Clothes! Such a love/hate relationship for me. Most of my clothes are work clothes, but I keep a few nice outfits for weddings, funerals and the rare dinner out - which is usually a wedding or a funeral, LOL!
My Mom is a Clothes Horse, too - it must be a Generational Thing. She has saved some pretty cool things, though. I have her 'swing coat' from the 50's. It's a nubby gray wool with Rhinestones sewn all over it. Similar to this:
I LOVE that coat!
Mom is wearing my Pendleton wool suits from my working days, clothes from her deceased sisters, clothes she has gotten on sale & found at Goodwill or thrift shops. Once in a blue moon she paid full price for something. She was a teacher for 25 years & wore something different every day so her wardrobe is extensive.
I have ‘knock around’ clothes for the most part, a couple of tops to go with a pair of jeans or a pair of black Lands End slacks for ‘off the farm’ situations. I do have a “little black dress” .... being a Southern woman, all you need is a little black dress, a string of pearls & a Smithfield ham to handle any social situation. :-)
