Let’s talk about a little shopping dilemma I hear all the time:
"I love this, but what if my friend/neighbor buys it too?"
I get it. We all want our own look, our own style. But what if we flipped the script? Instead of worrying about matching, what if we saw it as a sign of great taste, shared confidence, and even a little fun?
I’ll never forget this one moment in high school—my best friend and I had described our prom dresses to each other in detail. We were both so excited to see what the other had chosen. And when we finally walked in… we had bought the exact same dress.
At first, we were shocked. If we had shopped together, we probably wouldn’t have picked the same one. But instead of feeling awkward, we loved it. It was this unexpected moment of deeper connection. And the best part? We each styled it completely differently, making it our own.
And that’s the thing—even when you and a friend wear the same piece, you’ll never wear it the same way.
We’re all built differently. We accessorize differently. We carry things differently. And honestly? Instead of worrying about matching, let’s celebrate the fact that we have women in our circles who love the same effortlessly beautiful style.
A New Way to See It
If you’ve ever hesitated on buying something just because a friend might have it too, here’s a new way to think about it:
✔️ Matching doesn’t mean identical—it means you both have amazing taste.
✔️ You’ll always put your own spin on it—because style is personal.
✔️ Instead of seeing it as a problem, see it as a compliment. If someone else chooses the same piece, take it as a sign that you both know a great look when you see one.
So let’s drop the fear, let go of comparison (because we all know that’s the real thief of joy), and just wear what we love.Show up. Match, don’t match—but whatever you do, live beautifully.
And if you ever do find yourself twinning with someone? Just smile and say…
“I cYou style sister!”
Because in the end, style isn’t about being the only one wearing it—it’s about how you wear it and enjoying the ones you are with.
✨ Living beautifully, one look at a time. ✨
