Katie,
I understand what you mean, without the same emotions....
Boy clothes are clothes. Coverings for the body to keep you warm, or establish a certain presence.
women's clothes are ornamentations, meant to improve appearance, meant to be comfortable, meant to show off and draw attention.
Any good event will be associated with those clothes - bringing you back to that emotional state just by seeing them.
It's a wonderful thing.
Like remembering food, "Just like mom / grandma used to make." Those weekend visits, the pasta (for me)? Wanting Pasta now is actually an emotional emptiness begging to be filled.
The clothes are filling one such void for you.
Congratulations on that! Many more years to repeat the experience, as well. ;-)
