to wear my teenage daughter's clothes?

[GetOrfMoiLand]

She nicked a new vest that I wanted to wear yesterday.

So, in defiance, I said i am going to wear all your stuff.

So -

Bench jeans with holes in
Jack wills long sleeved top (Jack Wills written down the arm)
Hollister vest over top
Hi top trainers in fluroescent colours and bog tongues (I had something very similar in 1991)

Went up the petrol station, felt very self conscious in all my teenager gear, imagined people pointing and laughing.

I felt like a bit of a twat tbh. All i needed to do was to backcomb my hair into a Diana Vickers ponytail and the look would be complete.

DD said 'bet you don't tell mumsnet' so here I am.

DD just looked over my shoulder 'oh mum you are so sad' says she.

(She is now chortling at that)

You're so, like, NBU!

If it helps, my mom did something similar when I was a teenager and I lived it down eventually!

Not quite the same, but I wear selected items that mine have grown out of. It's worth buying them decent stuff now.

DD looked at me all curled lip - 'you will never get those jeans on'

Slammed the door in her face and squeezed the damn things on - shoehorned myself in them like Scarlett O'Hara in her corset.

when I took them off had patterns of rivets on my hips.

Honestly the things were rigid - I buy my jeans with a bit of stretch (oh how mumsy)

Does it all fit? That's something to be pleaed about

That's just showing off!

My DD is 14 and sometimes her stuff acidentally gets put away in my drawers after the wash - underwear usually. There is nothing more alarming then trying to force your way in to a pair of knickers first thing and thinking OMG I must have really put on weight.

Last week I was struggling in to a bra and thought I can hardly breathe in this - before checking the size.
