so good and glossy, with Lilly Allen on the cover. I just had to go over and take a look at it. It was the November UK issue for Elle price $11.00. Ok I'll get it, November Vogue and W are so small this month I feel I didn't get my fill of fashion this month, I need more.
So I guess this is ok, to compensate.
In the evening with my cup of coffee sitting on the couch, with my two dogs on either side I started to open my new glossy UK magazine. The feeling I get from going through a new issue of a fashion magazine always and still excites me, it is, to me, an escape away.
I have noticed and have been noticing that leather biker jackets are big again. Then I saw a leather vest that looked very similar to one I had in the 80"s. Then I started thinking OMG do I still have my old one under the stairs. I couldn't wait any longer, down stairs I went, with my dogs as they wondered, what I was doing, and why did I get up from the couch when it was so confortable. I started pulling out all the christimas decor and then finally I reached my plastic bins.
As soon as I opened one bin of clothes it was like opening a diary of all the memories. It is amazing how one piece of clothing can take me back to how I felt at that time. What music I was listening to, to who did I have a crush on, where I was working and what drink I would order when I went out. I suddenly started singing the Wham song, Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, but still no vest. I was praying please I hope I didn't throw it out. Finally the second last bin there it was under my faded 501 jeans with the exposed button fly...THE LEATHER VEST. I was so happy.
Now when and where I am I going to where this.
