Apparently, according to Sweets.if.only.I.was.gay, wearing the same outfit, or having the same outfit/shoes with family and friends is gay.
I make my chachi buy the same clothes as me, two fold, 1) she sometimes wear aunty clothes, 2) I like it when we are matchy matchy.
My sisters and I all have at least 2 outfits the same and I buy us the same shoes sometimes.
I make my cousin buy his wife the same shoes as me cos she’s so cute and she loves my shoes and I want her to have them too. My cousin, the boy, loves shoes too so it’s all good.
Do youse think it’s gay?
Would you be annoyed if someone had the same same stuff as you?
It really doesnt bother me. I encourage it.
When I was living out at uni, my cousin would buy the same thing as me without knowing I had it. She would get annoyed, and I never understood why, im wearing it in my city and you are wearing it it yours and I didnt know you had it and STFU.
I buy my sister the stuff I buy for myself ALL the time. Since we don't look alike at all, I don't think anyone notices and even if they did, I don't care. If it looks good, it looks good.
My other best frand and I would find we had completely independently bought the same thing. After undergrad, we stopped seeing each other so often (so never any shopping together) and our styles are completely different, yet we'd still find we'd have clothing items in common.
The only thing that pisses me off is when someone says they don't like XYZ and then they go and get the same thing.

YES! Most of my friends and cousins HATE my bubblegum smelling shoes cos they think they are 'Barbie' shoes (which by the way is awesome cos Barbie is a ledge!) but they all love wanting to try them on and ask me where to get them from and how much they are, blah blah blah. I only told my cousin, the boy, cos only his wife deserves them cos she appreciates that they are made from recyclable material.
My twin nephews dont wear the same thing anymore as they are ‘big boys’ now and I miss it. I loved that I couldnt tell the difference between them. We used to play guessing games and they would trickies us. FUN.
Also im talking about 21 yo twins. not little girls who are going througj a phase of everything two
at 21 u would expect to have diff tastes or want to look a little diff.
I have a matchy-matchy story! Except it's not about clothes, it's about a car.
So Friend A had to buy a new car and Friend B knew Friend A needed to buy a new car and that she wanted to buy Car X. Friend B goes out and buys Car X first, calls up Friend A and says, "OMG, I got a great deal on Car X, you should buy it too, but they only have it in colour C at the dealer" (Friend B bought it in colour D, which Friend A also wanted).
Friend A is annoyed, but eventually says, to heck with it, I'm going to buy Car X and get it in Colour D. So what if we have the exact same car (they socialize a lot together).
Funny enough, it turns out that 4 other moms with kids going to the same school who obviously live in the same neighbourhood bought Car X in Colour D - now all the moms are matchy-matchy :D
i want to buy same stuff for my sister but she doesn;t like matchy matchy :( too bad i have to leave all the good things for her and always have to settle down for other colors/designs that i less like :(
i hate it when i have the same clothes as my sister or bhabhis and they wear theirs first or often to a family dawats. By the time I wear mine for the first time (since I hardly do wear desi clothes) it looks old.
Grrr.
Other than that, I dont mind if we have the same Western clothes.
My sisters and i have completely different tastes. If we get the same thing it looks different on all of us, but we never really get the same thing. I dont care if someone has the same outfit as me, but I don't like it when someone copycats you on purpose.
I think it looks really nice when people wear matching clothes at weddings or functions. Shows the closeness of the family. My SIL and I grew up doing it.
Nowadays when I get wedding clothes made from Pakistan, my Phopho will automatically make something in the same colours for my younger cousins and little sister to wear so we are coordinated but not exactly the same.
