It's a simple, plain black cardigan sweater from Express. It has no holes. There is no logical reason to get rid of it. I would probably have to go spend money on a new solid black cardigan sweater. What would be the point of that?!
I was thinking back to when I first got this. Drumroll please.... Sophomore year of high school. It is from the days of when Express used slashy sizes (remember?! 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, etc.) I have owned this sweater for...almost half my life. It's coming up on being with me half my life. And, as I've already established - there is no end in site for our relationship. How long will our love last?!
Anyhow. Does anyone see a reason to give this gem away? Does anyone else have long-term clothing relationships? Is it a very basic piece or more of a statement item?! I used to give away 'statement items' fairly quickly because I felt it was easier to get tired of wearing them or they went out of style quickly. I don't regret the extra closet space, but there are some quirky items I wish I still had, just for the fun of it (gold leather pants, I am looking in your direction).

A solid dark green (somewhat ribbed-textured) long-sleeved 'BP' shirt from Nordstrom and I are approaching our 16-year anniversary. We've spent time together nearly every week since 7th grade, and now we even go to work together on the occasional Friday. I never guessed we'd end up like this.
I vote to keep it. I've seen that same sweater in stores over and over again.
