items of clothing me and my friends are attached to

i looked through my closet recently to sell some items on Depop and realized how much of an attachment i have to what's in my closet. it's so hard for me to let anything go in there even if it's looking beat the fuck up because of the memories i've had wearing it. here are my friends and i's beloved items.

this Issey Miyake knit because it was like my first big purchase and it was like a really big achievement for me at the time because prior to buying it i was wearing UNIQLO, Supreme, and PALACE. i think at the time i was just like wow i really spent $200 on a sweater and i felt really proud of myself for it.

this blanket is special to me because i got it from my mom when i got into FIT and then i’ve used it so many times for my own personal work so it’s kinda become adjacent to my vibe.

i complimented this old woman’s fur coat at work because i thought it was iconic and she was like “i have another one at home! i’ll give it to you!” and i was like watttttttt…. she asked me for my name and number to tell the lady at the front desk so she could call me. she called me and told me i was an answer to her prayers. i was like….. what… and invited me over to her place. she told me she was getting rid of her coats but she didn’t want to donate it and i “fell right into her lap”. i wrote a card for her and call her to catch up every few weeks!

i have an emotional attachment to this necklace because of the person who has the other half. it was the first big purchase i’ve made for someone who i cared for soooo deeply, a love animalistic. the necklace is super tarnished and looks ugly now hahahahaha but i like to interpret it in a way that it represents time. i wear it to this day and it reminds me of how captivating the love i shared with this person exists.
