I find it flattering...but I also find it very annoying...After spending time coming up with my own style and look, I find it frustrating to see friends of mine trying to imitate me
I don't like complete imitation, it bothers me. However, I don't have a problem with a look inspired by someone else, but you need to make it your own.
I think it's a little bit flattering and annoying at the same time. It's nice that someone admires you enough to copy you but it's like, ugh why! If you really like the piece then it's okay
because I know I wouldn't want someone to yell at me thinking i'm copying them for picking up the same sweater. I always add my own flair to things anyway so it doesn't really matter in my
case. But you know!
I think it depends on how far it's taken... pieces copied... well that's flattery... imitating personality or idiocyncracies... that's just a little weird! Copying a whole outfit of a
friend... that's just a tad annoying and odd. Even then I probably wouldn't get mad, I might have a quiet word or two!
Annoying! I try hard to shop for great finds and scour the city for little unknown boutiques just so I'm not wearing the exact same thing as everyone else. In the end, it is flattering that
people like what you wear/own, but I've had friends who say oh, I love your bag, where's it from? And the next week, there they are carrying the exact same thing! Instead of feeling like it's
a compliment, I'm just downright annoyed.
It's not flattering as much as it is funny to me. I laugh when I see someone who recreates something I've done. I can see where it can get a little out of control if the whole damn outfit
including hairstyle was the same, but in the end, who the eff cares, because I rocked the outfit soooooo much better
go ahead, try to look like me, that's fine...it's just...i really dislike when people use the same perfume. haha, probably because i just don't want them to smell better than i do when i'm
wearing it!
Personally, I think it depends on how closely you're copied. If a friend of mine has something that I find too incredible to resist, I will always ask for her blessing before I go purchase
it.
If someone's trying to copy me - well then they need a lot of luck. I buy a lot of indie designers' originals and shop a lot of vintage stores. There is practically zero chance that anyone is
EVER going to come up exactly the look that I put together.
It depends on how far it's taken. If someone asks you where you bought something and a few days later you see that person with that particularly item, I feel flattered. But if someone
completely copies your style or starts acting exactly the way you do, then it's annoying!
It's really annoying I'm the oldest of 3 kids, and my younger brother and sister would copy me all the time when I was younger so I can't stand when someone does it now. I had a friend who
always wanted to copy whatever I wore and she didn't understand why I was bothered by it. Hello, I put a lot of effort in expressing myself with my style. She should have done the same.
I find it hard not to be flattered when somebody rocks a piece of your look but I don't want anybody walkin' around lookin' like my twin when I know a was born without one! That's when it is
irritating/annoying.
Both....when our senior class was personalizing our class rings in college, this girl was lined up behind me, and she was legendary for trying to be a leader but was actually a total poser
and follower. While everyone got their initials or first and last names on their rings, I decided on my first and middle names. Of course, what does the girl behind me do, but the same thing
as me! I was a little flattered, but I should have called her out on that.
Depends ... I mean, if it's Single White Female'ish (GMTA there DivaBunny!!), then Hell yeS!! But, if it's small things here and there ... then it's kinda like someone's started a fad.
i think it all depends on how far it's taken... it can be quite flattering though
with me, i really don't mind if someone does just as long as she's cool and not someone i dislike
it's definitely flattering to know that someone admires your style, but it would get VERY annoying if they have your whole wardrobe and hairstyle...there's only supposed to me one of you lol
I don't mind sharing ideas or products with people, but to see them do it all the time would get lame....

Singer and actress Selena Gomez posed for pictures at the 2009 American Music Awards with a pretty pink smile on her face. She took advantage of the occasion and went glam; wearing a Talbot Runhof sequin dress with black strappy heels.
yes, but its annoying and can be a littel creepy.
1Sasha and Gemma are bizarrely similar.
Imitation is very very annoying. And yes ZC. It can be very very creepy.
2it's annoying, creepy and unoriginal while completely lacking one's own creativity.
3no
4I find it flattering...but I also find it very annoying...After spending time coming up with my own style and look, I find it frustrating to see friends of mine trying to imitate me
5yea but it depends on how far it's taken

7ANNOYING!!!
8Little things are OK, but if a friend goes out and buys the same clothes that you own (which has happened to me!!), THEN yes it gets creepy!

13It's just annoying! I feel excited and special when I'm rocking a neat outfit. If somebody tries to copy it, it's not so special anymore.
14go ahead, try to look like me, that's fine...it's just...i really dislike when people use the same perfume. haha, probably because i just don't want them to smell better than i do when i'm wearing it!

16I think it is unless you start getting plastic surgery to look like that person. But as far as emulating how they dress, I think it's harmless.
17if it's your friend, i think it's nice, but if it's someone you don't know or it's a weird aquaintence, then it's annoying.
18Yes, thats what they say but I always thought it was annoying.

23creepy... anyone remember "single white female" movie???
24Depends ... I mean, if it's Single White Female'ish (GMTA there DivaBunny!!), then Hell yeS!! But, if it's small things here and there ... then it's kinda like someone's started a fad.
25I still think Gemma is prettier than Sasha!
It's annoying but to an extent it's ok.
26It depends on how far it is taken.
27No
28it all depends on how far it's taken
29i think it all depends on how far it's taken... it can be quite flattering though
with me, i really don't mind if someone does just as long as she's cool and not someone i dislike
30no it's annoying, but in the case of your picture, I like both Sasha and Gemma - but i think Sasha has a stronger face and I prefer her.
31it's definitely flattering to know that someone admires your style, but it would get VERY annoying if they have your whole wardrobe and hairstyle...there's only supposed to me one of you lol
