Better Together!

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

Whenever I see a girl hanging out with her friends, I’m always intrigued by what they’re wearing. Sometimes, they dress very similar to each other and sometimes, they’re completely different. I think it’s great when you’re with someone who appreciates fashion and share your passion for style! Here are some of my favorite shots of the fashion pack!I think it’s really endearing and sweet when girls hold hands!To be in a company of someone who loves to dress up and are comfortable in their skin is a great feeling!My sister and I are very different in our personalities and our sense of style. She’s very tomboyish and wears graphic tees, jeans, and generally don’t pay much attention to fashion. I, on the other hand, am completely in love with fashion and takes a while in the morning to figure out what I’m going to wear.

Do you and your friends/siblings have different style or do you guys have the same taste? You know, how some friends are so alike that they often have to call each other when they want to go out because they might be wearing the same dress? Or you never have to worry about it because you’re the only one who’s into fashion? I’d love to know! xoxoxoxoxxoo

    This post is lovely!
    My sister works with fashion, so she’s more “creative” on the way she dresses than me… And she takes a lot more risks too! But I love to go out with her! We always get noticed.LOL!

    Hi sweetie, That’s great you feel much better now:)
    Yes, I have a best best friend ~ we love fashion and have the similar fashion style. It’s amazing that I can find a friend to share the passion of fashion in the same way!
    Happy Wednesday!

    The black and white outfit in the first image is my favourite. And how stylish those two ladies in black and white dresses look! I have a very good friend with a very similar dressing style, we always like the same things, but never buy the exact same items (ok, one time we both fell in love with the same white winter coat and none of us wanted to let go, so we used to phone each other and check if the other one was going to wear it that day, especially that we were working in the same place at that time, lol). The rest of my friends, who are more or less into fashion, have different styles, there are other things we have in common. 🙂
    ps: the best of luck with your work situation! I know it’s difficult, but everything will work out for the best in the end. 🙂

    Argh, I can’t stand Olivia Palermo after watching The City!! Lol.
    I wish I had a close friend who was into fashion, but I really don’t. I have acquaintances but that just isn’t the same! 🙁

    Several times my Paris BFF and I have showed up in similar outfits, though not exactly the same since we both buy almost exclusively vintage stuff :). I love hanging out with others who have fun with their style!

    Great post! My friends and I have different styles.

  12. Dani says:

    My best friend like fashion too and we always talk about shopping 😛

  14. Love Olivia Palermo’s style. I’m more into fashion than my family and friends, so our style differs. It would be nice to have someone who is equally obsessed and who is your size – than you could share clothes! =)

    Celebrity Style and Fashion – Need it? Want it? Crave it?

  15. My BFF and I both adore fashion but have totally different taste – she idolises Gwen Stefani whereas I love Olivia Palermo’s style!

    what a cute post!! when i was in college my friends and i ALWAYS dressed alike… jeans and heels and a f21 tank for a night out at the bars or clubs (swapping jeans for shorts in the summertime). we even looked alike and often passed as sisters. we don’t live close enough to go out much anymore, and since i’ve started blogging my style has definitely changed a lot… i don’t think i dress like anyone anymore (except maybe other bloggers haha)! hope you’re having a better week, sweetie.

  17. Sarah says:

    NONE, and I repeat NONE of my friends are fashionably inclined so I definitely tend to stick out as the “crazy girl who likes fashion”, even though I don’t dress particularly crazy. My friends prefer sneakers, cotton t-shirts and jeans while I prefer…well anything BUT that combination! A couple of my male friends dress more punk-ish, but besides that most of my friends don’t pay much attention to fashion.

    i agree it’s interesting to see how friends dress next to each other. i’m really digging the brown pants in the last photo. xox

  20. Haha I love how you called them “fashion packs”

    I am so glad that I am not the only one who spies on groups of people to see what everyone is wearing!!! I find group fashion way more interesting than seeing a single person out by herself/himself.

  25. The first pair(the one with Olivia) is my fav! Those two look fabulous/stunning/sexy/amazing together!

    hugs and kisses by Mani.

  26. You are right it is really interesting how similar or differently friends dress. It is always so much fun to read your posts!!

  27. If I was out and about with my friend the second to the last photo of
    the girls in pants would most represent how we would look but I love
    all of the other images.

  28. Molliee says:

    love the girlies all looking fab together!!!

  29. My bestie and I have similar taste in clothes, but I find we style our outfits very differently. She’s more girly than I and more whimsical. I’m more monochromatic and tend to like more masculine pieces, plus I like to show a bit more skin (hehehe)..
    Thanks so much for your feedback! I love the first necklace too and the one I sent you… I actually wear it (the necklace I sent you) almost everyday and I’m so glad you wear it often as well! 🙂
    Lately, I have been doing a lot of soul-searching, so I have decided to scrap most of my new designs and go back to the drawing board. I want my pieces to have more of an impact, I want more of me in my designs… EEK! Soul-searching is scary!!!

    Have a great day Shin! Talk soon 🙂

    Love the patterns and lace outfits – cute

  31. Love this post! For the most part, all of my girlfriends also love fashion so it’s always exciting and fun to see what we’re all gonna pull out for a night out. I think it can be really empowering to surround yourself with girls who love to dress up…it also gives a healthy sense of competition so that you want to look your best too!

    My best friend and I have pretty similar taste when it comes to fashion, but I think I take more time in the morning to put my outfit together. It happened sometimes for both of us to buy the same piece of clothing and realizing it just afterwards. It’s quite cute actually 🙂
    And I really like the pictures you’ve chosen for this post.

  33. Susie Heymer says:

    Hi, Shin adorable! I loved your post today! I think really cool! As each person is dressed, the tastes! And most times friends are very similar, both in style of dress, is the things you enjoy doing. Everything is a matter of affinity is not it?!
    It’s very funny, when I was younger I was super metalhead and my childhood friend too! Today I have a totally different style of my friend! We just approaching affinities!
    I also have two sisters, the oldest is a more sporty and a little rocker and my younger sister who is a stylist has more style like mine, and when we borrowed the clothes of another, but in the end each one puts his touch is pretty cool.
    I loved the pictures you chose!
    Shin, are a very dear person that I love very much without knowing us personally! I feel as though they were friends long ago. It seems things from other lives! You can always count on me! Always! I hope one day we could be together in person to talk for hours!
    Have a wonderful day my dear friend and sweet!

    my sisters are so classic to dress, never take risks. good thing is that they have cultivated their own style, despite being a bit boring.

    Hi Sweetie!
    Thank you for your last comment:) Hope all goes well for you-just write down your goals and don’t be afraid to make few cups of tea;) as tea breakes the ice sometimes with people at work:)
    So true about having a friend who shares a passion for fashion:) I don’t have one but who knows-maybe one day:) I guess the reason is because I’m working in events. Love your fashion share! Olivia Palermo my favourite! xxx

    My sisters and I all have 15 years in between us so we’re all so different! But still have some similar tastes in fashion enough to love styles together. 🙂

  44. My friends tease me about being obsessed with fashion because no one else is as into as I am 😉

  45. alessandra says:

    I really love when the people that i hang out with dress up in a very cool way!! And i have just one friend that i have to ask what is she wearing cause we have some stuff that are exactly the same!! :S

    My brother and I grew up wearing JCrew, Brooks Brothers, and Lacoste. We were little prepster. I have now branched out a little, but I still come back to the classics. I think my brother has such a great sense of style, and what looks good on him. So in a sense, we have the same sense of preppy/classic style at heart.

  47. You’re lucky. I have always dreamed of having a sister. I am an only child and it really does suck sometimes. Most of my close girlfriends and I have similar fashion taste and like to shop at the same stores. So it makes shopping pretty easy and a lot of fun! I’m lucky in that respect, I guess.

  48. Lisa Maria says:

    That has to be one of my favorite things about people watching – seeing a gaggle of gals together and the common thread they have or don’t have in appearances. And I love friends holding hands! My sisters and I are so different looking and different in personality – and it shows in what we wear. One dresses very sexy/latin, another is bohemian, another is edgy and I’m mostly very girly. And I actually really love that about us.

  49. Emma Whyte says:

    Myself & all my friends have all got different styles which I love keeps things interesting & you can always pick up new ideas!
    I love the photo of Olivia & her bud stunning! x

  50. Deppa says:

    Oh yes! I have some friends that love fashion but nobody is crazy as me!
    ALso sometimes is complicated to see to many people wearing beautiful clothes, because I think tht I can’t focus my eyes just in one detail.. and then I feel sick (lol)

    I’m the only one in my real world who’s totally obsessed with fashion, so that is the main reason to have a blog “share my expriences” with another crazy girls 😉

    See you!

  51. This is such an interesting point you brought up my dear! These ladies look adorable together, and it really does seem to feel better when walking with a girlfriend that is at least dressed up to the same level as me. I went out with a girlfriend the other night and we had on very similar dresses but not exactly the same and it feels like it fits, you know? It’s kinda strange to be in heels when a friend is in sneakers or vice versa, haha. I’m just now starting to make more friends with girls who like to dress up like I do. I don’t have a sister… but it’s fun that my husband likes to dress up too!

    This is a fun post! I agree about friends holding hands (maybe to run across the street, etc). Very sweet. I think that while my friends are into fashion, everyone interprets it differently when it comes to themselves. For example, one of my friends and I are very similar when it comes to personal style. Often we end up buying the same pieces (if I’m lucky in different hues). Unfortunately we have a tendency to wear the same trench or something like that on the same day 🙁 On the other hand, we don’t agree upon every piece the other buys. Then I have another friend, who also buys the same pieces I do at times (less so than the first friend). But how she styles those pieces is COMPLETELY different from how I style them. She has a more.. busier sense of style than I. Still, regardless of our sense of style, it’s always nice for friends to look their best when getting together 😉

    Now I have a personal question, you mention you have a sister, I assume she lives with you? My question is, is your background the Philippines? I’ve been meaning to ask you for awhile. It’s just that I met a man at this hair and esthetics school, and he told me his two daughters live in Haiwaii. It would be SOOOOOOOOO weird if you were his daughter, but hey, doesn’t hurt to ask 😛

    Lastly, your boss is a horrid woman for treating you that way. It’s so disrespectful and rude. I really hope you find a different job because she seems like an absolute menace and the whole situation seems deplorable!

    Have a fantastic day tomorrow, and just remember, the long weekend is coming soon =)

  54. Jelena says:

    Hey my dear Shin hope u’re doing better these days!! Unfortunately with my moving around I don’t have the time to find my real “closet-soul mate”!:Dlol That’s why I have some real blog buddies (u’re among the first ones) with whom I share the same/similar fashion taste, so I don’t miss anything!:) Those are beautiful pics, I loveeeee the first one with O.P. Have a great day!!!
    kisses

  55. Heather says:

    Ugh I hate it when you see a bunch of girls all dressed the same! My friends and I all like fashion, but I’m proud to say that we each have our own unique style 🙂

  62. Olivia Palermo = LOVE

  63. Aya says:

    I wish I had more friends that appreciate fashion like I do! There are not many people like that here in my hometown. My sister (who is older than me) used to be very tomboyish as well, but she really got into fashion. We have similar tastes, but I always tell her whats in style & what’s not 🙂 great post! xoxo

  64. fascinating article! i am lucky to have quite a different style to my friends so don’t often end up wearing the same pieces!

  65. Oooh, I love this post, Shin! Very creative & thoughtful! Well, Mel and I have different styles too. While we have similar tastes, she’s definitely more preppy/uptown and I’m more downtown/boho.
    Happy early 4th of July!!

    I have some friends that dress differnetly and some like me, but we make a fab group together. Nice to read of your sister being so different from you!

  69. isabel says:

    my 2 girlfriends who i go out with all the time have such a different style than i do. its funny.

  70. Cinz says:

    hahahaha..same here! My sis and i got such different style and taste. I’m the girlie type and she is the more casual jeans and a top kinda girl and she hates shopping! She only goes in to buy what she wants whereas i will lose track of time and shop forever! I tried staying in H&M for 3 hours by myself once and of cuz i got myself some goodies, lol.

    I guess my style is similar to my friends but we don’t often but clothes from the same shop so we don’t tend to clash in outfits..THANK GOD!

    Anyway, have a great wkend ahead:D

    Oh, I love this post, I think it is so actual! I have sometimes difficulties with my friends because the have their own sense of style and can even say “why the heck are you wearing this old (aka vintage)shirt ?”. But well…I think lately it wasn’t so bad) I mean, we had this kind of “discussions” when we were younger.
