Fluff: Have you ever gone to a wedding/party/shower...

I wore a dress to a wedding one time that was the exact same style as the bridesmaid dresses, but in a different color. They were sort of a business casual type of dress with a soft jacket, a common brand in places like Macy's.

Awkward!

Yes, at a wedding. The other person had good taste.

No, but it wouldn't bother me. I would be happy that I got something in style! With three kids, all my money goes to them, so I don't have any "cool" clothes.

Not a wedding or shower, but in grad school there was a guy in our lab who had the exact same shirt I did, and another colleague who had one really similar, and we'd co-ordinate who wore the shirt on which days because it was too awkward being matching.

The same thing happened in high school; two senior guys and I had the exact same shirt, so we'd wait to see who wore it first in the week and then one of us would wear it another day.

I just realized that I apparently wear the same shirts as guys. Hmm.

Almost. I was going to a shower with my SIL. We met for lunch and walked up wearing the same (very noticeable) skirt. It was AWKWARD! I came home and changed before we went to the shower. She didn't offer to change, and made me feel like it was my fault. Ugh.

We attended a wedding recently that required a nice dress. I had wanted to avoid black, and really liked a particular dress. I decided not to get it because it was taupe. I thought it might look too MOG. Guess who wore that dress? Saved by the old rule!

Mothers Day a couple of years ago. I bought a really cute dress at a really small out of the way store. Sure enough I walk into church and another gal is wearing the exact same dress.......and the same purse

I wore it better

No but I came really close to it. 

My son got married last month. I waited until about a month before the wedding to dress shop. My mom wanted me to help her with her dress too. 

I went to Nordestrom and made an appointment with a personal assistant. She was awesome! It made the process go smoothly and enjoyable. I don't love shopping, I don't have daughters and it was a busy time of year so I didn't feel like I had friends who would want to go. I needed input and perspective so I remembered hearing about this free service. 

I tried on aout 10 dresses that day. One dress looked great on my top half but was shorter than I like to go. So while I loved the dress I didn't want to be uncomfortable the whole night. I snapped a quick picture of part of it but knew unless it came in a longer version I wasn't going with it. My stylist called to see if it came longer. 

I ended up finding a dress before I left and loved it! They had to shop it from CA to my house and than I had to get it altered. 

When I arrived at the wedding I still had on comfy clothes as it was an hour before pictures and I was waiting a bit to fully get dressed. Everyone else was pretty much doing the same. 

Everyone is getting changed and getting ready for pictures and I see that dress and it was on my XDH wife. LOL 

She has much better legs than I do! 

I told her about it and we had a good laugh. 

We had never asked one another what the other was wearing and that never crossed our minds. We had a family dinner about a month before at my sons college graduation dinner we had the night before they graduated but I didn't even have my dress yet. 

Twice that I can recall. I had a dress in the 80's that was black and red plaid with big black buttons down the back and the neck was lower cut in the front. I always wear my clothes with the tag in the back which was in the back with the buttons. I was at a direct sales conference and walked into an event and there was a lady with the same exact dress, but the buttons were in the front! SHE had it on backwards!

Another time my sister met me for lunch at work and I arrive in the cafeteria and we are wearing the same outfit. That was one in a million because we normally don't have the same taste in clothing.

Senior Prom and 2oth HS Reunion. Almost to a pool party with a co-worker. Luckily we realized the day before we had bought the same bathing suit. 31 years later we still laugh about it.

Snorkeling in Punta Cana...woman with the exact same swim suit as I had. Two weeks ago, at our East Coast award ceremony, two women from different areas of the state showed up for the business formal in the same bright yellow suit. Today, my assistant and I had the exact same shoes on. Funnier yet, we both had brought a second pair of shoes to change in to, because we both found them uncomfortable. What did we bring for the change? Almost identical black strappy sandals.

No but my sister and I have similar taste and when we go shopping together we will often buy the same clothes, usually in different colors but not always. So when she is in town we have to discuss outfits so we don't wear the same thing. If we plan the same outfit, it's on me to change because she only packs a few clothes.
