I am not a fashionable person. I don't shop often, nor do I follow any fashion trends. I buy what I like, I buy what I feel comfortable in and generally, I go for safe and plain colours, or simple cuts and patterns, especially for workwear.
You could say I am boring. Or you could say I am unadventurous. Or you could also say I am conservative. Oh well and whatever. I do and still take some pride in my appearance, just on my own terms.
It suddenly occurred to me that, the cardigan I am having on today, was bought 10 or maybe even 11 years ago I think. It was from a shop in HK. I still remember it was on a trip with 2 of my secondary school friends.
It's either:
- The material of the cardigan is so good that it can last for so long
- Or the cut and style of the cardigan is unique and classic enough to still be relevant
- Or I don't wear it often so it has lasted so long in my wardrobe
- Or I am oblivious to the wear and tear and general deterioration of this particular piece of clothing and that's why it is still around
Hmm.
One thing for sure, I can still wear it. :) The sleeves are slightly tighter though...which means I am more or less the same as last time? Just maybe slightly puffier.
I can't remember if there are any other items in my wardrobe which were bought so long ago....Might be an interesting thing to do a tally.
