Re: mother in laws common sense?
You know, I used to think “I can never wear what others give me, its just not my taste” but…with time I’ve kind of mellowed out about it, if it really makes someone happy that I wear this…I’ll do that once in a while..its not a big deal. When once I never felt guilty about regifting (bad I know!) now I kind of do.
anyways, to answer your question, for an every day thing or going out once in a while…no it doesn’t hurt to wear what someone else gave you. I’ve worn the outfits that my MIL gave me even though I would never have chosen them myself. (not that I felt it affected the relationship for better or worse).
Now they’re sitting in a suitcase because I intend to “fix” them when i go to Pakistan…change the laces, add some pattis to make it longer (they were stitched a few years ago when short shirts were still in fashion)…so Its the perfect reason to put em away
