Do you keep things for when the trend comes back?

I don't keep costume jewelry for the same reasons I don't keep clothes. If those necklaces ever were the in style again your personal style would be different and they would still feel dated.

Im keeping my medium oak cabinets in hopes that they come back in style by the time we are ready to sell. 😂😂

I dont tend to buy trends and I wear what I buy, so no, I dont have any trendy clothing that Im holding on to.

I have stuff because I like it, not because it's trendy. It wouldn't occur to me to keep anything for any other reason than I liked it.

This is me too. I don’t have or wear much jewelry to begin with, but I like the things I have and I don’t pay any attention to trends.

My general rule is if I love it, I 'll keep it. Most costume jewelry has its time. I generally wear the pieces I received from my mom, so other items are rarely kept.

No and my regrets are few but I do have a couple. One pair of brown boots and a classic plaid winter blouse and a dress or two. Keeping too much doesn't work for me due to a super small closet and I get overwhelmed with too much of anything. 

No. Who knows if it will ever come back. I don't worry about trends. I wear what I like for the most part.

I've also stopped buying costume jewelry. I'd rather save up and buy a nicer piece of jewelry.

It's a good reminder to get rid of some older necklaces I have out of sight.

I tucked away my skinny jeans that still fit and purged my old ones that were too small. I got rid of most of my statement necklaces and waist high belts from the early 2000s but I did keep a couple of favorites. I do have a bin of 2000s clothes I plan to let my nieces pick through soon, they are growing up in the same suburb I went to middle school and high school in and according to them I have a lot of “vintage school merch” they want to wear when it’s their turn to go to the same schools.

I tend to err on the side of classic styles and I don’t get too trendy when it comes to clothing but I do like to play around with accessories, it’s less of an investment and I don’t feel as bad if I don’t wear stuff for a while. I am not going for the super wide leg look for pants and jeans but I have tried out straight leg and boyfriend cut for something new without looking like I’m trying to be 20 years old.

   It's always fun to see them realize we aren't totally uncool!   DD raided my stash of 80's earrings last year.  Now I'm looking at what's in and thinking I need to go reclaim a couple of pairs!  

I'm not very trendy so I'm not holding onto anything hoping it comes back. At 62, I wear what I like and what fits my body and my lifestyle. The rare trendy pieces I buy, I buy inexpensive so I have no problem passing them on or tossing them.

I asked a friend awhile back if she kept clothes that don't fit anymore in case she can wear them again and she said the question that she asks herself is not "could it fit again but would I wear it if it did" and she finds the answer is usually no. I've been doing that too and find that it's easier to get rid of things that might fit again but I know I won't wear them anyway even if they did. Same rule applies to trendy. My question isn't will it come back in style, but would I wear it if it did. Being older, I have seen a lot of trends come back in style, but rarely, if ever, have I repeated them personally.

I definitely keep accessories. This was a lesson of my mother's that I follow. Jewelry just doesn't take up that much room and I often find that I wear things years later. One of mother's costume jewelry necklaces came from a high end department store we had in the 1970's. It would have been considered modern then. She is wearing it in one of my favorite photos of her taken about 10 years ago. I wore it to a wedding around that time and I've worn it recently. I got rid of the huge 1980's and 90's earrings because I just don't have the 'big hair' to pull those off anymore. I don't keep handbags unless they are in very good condition.

I've also got a selection of scarves that go back to the 80's (and one of my aunts from the 70's.) I've been wearing one of those 80's silk ones this winter because it goes with a sweater I bought last year. I received a couple of compliments on it and I doubt anyone had any idea it was that old.

I had to LOL when I read that because my kid would be in heaven right now if I would have kept all of my polo shirts, crop tops and preppy sweaters from my 1980’s youth! I didn’t have a ton of clothes back then so I wore what I had until it literally fell apart. 

I've never been a trend follower.
I've never been one to jump on a bandwagon.

If I like something I purchase it, wear it, use it, etc....
If I purchase something, I keep it indefinitely or until it wears out or I longer want it. If I no longer want to keep something, then it gets tossed, donated or given away.

If I purchase something and it happens to be something that society in general deemed "the current in thing".......my purchase was NOT made because other people were buying it. My purchase was made because *I* liked it.

If someone wants to judge me, because *they* think I or my home isn't up to date or in style..... that's their problem, not mine.
I don't worry about what other people think of me and how I live my life. I humbly do what makes me happy.
