Item of clothing you just cannot do without..

[katie1997]

I have got a navy blue, soft cotton, cap-sleeved, scoop-neck t-shirt that I picked up many years ago whilst working in Mumbai.

To this day, its still a favourite item of clothing and I'd hate to be without it. I had no idea when I bought it that I would end up liking it (and wearing it) so much.

Anything in your wardrobe that you've become ridiculously attached to? unexpectedly or not...

[????]

Fred Perry's....... that's all

[giggirl]

I am ridiculously attached to everything in my wardrobe Katie numbers. I'm surprised you felt the need to ask! Sheesh.

I won't ever be getting rid of anything again. From now on everything's for keeps. Here's why...

Clown shoes...

I wore my grandfather's fringed, white satin evening scarf when I went on a date with D**** L*****, as I thought it would make me look a little bit like Morten Harket. We went to Wimpy and to see Beverley Hills Cop. I did not get in to Beverley Hills Cop as it was a 15.

Karen called her dad to come and get her. She did not have change for the payphone so I gave her 10p. I remember when I handed the coin to her it was boiling hot from having been in the pocket of my flecked, polyester trousers. She looked at me with what I now understand to be sympathy, but which I mistook at the time for disgust. A fine line, I suppose.

I still have the scarf (but not the trousers).

A pair of tan boots. Must have had them resoled and healed half a dozen times. I can't part with them and they're falling apart and need mending again.

My black leather jacket. Looking really rather shagged out now, but will still keep wearing it ...

[Voyageur]

A couple of long sleeved, fine knit linen wrap cardies I bought from East quite some years ago. Have darned them a few times in an effort to keep them going but I know it is only a matter of time. Will be gutted when they give up the ghost eventually as I can't find anything like them anywhere now :(

That's very skimpy hedges.

Pair of levis from pre children once a year,I try them on, sigh and put them away again.

[maxxi]

A rayon 'Lee Trevor' shirt.

whatever happened to rayon?

[Salsaboy]

A tatty leather belt that is falling apart and I've had for about 20 years but can't bear to chuck out. Still use it.

[Thomas Micklewright]

underwear I suppose

A pair of Lulu Guinness wedge mules in black and pink with flamingoes on them. Very frivolous and for entertainment purposes only.

[giggirl]

Ms B - I like the sound of those. I can see why you can't do without them.

[Guest]

Also my peacock blue DMs which gladden my girlish heart almost as much.

[Eddleston]

Like my black leather boots which I had during my first tour to London. Gosh, they are so battered but they are "mine". Precious!

My made to measure suit of cynicism

Actually I've just realised it's my glasses. Sad to confess I've crossed that invisible age boundary to the land where what you wear to bed is reading glasses and a dab of Vick.

[Alan Medic]

You didn't have to confess glasses Ms.B as they are not really clothing. Now you haven't yet mentioned comfortable underwear so perhaps focus on that instead.

Are we talking edible vegetarian pants Tom?

[Alan Medic]

In answer to the question I'd have to say none. If I were burning my clothes I'd probably leave till last the various customised t-shirts I've been given over the years to celebrate an annual reunion with my brothers. They sort of mean something.
