During my wardrobe clean out I found several clothes I had totally forgotten I owned as a consequence I now have a nice array of 'new old clothes'.
For today, I decided to doll up slightly. I pulled out a knee length black dress. This dress was my year 10 formal dress. Usually a high school formal dress is one that I would hold onto for a few years in memory prior to cringing with embarrassment as it goes to Vinnies for a new home.
Not this one. I has no desire to attend my year 10 formal. MFL wasn't able to accompany me - he had his first HSC exam the next day. Even my best mate at the time couldn't escort me, they went to school together. Hence English exam first up for him too.
My two favourite boys were a little concerned that I wouldn't be going to my formal. They planned for Paul, on of their friends in year 11 to take me. With only a few days to find an outfit, an dress that wouldn't hold too many memories, I thought at the time... I picked up this basic black dress.
The night ended up being lovelly, Paul was awesome company. He wasn't too bad on the eye either and considering not a single guy at school even looked at me once. I felt good.
I'm wearing this dress today and I have fantastc memories and I'm totally happy that I can fit into a dress I wore 12 years ago!

Congratulations! (seems like I'm saying that a lot to you recently!)
Color me jealous that you're fitting into a ten year old dress. Though, now that I think of it, if I had any clothes from 10 years ago, I think I could fit, too.
I'm envious of your ability to keep things like that! I'm a classic purger . . every few months I go through and weed things out. Then, a year or so later, I find myself thinking, "I wish I still had ___________. Why did I throw that out??!?!"
