Jenna Bush Hager admits she's notorious for throwing out everything. 'That's just the way I am,' the Today with Hoda & Jenna cohost tells PEOPLE. But there's one piece that she's held on to for almost two decades and hasn't worn again — until now.

The late fashion designer, who also

, created the intricately beaded coat for the historic day. "He was a beloved man in my life," Bush Hager says of de la Renta.Since that day in January 2005, former First Lady Laura Bush kept it safe "in an archive box in Dallas," Bush Hager says. But the star had it shipped to her and modeled it once again for a special photoshoot in

on newsstands everywhere Friday, April 2. "They sent it to me just for this. It's nostalgic to wear something that you haven't worn in 15+ years," she says.When Bush Hager first wore the design, she was in her early 20s, and now after having three children, "life has changed in so many ways" and "it doesn't fit exactly the same.

The former First Daughter remembers feeling no pressure about what to wear during her time in the White House. "We didn't have a stylist. I still don't have a stylist. We just were what we thought was pretty. We wore things that our friends designed [and] American designers that we love," the star says of the fashion choices she and sister Barbara Bush made.

"Honestly there were no expectations to look perfect or any sort of way when it came to my family," she adds. "We were allowed to be ourselves. We thought less about the clothes we wore and more about the amazing experience of living history."
