AIBU to keep these clothes for myself?

[ShoesShoesGloriousShoes]

Live in a block of flats. I jokingly said to my neighbour opposite, after she was shocked at how much DS had grown, that if her DH was throwing any clothes out, I'd take them for DS.

She called me over today and offered me some good quality winter fleeces, jumpers and windproof jackets that were hers but are now too small for her and she's had boxed since 2019. She said I could take the lot for DS and put the more girly ones aside for DD. I've separated out the ones DS (wears adult S/16 year old) could get away with wearing, DD (10, clothes size 10 years) has already commandeered one. Two of the jackets and one of the fleeces would fit me. WIBTU to wear them and not put them aside for DD? If I do, it's highly likely she'll see me wearing them at some point.

YABU - box them up, she gave them for the DC
YANBU - It'll be a few years before they fit DD, wear them.

Wear them, definitely

If I was your neighbour, I'd be more than happy with you wearing them.

Keep them but let her know/sort of ask - just a quick “actually a couple of things fit me, if that’s ok?!”

I doubt very much that she would object but avoids bad blood

Would you then give them to DD when they fit her though? They were given for DD. And I'd feel so embarrassed her seeing me in them tbh. I get that it doesn't make sense wasting something that doesn't fit DD but they will one day.

She wants them to be used. If i were the neighbour I would be happy to see any of you wearing them.

You sound quite friendly with her, could you not just mention? Just say 'thanks so much for the clothes, DS and DD have got a few lovely new things. I hope it's ok but a few of the things were my size and I was hoping to keep them for myself, if that's ok with you? Would you rather I did something else with them?'

Presumably she is quite generous and easy going given she has handed them over in the first place and will be happy someone is getting the use out of them. Maybe get a wee box of chocs or something as a thank you?

I doubt she would mind but i would mention it anyway just so it doesn't look like you were being a CF

I wouldn't mind at all if I was your neighbour but I think if you let her know you'll be more comfortable.

Just ask her. It will out your mind at ease.

She'll be happy they're getting some use I'm sure so enjoy them.

Once I want things out of the house I just want them gone and would be delighted that they were being used by anyone. Perhaps mention it so you don't feel awkward.

I agree with pp's I'd just day to her, I'm sure she wouldn't mind but saves feeling awkward!
