You went an entire decade as a kid without growing out of them?
“You went an entire decade as a kid without growing out of them?”
The were probably passed down to younger siblings... at least that’s how it worked in my family.
Hand me downs maybe? Interestingly, I recently saw a woolen jumper handed down to me by an aunt when I was a teenager, that I handed down to a younger sister when I went off to college, now being worn by her college-age daughter, and I expect someday, if I live that long, her college-age daughter will wear it. The style is classic and the fabric is beautiful and very sturdy. I am so glad I did cut the hem off that garment in those days of short-short skirts, but for some reason I just could not. I did shorten it a lot, however. Of course, the hem has been let down to its original length now.
I wore larges, cause I was stylin’. I still have some heavy sweaters from middle school that still swallow me, and come out when it gets really cold.
