This is the Conversation Forum for Talking Point: Your Favourite Clothes << bright colours, old fashions I can still just about get into it... >> Subject: Nostalgic or Deluded? Posted Apr 15, 2010 by cloudfall   Posting 1 Favourite clothes you can never get rid of? I have a swimsuit from 1990 that I haven't been able to squeeze into since having children. I love it because it is based on '50s style with polka dots (which I love) and is navy blue and white. I have moved many times and it is still with me. After I bought it, I was interviewed by CBC Radio (Canada) about women's experiences trying on bathing suits and how we feel about it. It was a humorous piece but never aired because the first Gulf War started and they bumped the piece to do special war news reporting (of all things!). Every time I see it in a drawer, I imagine that once I lose the weight I put on over the years I will be able to wear it again. Is this realistic, or just a harmless fantasy? At middle age, would it even suit me now? Maybe it just reminds me of the fun I had doing the interview. Or maybe it's those polka dots.

It's funny how we can open a drawer and just seeing an old item of clothing can whisk us back instantly to a particular time and place. Conversation list Conversation list
