The Way We Were
Posted on January 6, 2007 by Ching under Flickr.
I’m posting this photo for Jen. I recently gave her two more huge trash sacks full of clothes. Jen has made a few trips to the house to collect clothes over the last year. I think, after several trash sacks, I’ve finally unloaded 50% of my closet. I can’t believe what a huge clothes horse I was.. Even more amazing is the fact that I couldn’t care less about clothes now. What a 180!
Anyway, I had given this dress to Jen in the last batch. It is very old (I had bought it from Spiegel—years ago when I worked for the company and got a 30% discount on everything) but this style of dress doesn’t really go out of fashion. There is a greater possibility of one getting too fat to wear it, than it going out of style—which is what happened in my case. It had been hanging neglected in the back of the closet for several years. I’m hoping Jen can revive it. It’s a nice fun dress. You can wear it with sandals in the summer or with boots and a nice comfy cardigan sweater in the winter. It’s very versatile.
I was quite surprised that Jen didn’t recognize the dress considering I used to wear it all the time. I had worn it to Shiela and Andrew’s wedding (which is where this photo was taken) and also on one of my birthdays. I really liked this dress. I owned several dresses that had only been worn once. This was one that really got a lot of wear. But I guess it has been a long time since I wore it last. Too bad it no longer fits or I would still be wearing it.
I hope Jen takes care of my lonely old clothes. May they have a long, vibrant life with you.. And may they never get neglected.
This is Jen in the brown dress. It’s so weird seeing her in clothes that I was actually able to fit into at one point in my life. Oh, to be young and thin again.

Thanks, Jen! Have fun at Logan’s birthday party! Give him hugs and kisses from Brian and I.
p.s. On the Heelys, that was the smallest I could get so hopefully it won’t be too long before he can wear it. Remember to get some knee pads! =P
