Hey, 1990 called and wants it's clothes back...

In going through the clothes at Value Village last week, it would appear that the average time a piece of clothing spends in most people's closets before giving it away is about 16.8 years. That place is riddled with high-waisted/tapered faded-blue jeans and boxy blazers with giant-sized shoulder pads and gold buttons.

I'm not sure who thought wearing jeans that go up to the boobs with a football player's upper body-type inspired blazer was hot on a woman. That goes on the "Not Hot" list folks.

my clothes stay an average of 2 years in the closet. Thats two years of "hoping" that I will someday fit back into them. So far the trend isn't in my favor.

As in the foot ball player look, wasn't it all about the high rollin' women looking as strong as men so they could fit in at board meetings? That androgynous look. Fortunately, we can now still look like women and act like men ('scuse me while I scratch my ovaries).
