Closet memories

Lifestyles ran a story in Thursday's Spot about how our clothing sometimes holds special memories (and sometimes groans of horror). Everyone has had the moment when they went through their closet and remembered a special date because of a special outfit and I'll go so far as to say that we've all had one of those "What was I thinking?" moments.

Take a minute to share your own clothing memory in the comments section.

Here's mine.

My mother used to make Sunday dresses and other clothes for me and my sisters. They always matched, especially those worn for major holidays. Although I don't have any of those items anymore, every time I see us in those photos I ask my mother if it was fun to torture us. Evidently it was because there's a lot of them...

My mother too made us some hideous outfits that were captured in photos. Some of the worst have to be these one-piece jumpsuit things with collars and frills. They had "poofy" legs and were horrible. Most of them were in really bad floral prints too. Other bad fashion choices from childhood/teen years include: t-shirt dress, shoelace hairbows, tight rolled jeans, holiday sweatshirts with puffy paint, colored overalls, sock pulled to the knees...with shorts, and probably many more. I blame the late 80's and 90's. What were people thinking?!?!?

About Me

I'm as close to being a local girl as it gets - I grew up few counties away, went to Gardner-Webb, then stayed in the area after graduation. I started as a reporter at The Star, but have since moved over to the design side, and more recently took over the online editor position.
