You and your BFF are practically the same person so why wouldn't you have the same taste in clothes? But don't you hate it when she call dibs on the best bits of Topshop new-in before you've even had a chance to click through? Well let's hear it for today's GOOD NEWS then - you can totally just both buy the things you love, because hey, you're gonna style them up differently anyway...

Here's how it works taking three statement pieces:
**The Winter Pastel Skirt
**
Pastels aren't just for winter - take a look at Burberry's powdery collection for AW14, or Fendi's macaron-coloured coats if you want proof. Run with the pretty pastel vibes of a feminine pink skirt or contrast it with print and sport pieces and the final looks will be miles apart.
Fishtail skirt, £25 Warehouse, cropped floral shirt, £13 ASOS, platform plimsolls, £32 River Island, blue glitter jumper, £60 Cheap Monday, large strap sandals, £230 Bimba Y Lola
**The Trainers You Can Wear With Everything
**
If you want to make trainers work for everything other than the gym, opt for a bright pair of neon Nikes. These ones work whether you're the type of girl who pretties them up with florals or uses them to add an extra layer of interest to out-there separates.
Nike Air trainers, £105 Nike, tassel skirt, £245 Folk, navy sweatshirt, £105 Sunspel, floral dress, £35 River Island
**The Statement Rip Jean
**
Ok, so we slightly cheated here. But if you're both into the trend for statement ripped jeans, which if we didn't love enough already, Marques Almeida have got us really giddy over lately, one way to avoid looking too matchy matchy is to persuade your mate to get them in a different colour way. A surefire way to Wayne & Garth coolness.
UNIF Twerk jeans, £105 Urban Outfitters, Garland Girls T-shirt, £80 House of Holland, Lykke Li loafers, £125 & Other Stories, Aran jumper, £250 Sunspel, two-part sole shoes, £30 River Island
