Old armor to new armor

I registered to have a question answered if possible.

I created a male elemental and got pretty far along with him. I bought all the armor I needed and it came time to restart my elemental. I kept the armor seeing as how it is worth quite a bit of money (for me) and I want to use it on my new elemental. This one happens to be a female with the exact same name.

I tried to place a piece of armor on her but to no avail (which I assumed). If my eyes wern't playing tricks on me I could swear that all my armor had changed to a more feminine armor design. The armor is infused which here comes my question. In a later date (after I can get high enough to be infused) is it possible that I use my old armor? If no one knows, I'll post my answer when/if I get to that point again. Thanks!

No, armor can only be used on the original character it was created on. Sorry.

The graphics does change for some reason, but it is not usable.
