Blog We Love: I Like Looking Like Other People

Blog: I Like Looking Like Other People

About the blogger: Kevin Maguire is according to his Twitter profile a ‘planner at glue, geek everywhere else.’

What is it about? A photo blog of people who have, mostly unknowingly, dressed the same way as someone else. Or as they prefer to describe it: ‘that awkward moment at work when you realise you're wearing pretty much the same thing as someone else.’

Why do we love it? We've all been there, so it's good to know this also happens to other people. You can either pretend to ignore it and spend the day trying to stay as far away from that person as possible, or you can embrace it with open arms and a camera, as many of these people have done. In fact I’d go as far as to say that some of these have been  set up. Still, it's easy to pick out the real embarrassments. They’re the ones where one person looks happy because they’ve dressed the same as the office trendy, and the other person has a look that says ‘I’m never wearing this top again.’

Work jumpers post

Awkward? Just a tad. Not only are they wearing the same jumper, they also part their hair the same way, smile the same and pose the same. It’s like a snapshot from Single White Female.

Che Guevara T-shirt post

These two are ready to go to blows over this T-shirt. They both clearly think they’re cool (most people who wear Che Guervara tend to) but they didn’t anticipate anyone else being as cool as them. Fight!
