What a great response to the post. It's weird that the outfits that I remember are usually trauma or adrenalin based. I also remember periods of time according to what play I was acting in instead of the year. So if someone says 'When was that?' I'll say 'You remember, during Grease'. How cool!

Scientists are working hard to understand the mechanism but they don't understand it fully yet. A few of his articles are about people with memory disorders, such as people unable to form new memories and people who seem incapable of forgetting; they remember every single second of their lives. That last one sounds like it would be an asset but most of these super memory people see it as a curse. According to the articles I've read, you may just be exceptional good at forming memory, like an athlete is good at coordination. A second possibility is that it was important to you to remember what you were wearing for some psychological reason during a crisis and now it has become a habit so you automatically file outfits under things not to forget. Actually, as a way of filing memories about important events, choosing to remember outfits may be a very good way of holding on to other details of the day. Tricks like that are used by people seeking to improve their memory. It's a pretty cool quirk though, like being able to wiggle your ears - another talent I admire.

Maybe you could start doing outfit shots on your blog? That way you won't forget? Ambika - I'm too sentimental with so much of my stuff! Sal - I'm weird like that. I remember really stupid things. Like lyrics to pop songs I haven't heard in 10 years. Na - Is that a dress that you wore on new years one year? I remember that. It IS the crying dress. Ivy - Aw bless!

For some reason I put it on at times of emotional distress and then drink way too much gin and it all goes downhill from there. But I do remember what I wore on my first day of uni - my peacock blue suede skirt with a pale pink t-shirt and, I think, a pair of those plastic sequinned slippers you buy from Asian food stores for $5. and I remember for my 21st I wore a silk Veronica Maine skirt (and this was before VM was big, I was so fashion-forward) and a blue Sass&Bide t-shirt thta I got for some ridiculously cheap discount. Sadly no photos survive, as that may have been my one foray into serious branding. I have certain things, like, a blue dress with gold sparkly nonsense on it which seems to be my crying dress.

I am wracking my brains and can't remember a single outfit from a life-changing event. Galloping Brain Rot strikes again. Thanks for sharing your turning point ensembles. Wow, I’m impressed, lady.

Yeah I'd lay off the Sub Zero. It burns on the way back up. Couture Carrie - I wore a Tweety Bird t-shirt! The Clothes Horse - Oh weird. Maybe it's the trauma of it all that made you remember... Susie_Bubble - Well I guess you document most of your outfits these days so that removes the need to remember them! Lauren - I know! I have so much stuff that has sentimental value and I just can't part with it. Ayesha - Thanks love! I enjoyed reading yours too! Penny - I feel so shallow about it though. I can usually remember what other people are wearing too. Elizabeth - YES! We all did. Or our gym shorts. And in winter I wore tracksuit pants rolled up. Our skirts were really long. Fliss Q - :-) Katie - Oh I would love to! I'm just about to update my site and add a massive chunky blog roll so I'll put you up then! Hailey - Mr Smaggle does it too. J - Oh really? How lovely! I've always that weird thing where I remind people of other people. Well I'm happy for you to get your Alex fix here anytime you need it! Francis - Oh thank you what a lovely thing to say!
