My female friends say nothing is more embarrassing than walking into a room or social gathering, and noticing someone else wearing the exact same outfit as you. Personally, in those situations I’d compliment someone for their exceptional fashion taste.
However, while in my apartment elevator I had the most inconceivable, and stupefying, event of my life.
On my way to work, I frequent crowded elevators. And those cramped, tight spaces leave little room to avoid awkward situations, which are common in New York.
So, I get in the elevator to go to work… It stops on the 4th floor and a gentleman steps in. He’s dressed in a blue button shirt, khaki trousers, and brown shoes and a belt.
Funny, I’m wearing the same thing… Oh well, chalk one up for coincidence.
The elevator starts moving again, but stops on the 2nd floor.
Second guy walks in; making three in total, and (Yep, you guessed it) in a blue button shirt, khaki trousers, and brown shoes and a belt.
As the three of us exited the elevator, a young woman carrying a Bichon Frise did a double take as if we were a “triple feature.”
It was too much!
Part 2 – Lunch Time
Apparently, I was unaware of the city-wide e-mail that was sent out. It seems as though today was blue-button-shirt-khaki-trousers-brown-shoes-and-belt day, today. I swear every other guy was wearing the same thing!
my friends at work and i used to plan to wear the same outfits and then act like we did it on accident and chalked it up to, like you said, “having great fashion sense.”
yeahhh we thought we were funny.
