The prompt asked about TWO favorite things to wear. But that doesn’t really make sense, because it doesn’t clarify whether it’s talking about upper garments, lower garments, coats, shoes, hair accessories, or a dozen other categories. So I had to do some thinking about this one.
However, I did realize pretty quickly that all my “favorite” things to wear have one or two things in common. First of all, they are all COMFORTABLE. I spelled that with capital letters because it is my primary decision maker. I used to be willing to be uncomfortable in order to be “in fashion” or to wear something that I thought was particularly flattering or would catch the “right person’s” eye. Nowadays, I am much more sensible. I cater to my own comfort.
So in the category of favorites I have to include a powder blue sweatshirt, which is cozy and comfy, a red Christmas top (also soft and comfy) with lovely sculptured silver Christmas trees on the front — a gift from my sister — a necklace that is simply the name Jesus written in script, with a short silver chain.
The second thing many of my favorites have in common is that they have sentimental or nostalgic significance. And that’s why I have a pair of black flats and a pair of tan flats that are reminiscent of some I wore as a teenager. I loved that style, and when they came back into the stores a few years ago, I grabbed up a couple pair and always enjoy wearing them.
So, there you have it. Are there other things I could include on the list? Certainly. But these are enough to answer the question. So now if you’ll excuse me, I will just go slip into something comfortable. 🙂
I don’t think I’ve any cherished items of clothing, but yes they need to be comfortable.
Nice post Sandra! All things soft and comfy are my idea of cherished items. But I also have few nostalgic collectibles that are gifts from my loved ones.
