the real life miss havisham…

i recently came across an article that truly just blew my mind…while a lot of the story made me sad…the end result…the ending so to speak…was well…truly there are no words…and all i wish…was to be there…to see so much of our history through fashion…

a sad story though…as a wardrobe consultant…i am always wanting my clients to buy clothing that they are going to wear…that fits into their wardrobe…while i have gone to new client closets…and seen many items not worn…still with tags on…the goal is always to see how we can fit those items in…and if we can’t…then let them go…

this women…in the article…lived a life that including massive shopping trips…over a span of 70 years…but the items were never worn…and it wasn’t found out until after her death…but we are not talking about 2 or 4 or 10 items…we are talking about decades and decades of clothing…never worn…it took over a year to go through all the trunks of clothing found in this house…

yeah…i would love to see the beautiful pieces up for auction…

here is the full story…truly amazing…
