Nostalchic<\/strong>: \/nah-stal-sheek<\/em>\/ Jenny’s closet is full of nostalchic items from the ’60’s and ’70’s which she wears every day. <\/p>\n

Moldfashioned<\/strong>: \/m\u00c5\u008dldfash\u00c9\u2122nd<\/em>\/ Gloria insisted on hanging onto her moldfashioned clothes, sure that they would come back into style. Unfortunately, when they did, she was in no shape to wear them. She tells people that the clothes shrunk but nobody really believes that. Etymology:<\/em> mold (a furry growth of minute fungal hyphae occurring typically in moist warm conditions) old-fashioned (not modern) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Geriatticwear<\/strong>: \/jerry-attic-wear<\/em>\/ Kim climbed the ladder in search of geriatticwear from her grandmother’s old trunk because it was considered campy and hip. She found some tie-dye shirts, torn jeans, granny glasses and peace signs. Her grandmother smiled, remembering when she, too, dug around in her grandmother’s closet for campy clothing from the flapper era. It was truly regeneration — everything old becomes new again to the next generation. Etymology:<\/em> geriatric: old, obsolescent, worn out + attic: a place or room in the roof of a house used to store old articles of clothing, toys and furniture + wear: outfit, ensemble Created by:<\/em> mrskellyscl.<\/p>\n

Grandmother? Ouch! I still have a tye-dyed shirt or 2.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Retrousseau<\/strong>: \/reh tro ooh SO<\/em>\/ My mother bribed me to help her clean out her basement by saying that I could take whatever I wanted. I found what amounted to a retrousseau of the 80’s clothes that she wore in college. Although I wasn’t interested in wearing any of them, I knew they would be valuable to someone. Sure enough, the vintage clothing store gave me $300! Etymology:<\/em> retro + trousseau (collection of clothing) Created by:<\/em> karenanne.<\/p>\n
