Confess - just how old/out of style are those skinny clothes?

I have seen a few threads about hitting that great NSV of trying on "skinny" clothes in the closet. I spent the weekend going through my closet (only 1/2 done) and while it's to get rid of those "fat" clothes and try on clothes you have not worn for years. Just how NOT COOL are they?

To my dismay, a lot of cute new items hung on me like bags. The ones that fit, OMG, out of date and or just not age appropriate for me. Now don't on me for that comment. I will give you an example....I had this really cute white summer top but it was cropped and would show my middle. Maybe back "then" cough cough but not now

What are some of your skinny clothes you can't wait to fit into and be honest, how out of date are they?

Don't laugh but when I lost my 200 pounds in 2004 I was going through packed clothes and found bell bottoms. Yes, bell bottoms....

The last time I was at my goal of 170 was August 2013, so I have lots of cute, still in style, hardly worn stuff waiting for me!

My problem is not having a lot of in-between things to wear. While I was regaining, I was wearing mostly stretchy stuff that masked my regain and supported my regain denial...

This was me at around 170 at that time. I loved this outfit!

I think that outfit is FABULOUS !!

Thanks, Gina! I'm a fan of classics and tend to avoid patterns because it's easier to mix and match solids. And I still carry the "trauma" of plus-sized departments full of loudly patterned clothes...

That is so cute! Are you still struggling?

I had sleeve surgery this year, so not struggling now! Hopefully the struggle to maintain won't be so impossible post-surgery...

Geez, cute and in style! I am so jealous

Well, except for the part where I managed to regain 115 pounds in 3.5 years

LOL when I finally reach my goal, I'll be a weight/size I haven't been since high school in the mid-70s. Needless to say, I don't have any clothes from that time. Too bad though, a lot of them are back in style hahaha
