Holding On

We all have a pile of clothes hanging around in our closet. Some new, some old. Some we don't know what to do with and some that we have not worn in ages, but are still keeping in our closet - just in case the style will come back.
Bravo!
I applaud those who still cling to those itty bitty pieces we can not let go of.
Because guess what?
The trend always comes back.
Look at the fashion world - it is all but a never-ending cycle that keeps revolving and coming back to point A again
Of course, not in the same way, as it also renews itself. A new spice is added everytime.

Look at the 80's. Did they ever go away? Nope. And we don't want it to, because - girls just wanna have fun! But please keep your dose of 80's to a minimum, because if you exceed the limit - well...let's just say, that's so Courtney Love!

Look at the 70's. Yes, make Love not War. But besides that...I love seeing girls rocking the hippie look. Blonde hair with a beachy tan, floral dresses..tiny shorts with leisure boots under it, tanks and vests on top. YES! That's what I'm talking about.
Check out H&M's new season campaign they are also launching on their website under http://www.hm.com/.
Gisele is rocking the Flower Power!

Anyway. My point here is to enlighten those who feel the need to throw clothes away. DON'T!!!
You will be sorry.
Don't have room? Ok ok...there are some things you can throw away. But only some.
Like the grunge shirt of your favorite band that has faded through all the washing -->out!!!
The jeans that are 3-4 sizes too small, but that you keep in hope that you might still...sometime...in the future...maaaybee fit into them again. No hunny, not going to happen --> out!!
The sneakers you have worn a 100 times and the front has busted up and your toe is peeking through --> what the hell are you thinking??? Out!!!

Things you should never ever ever ever ever throw out though, are;

•  a classic jean jacket
• white pants for the summer
• a leather biker jacket
• the classic black mini
• black stilettos
• the jeans that make your butt stand out the best
• a sequined party-dress
• an evening gown 
• your bags (totes,clutches,big bags,small bags - I don't care!)

 If I catch anyone throwing away one of the above, I'm going to slice and dice!

My mother made this mistake. A reaaaallly stupid mistake.

So I look at old photo-albums of my mother and what do I see? She is wearing harem pants, blazers with shoulder pads, giant earrings, over-sized pullovers...and I'm thinking: YES!!! Woohoo, I know where my style sense is coming from.
So I ask her: "Where are your old clothes mom?"
"Which old clothes?"
"The ones you were wearing...here in the pictures!"
"Oh those? I threw them away ages ago!"
I sniff a little bit, my lower lip starts trembling. Tears start welling up in my eyes.
"W-w-w-what? Even your wedding dress?"
"Yea, totally!"

Uuuurrggh *crush something*

See what I mean? Be senseful people. Like Diesel tells you;
Smart listens to the head. Stupid listens to the heart.

Oh and yea, the main point I almost forgot: RECYCLE!!!
