...Before I drift off to sleep....My 13 year old daughter just found out our shoes sizes are the same now...and came back with my most expensive pair of shoes wanting to borrow them...luckily she was willing to pick a different pair for school tomorrow...do you see where this is going? Ah they grow up too fast!

Welcome to my world! I have had to put my foot down on my more expensive items!

I remember borrowing my mom's clothes. I have 2 sons so it's hard to relate. I don't imagine I'd want to share.

Oh what fun I have to look forward to! My budding stylist already borrows scarfs but she and my niece are only a half shoe size behind me. My niece is happy recipient of any flats that are too tight for me though!

I cannot share clothes with my or my sister because we are not the same size but even when I was a teen, I could never borrow clothes or shoes from my mom or my sister. We all have different sized feet and different body shapes. I did always dream of being able to share with my sister though, imagine the possibilities... *sigh*

Oh this is a slippery slope !!! Of course they always go for the most precious stuff. My DD ( who just turned 9 ) starting taking a great interest in my jewelry when she was about 4. She has cooled off from it a little. I don't think that I will let her borrow things when she is older...but who knows. It depends on how respectful and responsible she is.

LOL! Lock that closet door, quick-fast!

To Christieanne's story, I'll confess I was that lucky niece myself! My mum's sister had this *penchant* for buying new shoes every couple of months... that were too small for her. Like two sizes too small! I never had to buy sandals and slip-ons all through high school. Just needed an annual pair of pumps and the mary janes and white tennis sneakers for school uniforms!

Wowzers! I'd want to wear those beauties to school, too!

Time to find a good hiding place!

I remember those days. I think I was around 11 or 12 when I passed up my mom in shoe size; she's a 6.5/7 and I'm 8/8.5. She was very generous about letting me borrow clothes when I lived at home, though.

Also, those shoes are super cute!

I think she will outgrow me quickly...I assume feet keep growing past this age? So I guess I can enjoy it while it lasts...I can borrow her coming converse!

LOL I remember when my niece walked through our front door and told me she was now the same shoe size as me. It was the added " where do you keep you good shoe's" that floored me! I have never let on that they are boxed up and well out of sight!!

My daughter and I wear the same size now, which is fun. She has the most beautiful gold ballet flats... oh wait, they used to be mine!

They actually look much cuter on her than they do on me, and since she has fewer pairs of shoes than I do (nyah, nyah), they're getting more use than if I'd kept them.

Luckily for me, she's much smaller than I am from the feet up. Plus I'm not sure she'd wear my stuff anyway, although she was mightily pleased when I finally caved and bought skinny jeans. (I bought them principally to have something to wear that wouldn't embarrass her when I take her and her friends to the mall, but now I kind of like them when I wear a more voluminous top.)

I'm such a drip that I borrowed some clothes from my mom when I went to my first sort-of grown-up teenaged party. What were those clothes? Oh, just a totally awesome matched set of OLIVE GREEN... CORDUROY... BLAZER and *CULOTTES*. Exactly what all the cool kids were wearing. I think I've come a little way in terms of style since then, but my daughter would still never want to borrow my actual clothes. Just the one pair of shoes...

Thank goodness I have a boy:)

My older daughter is only a half size smaller than me and not really into fashion.
I keep several pairs of my shoes in her wardrobe and 'pretend' that they are actually 'hers'!
This way I can say that I don't have (too) many shoes.

I have 2 sons so no relations here but it does bring back memories from when I was a teen! I had a go in my mom wardrobe because we were the same size but alas - my feet were bigger than hers from age 14 so no shoe sharing... My 15-year old niece has 1 size bigger feet than my sister too.
Which may give you some hope Jayne in the shoe department in the close future

Fun times ahead. LOL My niece and I were the same size for a while and would want to buy the same things when shopping. We had a few tops that we "shared".
