You can build an old_IE only stylesheet that adds / duplicates all [*] the 
styling you put inside media queries in your main stylesheet. Then load that 
old_IE stylesheet via a conditional comment.

I usually add a comment in my main stylesheet for things that need attention 
for older IE, then it is easy, when building the old_IE stylesheet, to perform 
a simple search for instances of that comment (with a little bit of Applescript 
help). Some people automate that with preprocessors like SASS or whatever is 
the fashion these days, but that is way to complicated for my old brain.

 [*] … or some … depending on what you need, and what old_IE can actually 
understand (no need to stick box-shadow or gradients in it for example)
