Items of clothing you still mourn...

[petitdonkey]

Just doing the ironing and I have realised that my favourite ever French Connection black t-shirt looks awful - those mystery holes around the tummy and and a bit faded. I've had it for about 4 years and they don't do that style any more.

It got me thinking about clothes I have loved and lost…. they are often not the most expensive, just great staples.

• my bright pink high-waisted ankle skimming trousers circa 1992. Leant them to someone and never saw them again. they will have been in fashion at least twice since then (and I would love to know if I could still squeeze into them!!)

• a gold dress from the sixties that was given to me for a fancy dress party by a family friend. Lent it to a friend at uni and never got it back but it was fab!

My favourite blue jumper is past it's best too

Well I found the most perfect pair of tan leather boots in zara, low heel and soft leather. They didn't have my size, so ended up getting very very upset and in tears in the shop , I am so not diva like but was very upset.

I then booked a day off work so I could go all the way to Central London and get them from another shop in town. Dh still does not let me live it down. Needless to say was pretty emotional when they finally died a death

My Topshop Martha's , perfect jeans , great quality . Have one pair left that's hanging on by the thread .
My DM boots , worn daily for years .
