are you drawn to other women who

[birkbop]

have the same sense of style of you?

just curious to see if you tend to befriend ladies who have the same affinity for s&b as yourself...

[anaps28]

My close circle of friends all have their own unique styles but we all love and appreciate fashion.

[bethaboo]

A few of my friends are really into fashion, but our styles are pretty different. We can appreciate each others' style and have a few of the same pieces in our wardrobes, but it is definitely executed differently.

[NachoProblem]

Some of my friends have a similar style as mine and some are VERY different. I think part of it has to do with body shape and what looks good on them would look terrible on me and vice versa.

[birkbop]

I ask because one of my dearest friends hates, hates, HATES all things fashion related. She would rather walk over hot coals than run to the mall with me... we joke about it all the time but it boggles my mind and I give her a hard time for being a girl and not liking to shop. The other lady in our fabulous trio is a style lover so I can get my fix with her thankfully.

[treedimensional]

No. Most of my friends are women who just happened to be there. I met them at work or in my neighborhood, and they don't share my fashion style at all.

[sasky]

Not at all. If anything I seek out friends who dress like crap to make myself look better when I'm standing next to them.

Not really - the women I work with are into fashion/makeup, because we work in television and of course looking nice is part of the job.

As far as my "real" (not work) friends, I'd have to say I'm the most into S&B (which isn't saying much). My SIL is pretty fashionable, we both love makeup, nail polish, and clothes shopping.

My two best friends though, not so much. They both have young children are kind of in that "I'm a mom and am too tired/don't have time to care" rut. They'll get dressed up for events, but day to day they dress very plain, no makeup, etc. I see my one friend the most often and sometimes I just want to tell her JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE A MOM DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO LOOK BAD! But that would be really mean of me, and since I don't have children what do I know? Maybe if I have kids I would care less what I looked like, too. But I don't think that just because you have children you have to look frumpy.

I have some friends that are sorta into it, and like to shop and whatnot, but of all my friends, I think I'm the only one that's quite so into it. I mean, I'm pretty sure none of my friends spend an unnecessary amount of time on a style and beauty message board soooo....

I'm with Birk! Not having :drink: doesn't make you the odd one.

My friends that I grew up with are all S&B obsessed and we met in nursery school. Our styles are different, but we'd all take shopping and drinks over anything. Even my newer friends, creative friends, and guy friends are obsessed. The guys crack me up since they try to act like they aren't trying. It's just ended up that way. DH is the only one that isn't and that's even changing.

[fashionx]

My friends vary in their interest I guess, but they all love clothes, shopping, and style to at least some degree. I have trouble relating to girls who just don't care about it at all though. Our actual styles may be different, but that's ok.

DH doesn't care about clothes much at all, but he does like good shoes. He dresses nice for work and if we go out, but the rest of the time he wears the same old stuff. I'm ok with this though if it means I can spend more on me. lol

[315bride]

I have such a wide range of friends. Everyone from nerds who couldn't put together an outfit if their life depended on it to women who are makeup artists and at one point did some modeling.

[misshark122]

Not ones that have the SAME sense of style, but some sense of style, yes!

[bloomies22]

Some of my closest friends love fashion - but our styles are all definitely different, one is really into girly feminine stuff (lots of pink, lace, etc) , one is more of a self proclaimed label whore (not plastered all over the clothes but she only really buys known higher end labels, no H&M, target, etc) and one is boho. I'm probably the most eclectic/into trends.

Some of my friends could care less about clothes too.

[adhdfashion]

Nope, I'm drawn to women with strong sense of their own style. My BFF and I are poplar opposites on the fashion front.

[mrsacornblue]

It depends. My BF and I have similar fashion sense (classic with some trendy stuff) but I am WAY more into jewelry, bags and makeup than she is. We do share a love of saving money but spending on quality pieces. My other friends sort of run the gammet.

[mrspost08]

I am probably the most daring with fashion in my group of friends. My friends like nice clothes, but they are pretty safe fashion wise.

[mayflowers22]

Nope. Most of my friends dress different than me.
