Resurrecting The Dead

Yup, that's what it is.

I was sitting in the train on the way home yesterday looking at my dress and it struck me.   For some odd reason, I was reminded of this black dress I had in the 90s.  I remembered I bought it and only wore it once.  Then I just kept it and it followed me wherever I went, whichever house or place I moved to, and I never even thought of giving it away.  I remember it was thick and granny looking.  I didn't like the feel, and it had a very odd flare to it.  Anyway, I immediately text my helper to look for it in my closet.  She found it.  I got home and put it on and I loved it!  Really odd.  What happened??

Well, old pieces buried in your closet can be a treasure many years after.  Yes, I did say that if you haven't worn something in 2 years, chances are you will never wear it again.  But if you happen to find it, try it on.  And I did.  I tried to hypothesize why I didn't like it before, and I think it was because of the cut which is really not too flattering.  Back then, I did not wear 4 inch heels, I was way skinnier and didn't like anything falling right at the knee.  I also did not know how to accessorize.  Well, that all has changed and I am glad I kept this dress.
