Down the memory lane

 

I'm not gonna lie to you but I like this outfit! It's styled after the inspiration I got frm visiting a well known retail brand. I noticed soft sweaters in earth tones together with browns and greens and denim displayed at one corner of the shop. The combination felt familiar and when I got home I took out this lovely sweater made by my mum in the middle of the 80s. (Talking about original stuff here). Actually , I haven't worn this sweater for (let me count)25 years!!! I was 18 years old when I last wore it ...what more to say. My mum kept it in good condition for all these years perhaps in hope that I 'll wear it again.
What I wear underneath  is my trusted olive green cardigan . After that, it wasn't very difficult to add the brown belt and the scarf which are very  very similar to those in the display


Now , confess ...are there clothes that stayed in your closet for decades and then you decided it was time to wear again? How did it feel?

I'll show you some detail now to check for yourself how the scarf ties together the outfit. I have no doubt that you can get away with the same outfit for a week and no one will notice if you wear a different scarf each day!

    It's a beautiful sweater...and I love how you have styled it. Tell me, what is on the shoulder of the sweater?

    I don't have any items I've saved for quite so long.

    This outfit reminds me of autumn, a beautiful season. Love how you used lots of different textures and colors, but that it looks totally pulled together.

    I just meant that the blogs I read keep rewearing the things in their closet and then the trend lives a lot longer because of that.

    You're completely right about the scarf! No, I don't have any of my clothes that I haven't been wearing for a long long time. You're lucky you can fit in something you wore 25 years ago!

    I love this - it's not a color combination I would ordinarily be drawn too, but it really is soft and gorgeous. And the scarf is fabulous too!
