I purchased both this scarf & this bag about 5 years ago. 5 years is a really long time in fashion, and especially long for my personal style. I snagged this Dooney & Bourke purse from a consignment shop in Phoenix, AZ (for $20!) in July 2010, and this scarf in Mexico in April 2010. Its crazy for me to think back to those trips, but I love that I’m still using the pieces. They both bring back great memories from my vacations.
Tell me, do you have any items you wear that evoke certain memories, or are from somewhere special?
Have a great day!

I still have a dress from college (like, 6 years ago!) that I wear, every time I put it on it brings me back to dancing in college bars 🙂

love it – clothes do hold memories for sure!
The color of that dress is beautiful!! And it’s really lovely paired with that scarf. I’m also completely fawning over those shoes. They look like they’d be pretty comfortable, to be heels.

thank you 🙂
Wowwww that bag was a seriously killer score! No wonder you’re still using it!
I have some pieces in my closet from several years ago that I still wear too. These particular things do take me back to previous times in my life and it’s one of the reasons I HATE tossing stuff! #ImCrazy

I totally agree with you though. I have a whole drawer dedicated to “sentimental clothing” – not even kidding!
Love the color of the dress. Your scarf really pops with the dress. Thanks for sharing!
