Borrowing Clothes

Hi everyone! Do you ever borrow clothes from your mother? When I was younger and smaller, I didn't. First, because her clothes are too big and I don't really like her style back then. Now that I got bigger and my mom's taste with clothes improved alot, there are times that I borrow her clothes. And sometimes, she borrows mine too. How about you?

Hi there cherubgardenia!Yeah, it is great. And more wardrobes actually because I can also borrow clothes from my two younger sisters too. Not much form the youngest because she's really thin but there are some blouses of hers that I can fit into and she has great clothes. Thank you very much for your response.

Yeah. And I still have two half brothers to add to that. And I used to borrow clothes from my father too. It looks funny sometimes but his clothes are really comfortable.

Me and my mom have completely different sizes lol So I never did. Besides,we do have some major taste differences. But I must admit there was one thing in her closet that I would've killed for when I was a kid-a shiny silver tiger-striped silk suit! That was my dream outfit back in the day,now it just makes me smile:)

Hi there AnakSuNamun! Well, with the size and taste difference I can imagine how it's almost impossible, lol. But did you ever had a chance to wear that dream outfit? Thank you very much for your response.

hi nanayangel. I generally don't like to borrow clothes. But sometimes I borrow something from my sister's wardrobe:). I have different style than my mother and now I live in other city than my paretns, so I don't borrow clothes from my mother. I didn't borrow them from my mom even when I was younger, because I was smaller. When I was studying, I sometimes borrowed a blouse from my friend. Now I don't borrow clothes from my friends. have a nice day, jazgottt.

Hi there babymar! That's great. I always have a hard time deciding what to wear and sometimes, I also end up borrowing my mother's or my sister's clothes. Thank you very much for your response.

Never have. My mothers clothes were always slightly bigger and of different taste so I never borrowed from her. I did borrow from my twin though LOL

It would be a little weird if I borrowed clothes from my mother. I'm not even sure if were the same size or not.

Yes, I used to, and that was a long time ago. She already passed away 6 years ago. Now, since my mother-in-law is almost as my size, I used her old clothes. When I came here, she gave away a lot of her clothes because the clothes I brought from home are not enough to keep me warm so she gave me all the flannel pjs and jacket that she was not wearing anymore so that I can feel warm. And when she buys something from the store that she later on didn't like she would ask me if I like it and she will give it to me.

When I was young I used to borrow clothes from my older brothers. I had few that time thats why I always borrow some of their t-shirts, I think that was during high school. This time no more and nobody borrows clothes from me too, though I am now the one who are giving my brothers some clothes.

Hi there Blue Angel! I see. Then it's okay since you don't have the same taste with clothes. Thank you very much for your response.

I don't. I am too skinny and mother is a biggy. But i do borrow clothes from sisters, and vice versa. If I don't have a dress to wear, I will just go to the neighboring wardrobe.

Im in my early fifties and now at last I can borrow clothes from my Mother,she wears very nice clothes for her age actually,and she always buys tops and juerseys that Iike,so im always borrowing from her.When I was younger I used to want to borrow from my sister,but she was always a lot thinner than me,so it was a realproblem,I used to get really jealous because her clothes idnt fit me,and one day I remember it so well,she bought a pair of purple hot pants,well these hot pants had silver buttons on them,and they were the latest fashion,this was in the 1970s,and i went up to the bedrrem and tried to squeeze myself into them,and try as I might there was no way I could get into them.I was soooo mad....

Hi there Ella! That's really cool. I think that it's great when mothers have good taste with clothes. But well, it doesn't really matter. Mothers are great no matter what. That's how my sister feels too. I am not thin but she's bigger than me. I remember one time when she bought some clothes and two out of three didn't fit her and she gave me the other two. I can feel her sadness so I offered to take her shopping and buy things for her. Thank you very much for your response.

no i dont,because i believe personal things should not be lend or borrowed,health wise you avoid transferring of skin diseases and most of all body odor...but if its your parents or brother and sister its just fine but not for friends and cousins....
