Sadly, today, I put my oldest, loveliest pair of jeans in the recycle bin. I have had them for at least eleven years. They are now the palest blue, have holes in the knees, the bottoms are all ragged and frayed and the seams are threadbare.
I could have got away with wearing something like that forty, thirty or even ten years ago, but no longer. I am so sad. :-(
Have you got an item of clothing that you can't bear to part with?
I have an old school scarf ... actually a collection of holes held together with bits of blue and black wool.
It used to go biking with me, but is now rather frail and elderly, it is living in secluded retirement in a drawer ... until I can find a darning person ... :)
Yes, a pair of much loved and very expensive Levi jeans I bought waaaayyy back in the early 80s when I was still a size 10. The jeans are a size 10, my derriere ain't ! I keep hoping, that one day, one miraculous day, I may still be able to get them up past my knees! By then of course, they will be soooo old fashioned and out of date but I don't care. I just refuse to part with them. They are my "goal"...
Though I still have 2 pairs in the wardrobe, I think men over the age of 40 wearing blue jeans should be shot on sight, and that most definitely includes Jeremy Clarkson.
