I went to a christening on Sunday and could not afford a new outfit, so I had a rummage around in the attic and found an old bag of clothes and a lovely dress I had forgotten about, so i spruced it up a bit and amazingly in still fitted. A bit nervous on wearing it but by then it was too late to buy another outfit. But I was do glad I did as it didn't look out of place and I had a few comments on how nice it looked, and when I told them how old it was they were amazed and thought it was new. So next time I'm having a clear out I shall seriously think about it, I know they say if you haven't worn it for a year then it should go, but I don't think that is always the case. And being frugal saved me a fortune.

Classic styles are timeless and always worth keeping hold of aren't they. Fashions come around again too. Some of the dresses that my Mum wore in the sixties are fashionable again now. Plus, you were guaranteed that nobody would be wearing the same dress, which is always embarrassing.

It's weird how fashion just goes in circles.

I work near enough next to the Leeds Art College and I see people coming out of there wearing Shell Suit tops and those things were bad enough the first time!!

I love finding old, forgotten clothes. My Mum did a big clean out of her wardrobe and found loads of clothes from when she was my age. Turns out we were the same size so I managed to add a few retro pieces into my wardrobe :)

That's some pretty good luck here

I think I would dread to have my dads hand me downs lol
