    Default ridiculous situation--what would you do?

    There's a girl at my club, not sure how long she's been there, but up until recently we only ran into each other occasionally. In the past few weeks though, we've started working most of the same shifts. Here's the ridiculous part.

    We pretty much have the same wardrobe. One night I was wearing a black dress with two o-rings and a deep drape-neck slashed to the waist. I was walking downstairs as she was walking upstairs, and we both had a "wtf?" moment b/c she was wearing the exact same dress, but in white.

    The next day I had on a plain white tube dress with slits up the sides...and she had on the exact same thing in black.

    Same deal with a purple-and-black arabian costume that I had bought for a theme set--she's got a similar outfit (but in solid purple).

    There's one dress that we have that's not only similar, it's the *exact same* champagne-colored dress with cut-out sides, glittery gold patterns on the fabric and a ring attaching the top to the skirt part. oy vey.

    Having one dress that's similar, or even the same dress, isn't unusual or a big deal...and personally I don't really care if someone else is walking around the club
    wearing the same dress as me. The club's big enough for both of us IMHO.

    But we seem to have completely near-identical work wardrobes I haven't worn the champagne dress since I started at this club over half a year ago, since I found out that she had the exact same very-distinctive dress and it was pretty much her "trademark" costume. But fuck, now I feel like I wasted $60 on a gorgeous dress that's just sitting in my locker getting no use. And on NYE we both ended up in the o-ring dresses and were working the floor in them all night....and while that didn't bother ME, I felt pretty damn awkward, wondering if the whole situation is pissing HER off.

    Maybe I'm overthinking this. But I don't want to buy more dresses--I like the ones I have, I picked styles/colours that flatter my body and complexion, and at $40-$80 a piece I really don't want to replace them. I also don't want to be stuck wearing the *one* dress that she doesn't have anything like, for every shift I work with her--which lately has been almost every night.

    WTF are the chances of working with someone where you both have 5 outfits and 4 of them are the exact same dresses!? And to make things even more weird, we look similar physically--similar hair colour and length, skin tone, build, even similar makeup (loads of black smoky liner and dark purple shadow). During the past few weeks I've tried changing something up so we didn't look exactly the same--wearing my hair curly, wearing boots instead of the same black shoes, trying dark lipstick....but still.


    Has anyone else ever had this happen? what would you do in this situation? Part of me thinks it's pretty damn funny, but the other part just feels awkward.

    You are overthinking it. These outfits are mass produced. Wear your outfits, rock them like you know you can and you'll stand out weather or not she's matching you!

    Yeah, buying completely new outfits would be over the top.
    When I was like 7, my etiquette coach told me that the appropriate thing to do when one showed up at an event wearing the same dress as someone else was to simply congratulate them on their fabulous style and move on. If the two of you haven't had a chat yet, you could do something of the sort, talk about how bizarre it is, but then just return to your old wardrobe. Wearing the similar outfits on the same day could be confusing or problematic, so you could make an attempt to not match, but otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it.

    Maybe she's stalking you? She likes you so much that she had to run out and purchase your whole wardrobe and copy your style. LOL

    Personally, I might bring it up to her and see what she thinks. Maybe there can be a bit of a solution. Or just wear a different outfit (like when you see her wearing the gold one, put the black one on, etc).

    I don't know how it works there, but in a lot of clubs in LA when girls wear the same outfit, the one who had worked at that club the longest got to wear it and the other girl had to change. Girls here will talk so much shit about you if you're even wearing the same color.

    I say if you're not getting weirdo psycho vibes to double team the guys.

    Or just to talk with her and be like-- hey, is it okay if I just wear whatever without checking with you and vice versa? I don't care-- this seems to be an accident, and I just want to make sure you don't care either.

    Yeah, PanDah has a really good suggestion. That is sooo odd though. I've seen girls with a mtching outfit or two, but that is a bit ridiculous!

    Who cares? Just don't think about it and go make some money.

    yeah I have a lot of generic type outfits and a lot of girls have them. I f someone else wore the same one or something similar *I* would not care, but now reading this I wonder if anyone has ever cared or changed their outfit bc of mine. I doubt it bc if you are keeping busy they shouldnt even see both of you in the same outfit. My opinion is either forget about it and stop worrying, or to play it up and work with this girl.
