How long have you held onto your skinny clothes?

tppchef

Just wondering if you have as much fun digging into those old boxes. Please share how long your oldest item is!

I have some from almost 4 years ago, most I thought I'd thrown out. They were in a bag, and I will wear them again! Soon!

oregonzoo

i have items from 10 years ago.
I threw out a TON of cute clothes in a fit of post pregnancy madness and wish I never had.


When you are 200 you never expect to see 120 again

I kept one pair of jeans from before my son was born back in 2003. A pair of button fly American Eagles... they were the first ever size 14 non stretch jeans that I was able to wear EVER. I cried the day that I got back into them, and actually shed a bit of a tear when I tried them on last week and they were getting a bit too loose!!!

I have just one skirt from 8 years ago... It was the skirt I wore on my first date with my husband... I really would like to get back into it.

Well....I eloped and wasted a $2400 wedding dress. Wore a pair of jeans and tee shirt I had from 1995.

In Jan of 2011 I could get them UP all the way and almost buttoned. Now I can't get them past my calves.

In a year from a size 3-4 to a 16-18.... if I can get into some 17 yr old jeans..I'm tearing up already :')

That's the only thing I think I've kept. I'll never get rid of them.

I kept all my jeans from college. So, 10 years. They are all too big now. Which sort of bums me out since I held onto them for so long.

I bought a dress 4 or 5 years ago to wear to an ex-boyfriend's friend's wedding. The dress was 2 sizes too small, but I was losing weight so I thought it would look good for the summer. Broke up with the guy, wedding never happened, and I stopped losing weight. Fast forward to Wednesday of this week when I was looking in the back of my closet for something to wear to work (since nothing really fits anymore) and I found this gorgeous blue dress. I tried it on, it looked great, so I finally cut the tags off (while still wearing the dress lol). Got lots of compliments

I love to "shop" in my attic and now that I can fit into so much more, it is even more fun!

I had a blast trying them on then putting them straight into the Goodwill bag. Unfortunately for me they were mostly work clothes from what I like to call a "previous life" I was fortunate enough to stop at that size again only momentarily!!!

I have a pair of jeans from 20yrs ago that I want to wear proudly again one day though!!!

I have jeans form about 10yrs ago. They are my get too goal. I also have other nice jeans/pants and tops in every size since.
Once I'm out of bigger clothing they go to salvation army.....but I just can't part with skinny (er) clothes.
They are a reminder that i can do it.

I just got rid of skinny clothes from 5 years ago. Not way old but I didn't put on my weight until my second child. I just got rid of them because I assume they are outdated and not really me anymore. lol

cobracars

I've got some from the 1980's

TaintedVampyre

My mum is holding on to one of the first pair of jeans I had from high school. But I was fat then... so this response is a reverse to the actual question lol

The oldest and smallest outfit is from 1996. I'm going to fit back into it one day, even if I end up looking like Doug Heffernan in his out-of-style acid-wash jeans.

WandaVonDunajew

Highschool :blushing: And I WILL fit into those pants again, so help me God!!!

ChitownFoodie

I own nothing old. Every season I donate my clothes to 3rd world countries. I've done it since I was 16, I am 29 now.

KaciWood19

my favorite pair of jeans from high school! about 5 years ago was the last time I wore them!

ItsMeRebekah

i still have some from middle school hahaha i fit into them after my first kid so i still have it after the second and can't wait to put them on again.. some things i have kept just to have as "goal" clothes, but may never actually wear it again, and will give it away once i can fit into it.

I don't have any skinny clothes. I had been right around the 305 weight for well over a decade now. In High school and college, I was running 275, so the clothes I still had I still fit in. So as I continue dropping weight, I will have to buy a all new wardrobe. I've already had to chunk a bunch of stuff, but I can still wear some of my old "tight" clothes. Right now, i'm beginning to look like I am starting to swim in my clothes. I think the Mrs. will probably make me go out and buy some new stuff within the next week or so.

I had some pants and jeans given to me by a friend that were too small but so cute that I thought I'd hang onto them. I know people say not to hang onto clothes that are too small because it's discouraging, but I hid them away in my closet and I'm glad I did, because I needed them and now they're too big and I was able to pass them along to another friend!

Jellyphant

Since highschool [4 years ago], some even from middle school.

shamr0ck

My oldest item that i can date is a fancy dress from 1991. And it finally fits again!

Pollywog39

It was so exciting to fit into a pair of shorts that I bought two years ago, that NEVER fit before................not even when I first bought them.

I still have a couple of things I'm waiting to get in to....................and I'm wearing a cute, funky little blouse today that I know I bought at LEAST 30 years ago! Not kidding..........might even be closer to 40 years, cuz I know I had this thing in the 70's, and I remember where I bought it. The store's been closed since the 80's

supplemama

I don't think I even have any skinny clothes LOL. It would be funny if I had any from high school, they would be SO out of style! I graduated high school in 1989 :laugh:

Crisitunity

I have clothes from when I first started dating my husband 9 years ago, when I was 17. Mostly just pants. They made tops really short back then and I have a long torso so none of them looked good on me.

All of my weight gain is from the last year and a half so it's not too crazy that I've held on to them this long.

zombiefarmboy

I actually held onto my size 32s for over 2 years, I think. Cool thing is, I just started wearing them again a couple weeks ago. Freakin' schaweet!

lrichardson2360

I have a pair of shorts and a couple dresses from the early 90's. I know I'll never get into them again, but it's like a memento from my high school days. I hold them up and say, "Look how tiny I was..." It's not that I want to be that size again (I was anorexic), but more of a cautionary tale...

bassanne

I have a pair of jeans that I bought just before I found out I was pregnant with my son, HE IS 24 today, DAMN I will wear that pair of pants again. Seriously out of style, but I will wear them for aleast 1 day before I throw them in the scrape pile. My husband seems to think this is crazy that I have held on to this 1 pair of pants for that many years. I say, What!?!

msudaisy28

I have clothes going back to college, so 10+ years? As I've started going "shopping" in my boxes of old clothes again I've had to weed out items which are either out of style or simply not my style anymore. As a 30-something mom I don't feel comfortable in shirts that just meet the top of my pants anymore!

I did this too...just last year I purged a bunch of stuff I had been hanging on to, then I decided I would never be able to get back into it so I gave them away. I could wear some of it now...Damnit!
