Has the item graduated from daytime to night time then a "monument" in your life/ wardrobe?

''Mine is a blue lace bra that followed me home from school in 2012 and became my best friend even when other bras were calling for attention.
The hook became rusted, broken, still I'd use pin to hold it . It's a long time I wore it but just can't brace up to throw it away. There is this deep connection between the "bra and I".
I caress it every time I search deep into the bra and pant bag and laugh. It brings this "happy memories and joy" each time I see it. Funny enough, the cup and hand is still clean and attractive but, the side elastic has become weak..... I'll buy hook for it and resume our love soon....Oh!
My bra....it gave me so much confidence....packs well and gives this fine shape in any clothe....lol...I can't believe I'm writing this much about a "BRA"
Your story is hilarious Pat.
What cant you let go of?
I have a black,very beautiful A-Lined fully open at the sides red carpet skirt that the Late Fashion designer Remi Lagos gifted me when i was relocating to the Diaspora......that gift was in 2004,still brand new after three times wearing but i still cant let it go.
Nice topic.

ReplyDeleteI usually don't hold sentimental attachment to stuff. I always keep an open mind that I can and will always get something much more better.
ReplyDelete...but that doesn't mean I wont somehow miss my old stuff. Lol.
Me too... At first I might be reluctant, but I'll let go with an open mind
DeleteSame here, I even go through my wardrobe after every 3months to look for something to dash out, even in my shop I give out things that have stayed too long... it will just be biting my body

DeleteMy sister has this blender she has been using since uni days. She even took it to her husband's house. She neatly packed hubbys own and kept it safe then started using hers. 😂😂
DeleteThe only thing I find difficult letting go is "money"
ReplyDeleteThis post should be for my sister, she has problems letting things go... In primary school, she would keep all her notebooks, textbooks (she's older than me)... When she was in secondary school and I was in primary school (primary 4), I stopped copying notes because I had her notes at home.
Mind you, you must not rough handle the notes, it must be just as she left them (wrapped and neat). At some point, I thought it was normal, I started storing old books, notes it wasn't until we had a room almost full of books, roaches, and that old smell I realized we were almost going crazy... My mum, after years of complaining, finally took them all out and burnt them.
Some of the textbooks she used in secondary school were still here until recently (she's a university graduate). My younger cousins/siblings can't even use the books because they have become extinct.
Let me forward this post to her 😂
😂😂😂
DeleteShe's my ywin
Delete*twin
DeleteHmmmm I am still thinking 🤔🤔🤔

ReplyDeleteMine is one black underwear short, my mum bought it for me when i was about to enter IMSU in 2003, till today i still use it, it has holes almost everywhere, i keep patching them. i have an emotional attachment to that short.
ReplyDeleteI give out stuff, but I sure do have gifts ... I have some sort of sentimental attachment to or something I just want to just keep seeing
ReplyDeleteHad a bra I loved so much ... sewed it
Till mum threw it away. I have a shoe that I have not worn , it's like a monument sitting pretty in my shoe closet
I have a wristwatch a man from San Diego bought for me on the plane when I was returning from the us as far back as 2008. Still rocking it.
Can't let go of my multicolor short lailai..back in school, my roomie declared one sat like that 'stealing day' that we shd steal just one cloth of our choice from each other, hmm, me wey dey eye her multicolor short, then she just bought it from OK. And she on the other side was eyeing my jean jumpsuit. Naso we steal each cloth oh. I still rock my short till date, can't let it go, not now abeg. She was shocked the day I snap with it and send to her, she never believe I still wear it.
ReplyDeleteI'm so ashamed to tell you guys mine. This post is actually to shame me. If I told you there were items momsie bought for me to take to boarding school (jss1)that still followed me to my husband's house, would you believe? Make I stop biko. I'm the type that knows how to use things neat and well. And for me, if it doesn't spoil, it needs no replacement. May be because I go for the quality things which may be costly. Some items have probably VOWED never to branch in my house again. But today I want to turn a new leaf. So help me God....
ReplyDeleteMine is, the olden days shoe grandma gave me be4 she died. I can't give it out and can't wear, but seeing it everyday day reminds me of the day she handed it over to me. Olaidex4sure
ReplyDeleteMine is my z10, my colleagues Don talk tire. I just can't let it go but I know one day am gonna let it go.
ReplyDeleteThere was one nice cotton pyjamas I had, started wearing it in pre-degree, wore it till I left university. A night to my wedding day, one of my friends from pre-degree saw it on me again and screamed, that was how she wrestle the pj from my body o and used scissors to cut it into pieces. I soo loved that pyjamas.
ReplyDeleteLmao she didnt let you carry it to Hubby's house. Great friend she is

ReplyDeleteThis to me,is the most hilarious post I have read 'cause I can relate. Mine,until it was stolen used to be a sweater my mum made for me. My heart was having 10different sounds the day I couldn't find that sweater😭😭😭😭

ReplyDeleteShe has her old school foreign standing fan she used in Sch those days.
She kept my old shoe I used for my one yr birthday for my daughter.
My mum would never let go of things. I mean NEVER EVER
Sounds like my mum. She kept so many of my old clothes, a particular set was one I wore on my second birthday. I dressed NY daughter up in the same outfit in her second birthday and posted both photos side by side. My mother burst into tears when she saw it. Too sweet
DeleteMy husband too. He likes keeping things even if the thing is almost of no use
ReplyDeleteMine is the wall clock bought by my late dad in 1994.it Is unique,i am believing it was a sampled clock. I have moved that clock to wherever I reside and I plan to pass it on to one of my child. Please ⌚

Mine is this shorts I wear to sleep I've had it for over four years now with no intentions of letting it go, in fact it's so worn that if I Wash it, it can get dry in the next two hours, I feel so comfy in them
ReplyDeleteAgain was a small Teddy my coz gave me, had it for almost ten yes but had to let it go because I was beginning to believe my luck was tied to each, for each time I go out with it, I always get lucky and I didn't want to tie my luck to anything so I let it go, it was hard though, in fact one time the eye fell off, I bought glue and put it back
My late mum's beautiful net blouse i inherited 25 years ago... Oh how i love that blouse. Despite the many patch patch i still rock it with leggings every now and then.

ReplyDeleteLol. This is so funny! I have two things I remember now... There might be more. I have a special skill - I can keep things for Africa! Anyway, One is a black lace top I bought over twenty years ago. I dashed my daughter. She stopped wearing it. Instead of me to give someone, i took it back and continued wearing it. The second is a black and white skirt suit I bought over ten years ago. It is my "good luck"suit. Any interview I wear it to, I must get the job ooo. So, i refuse to throw it away or dash anyone even though the collar is as faded as anything and the skirt is getting too short sef.
ReplyDeleteMy Mum and Sisters are hoarders! Haha! they can keep things! My Mum has this cooker she still uses - after 40 years! I'm tired of telling her to change it. Let's not even talk about her over 40 years old dining table and chairs. She just can't let go of things.
