I am the admitted fashion plate in the family. I’ve always been complimented on my sense of style and attention to detail.
I admit I don’t necessarily know how this makes the other girls in the family feel, but for sure my fam isn’t the type to put us against each other!
I attended an event recently and received many compliments from head to toe- hair style down to my heels. And I was the only woman present rocking a particular jewel tone, so I stood out even more. However, everyone looked great! What I wore just popped against the crowd.
That being said, my mom called me laughing (and this is some mean-girl ish I am not trying to adopt from her) because apparently a relative attended an event this weekend and her mom sent pictures to the other elders about her great her daughter looked…
She copied my look from the hair (slightly different, but same effect), dress color, accessories and GotDAMN shoe color and design! Like, wtf?
My mom and I have our issues, which I’ve noted here before, but she definitely takes pride in my looks and style.
So she said the minute she saw the picture she had to call me because it was so obvious.
For a little backstory, this is the daughter of the relative who told my mother to tell me that my looks wouldn’t last forever
. So that makes it a little funnier.
This topic is for ladies and gents because it happens to us all:
How do y’all handle people copying your style? I don’t want to have to purposely stunt at events to
1- ensure I’m not being copied or
2- see if my look gets copied again.
I guess what I’m saying is… B__h stole my look and I feel a way!
I curate my ensembles to evoke a particular response and Ionno how I feel about someone copying me. Feels like theft.
But I also know how trivial this may sound beyond the undergrad years (because there were definitely arguments about stuff like this back then
)
Copied me down to the shoe style and heel length.
And no, Coli, no pictures will be included.

my mom said to take it as flattery.
Those who imitated you show you the utmost appreciation.
while knowing deep down that you're internally like 
is something ill never explain.
