something borrowed
Not originally yours
Something borrowed refers to an item lent to a bride on her wedding day, part of the traditional rhyme "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." The borrowed object—often jewelry or a handkerchief from a happily married friend or relative—symbolically brings good luck and continuity: She wore her mother's pearls as her something borrowed.
