Not an actual staple you understand, but a staple item of my wardrobe. The black coat.
I've had it since Christmas 2004 - I know, I know - so 5 years is an incredibly impressive amount of time for it to have lasted. I have sewn the inside seams and the inside of the pockets twice, and they burst again recently, so much so that it's quite common for me to find money, tissues etc. in the bottom lining, and for me to put my arm into the lining rather than the sleeve. It was getting ridiculous.
So I have been desperately looking for another one for a couple of months - you can't go without, it's not possible - and finally found a suitable one yesterday, so it's goodbye to my 5 year old faithful.
[It's probably obvious by now that I have decided that this pledge can mean both getting rid of unwanted/unrequired items, and also finally replacing items that I have been putting off. Hopefully 100 days should cover it...]
