sentimental closet

There are some items in my closet that I have had for longer than I can remember.  I don't remember when this olive jacket found its way into my closet but I will tell you its one of my most worn items.  There is something great about an unusual neutral jacket.  This one is lightweight and a great length for jeans or a dress.  It also has great pockets for a casual look (and for places you don't want to bring your purse).  This floral dress is a new addition to my closet.  I loved the large pattern and the colors that can easily transition into fall.  Its important to think of all the chances for items when adding them into your closet.  This one works with sandals and a denim jacket, heels with a light blazer, and even sneakers if you really want to dress it down.  

I have had so many memories in this jacket I don't think I could ever part with it.  Its strange how some clothing holds sentimental value.  I feel like it is a part of my story.  I often do not remember memories until I put on an item that I was wearing when it happened.  Is it strange to have a bond with an inanimate object?  My clothes are the version of a security blanket, or memory box... the only difference is that mine hang on a hanger and can be taken into public, unlike a blankey (unless you cut a piece off and put it in your wallet - don't worry I will not drop any names).
