How many of you have lent some clothes to your mates and had them back months later or with big cigarette burns on them? Well Paris has had enough of her mates taking the piss and has written to us to have a rant about it.
Hands off my things!

sometimes we gave each other them, without wanting them back. I give him a trouser and he gives me a trouser and a pullover.
That was really hip in our teens, especially because baggy pants looked cooler if they were worn and faded already.
also, why wouldnt you want them back? do you have skanky mates or something? or do they not wash them?
Nah, I just wouldn't wanna wear something they have wore. I'd never borrow any clothes off someone.
My clothes are like my signature.
People have borrowed CDs etc though, and one person in particular (coincidentally, the same one who lent me clothes
ETA: I forgot to add my point: I understand the topic is hear because the rant is (mainly?) about borrowing clothes, but clothes aren't the only thing to lend that can be damaged.
Oh for godness sake... :rolleyes:
that made me laugh loads, as did iloras post in the first place
Me and my friends lend clothes sometimes, not very often, and i get them back :thumb: One of my best friends and me have the exact same taste in clothes and stuff and theres loads of things that we like of each others clothes that we would borrow but shes a size 6/8 and im a 12, gutted hehe. We often find that we've bought the same or similiar stuff though.
Lend accessories quite a lot, like bags/beads/bracelets
Oh, and your original post was laced with tolerance wasn't it?!
Aren't you concerned at your lack of individual style?! :shocking:
maybe they just like a top you have, doesnt mean they dont know their own style, it just means they like a PART of yours
I'm Agreeing with you on this. :thumb:
My sister is a pain in the arse on the basis she'll single out the new expensive thing I;ve bought, beg to wear it, bitch if i say no, try it on, look better than me, then make spiteful comments all night if i wear it. Or spill alcohol on it if i do allow her to wear it. Bloody hate big sisters sometimes.
When I visit my parents I always raid my sisters closet when shes out. Pack less so I have room for her stuff. She usually figures out most of the things and I have to bring them back next time I visit, but I'm still in posession of a few. Its not fair though because my parents still buy her clothes, I'm just trying to get my dues
My flatmates and I use each other's wardrobes as often as we use our own; we mix and match one of our own tops with a scarf of someone else's, borrow each other's coats... sometimes one of us buys a dress they want to wear that night but don't have the right shoes to go with it so we'll wear each other's.... Why not? Why would you limit what you can wear to what you own yourself? As long as you trust each other to take care of the items (which, to be honest, if they're your friends then they will)
You buy clothes from shops, right? So that means other people have the same clothes as you, right? And WEAR them? What's the difference between that and lending a top to a mate? And that's STRANGERS, not even the people you care about. God forbid they steal your style.... Flipping hell.
I don't care if everyone else looks the same, I just wouldn't lend my clothes to people because I make a concerted effort to look different to the masses.
You can think what you like about how 'stuck up' that must make me. But to be frank I'd rather be stylish and stuck up than look like a sheep!!!!!!
I've seen your MySpace and you look like everyone else to me. Well, what I mean is that you don't particularly 'stand out' from the crowd.
i would willingly lend my friends my clothes but it's never really been something we've done!
otherwise other people are bound to have the same clothes as you
so not lending a mate a top because it's "your style" and you dont want them to nick it is pointless, they can just just go and buy it, but borrowing it saves them the money!
