Hold on to them as long as you need.<br />Also feels good to be able to wear an item that has waited in the wardrobe a year or two, wondering whether it was a mistake.Patricia Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06478222039198029295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630924445657816001.post-43427911562995630072012-01-07T00:04:12.774+00:002012-01-07T00:04:12.774+00:00Love this post, Lucille!

I also possess a size 8 ballgown; a Chinese silk jacket, never worn as I never could be trusted in primrose-coloured silk; an antique Indian sari jacket (have we been on the same holidays, Lucille?), likewise never worn because it made me look like something off the Sergeant Pepper album. <br />But why on earth would you preserve your school hat!maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955194101659665925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630924445657816001.post-47767883863712168242012-01-05T22:47:10.209+00:002012-01-05T22:47:10.209+00:00I loved this.
