I have a few one of a kind pieces that I would definitely miss and would not know how to replace. A quilted jacket and a hoodie made from an old sleeping bag.

Also, I hope the tubular shorts I sent are looking cute on someone! Because of you I also have a pair and I bought the tubular pants too, which I would also need to replace if I lost them.

Sucks so much that you lost everything, but I love how you’re finding some of the exact pieces again!

Kira, as a NELA mom with a closet of clothes that don’t fit, I need the link to this group! I love your wardrobe, I’m sorry that it was mainly lost.

I would need to get hard copies of “Matilda,” DVD and book😭 My kids watch the DVD you signed for my mom while drunk at a Nar party once long ago🤣 Thank you for sharing this, I can’t imagine how extensive your clothing collection was. I have a pink short sleeve oxford shirt of yours - if you need to look like a Japanese schoolgirl again you let me know.

I repurchased my green dr martens…breaking them in again was a painful process but almost there.. My friend gave me her corduroy mustard coat from the great which was a Danielle staple… but this list is giving me so many great ideas for “the new me”. Did I misinterpret or do you wear a strapless bra with regular/non strapless items!?
