    What fashion and beauty items have you held on to over the years?

    Who else remembers Caboodles?Who else remembers Caboodles?This week the Shine team got together, and at one point during dinner the topic came to nostalgic fashion items. Many of us had--and still have LeSportsac bags. They're light weight, practical, and with constantly revolving prints, they'll never go out of style. As a softie for '80s trends, I admitted that I still keep my makeup in this old Caboodle from my childhood. It's a sturdy little guy, and it keeps me organized!

    Other oldies still in my closet: band tees from the Rolling Stones, Janet Jackson, and Nirvana, Converse sneakers and Vans slip-ons (my feet have been the same size since sixth grade), and Swatch watches (with new batteries they all still work). Beauty-wise, I know better than to keep my products past their expiration date, but Johnson's products, Chapstick, and Maybelline Great Lash mascara are always stocked in my bathroom. Sometimes I'll even buy Mr. Bubble--the scent just brings me back!

    What items have you held on to over the years? Are there some garments or products you would consider classic?
