What's the oldest thing in your closet that you still wear?

I never thought about it much until I put on my old blue pants from Ann Taylor this morning. They've been relegated to painting and/or garden duty because they're almost 15 years old! I remember that because I bought them to wear at Philippa's birthday party, the first one we celebrated in our new home in Indianapolis. Back in November '95.

I have to say I'm pretty pleased with myself that I can still fit into them. Not that I want to be seen in them, though. Not after watching The Devil Wears Prada last night! Miranda would kill me with a single glance!!!

My sister was married in yards and yards of shantung silk so I know how beautiful it is. Gold's such a pretty color for you.

A black Italian washable wool pants suit and jacket by Eileen Fisher. About 13 years old and still looks like brand new. Love it. Comfortable and can be dressed up or down. Not to mention warm.

My favorite red Chanel jacket that I paid $3500 for in 1996 for a Tulane class reunion.

My favorite thing in my closet......Red 100% Wool Double Breasted Ankle length coat. I bought it in NYC Thanksgiving 1989. I only wish I had as many opportunities to wear it as I do my Red Silk PJ's.

I've lost three of the original buttons....so I need to look for some new ones.:roll:
Any suggestions?

Everything in my closet is old. I have never been a fashionista, but now I can proudly say that I am a recessionista!

Well, I'll chime in here for the guys...

I have a pair of fraternity sweat pants that were given to me in 1988 that I still love to wear. Of course now, they have been made into cut offs and are almost indecent but I still love them.

I've had to rescue them from the garbage 3 times!
