The CP team wants people to pay for member items and features, so you will need to renew you membership to wear them again. A very few member items from certain events are actually available to all players, but as they were available in member-only rooms, only members could access them. This is why those "member items" are still available after your membership expires, but there aren't many of them from the first place.
