Too much alike

I am finding it a little too eerie how similar Alyssa and myself are.  She has my drive, ambition, and competitiveness.  What I didn't expect is how much we dress alike.  My parents used to always wear the same color of shirts by accident.  Mom would get dressed, go to work wearing a plum colored color sweater and my dad would be wearing a plum colored shirt.  That happened several times a week.  I always thought it was because they had been married for so long (over 40 years now).

Alyssa and I try to work out every day for at least 30 minutes.  We will either go to the gym to do cardio and weights or we go for a hike.  We have pink, black, teal, lime green, black,. white, zebra print, orange, and brown workout outfits.  You would think that their was enough things that we would never be wearing the same colored outfit.  At least 5 times a week we will wear the same colors or the same style of clothes (like the same work out skirts). I will be getting ready and then look at Alyssa and she is wearing the same color of outfit as I am.  It looks like we planned it but we never do.  A lot of times we will even do our hair the same.


I am wondering has anyone else had similar experience?

  1. My daughter and I bought the same sweater - about a week apart - same store - different state. Yeah, I get that.

  2. A couple times my daughter and I have showed up in really similar colors but it's been mostly black so not sure that counts. There has been times where we don't match at all.
