She has on my dress!

Nothing is more awkward than walking into a party and seeing another woman wearing your outfit. Here you are, thinking you are the finest thing walking this earth in your strapless mini, and another chick walks by wearing the same thing. Oh hell no! What to do? 

1. Don’t get mad at the other woman. You can only be mad at the circumstances. It’s just a coincidence, it’s not worth causing a hoopla over. You don’t even know each other, it’s a pure accident. Unless it’s a swagger jacker situation, in which case you would be within your rights to be annoyed. If this isn’t the case, just let it go. 

2. Accessorize, quick! Do you happen to have a mini jacket in the car? Throw it on over the dress. What about a pair of leggings? (It’s totally possible, women have all sorts of random things in our cars.) Pull your hair up, or let it down. Use anything at your disposal to differentiate the look from that of your copycat. 

3. Acknowledge it. You’re going to run into each other at some point. Or someone will eventually bring it up. Walk up to the other woman and say something like, “great minds think alike.” She may give you side eye, but it’s worth it to play it cool and smooth out the situation with wry humor. 

4. Don’t let it ruin your night. In the grand scheme of things, it’s not that big of a deal. Focus your energy on enjoying yourself. Make lemonade out of lemons. 

Has anything like this ever happened to you? How have you/would you deal with it?
