Am I the only person who truly hates it when you buy something (fashion wise) and then someone you know buys the same thing after seeing yours?
I can't cope with it, I get so so territorial about my style, because I'm proud of it. I hate people copying me.
Is anyone else like that?

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
That said the people whose style most resembles my own, I only see 3 times a year, and my English friends adore the high-street stores, which I truly find disappointing.
Besides, clothes sell in bulk. Theres bound to be somebody, friend foe or neutral who wears the same exact thing as you. Its alright. You should think, hey, maybe I'm not as blind and ugly as I think... somebody else wears it too
It would only annoy me if someone copied my entire wardrobe, because then we'd look like twins.
I would be flattered if a friend tried to look like me. But i would be worried about them if they were trying to be me because they're insecure in themselves, and probably have a quiet word.
I don't like that either. But thats usually because she'll end up taking mine and then try to pass off thta it is hers when I quite clearly know that its mine
The combination of clothes you wear can be original, but the items themselves cannot be. I really do not like it when people try SO hard to be 'original' just be yourself, so what if someone else is wearing the same top.
Stealing my word, how dare you.
Its a good word, I"ll go steal it too
On a barely-related note, I lived with a girl in my first year at uni who used to steal my clothes though, and that pissed me off hugely since she'd appear on nights out in my stuff and the like. Bloody brass neck on that one. I shouldn't mention that though as I remember mentioning it on here once before though and getting a pasting because she apparently did it because of "low self-esteem" etc, ha ha
What REALLY gets my goat is when I mention that I like something and that I'm going to buy it - and then my best mate jumps in there before me. Even though she knows I'm going to buy it... it's like GRR.
A few years ago i had a friend who kept copying my style, but she was buying everything the same or similar. That got annoying, so i changed my style in the end cause i got bored. If its just the odd item then i don't care. Loads of other people buy them so why can't my friends?
And Glittery, I am copycatting you. It's because you are fab.
ETA - Ilora, are you trying to tell us (again) that you spend a lot of money on clothes and other fashion items?
Im not particularly territorial about my style. Ive got better things to worry about, and thats with not even having that much to worry about in the first place!
