We all know that one person who is always on top of the latest trends, styling the cutest clothes and making sure you know they’re no force to mess with when it comes to shopping. 8/10 of those people are probably fashion majors, and 10/10 people would agree that you should probably make other plans when they ask you to go the mall because once the credit card comes out, you’re never leaving. In this case, that person is my best friend and throughout our friendship, I’ve probably reached the borderline of being obsessed, if not completely exceeded it and now call myself a shopping freak. Here are 10 things that happen when your BFF Is a shopaholic:
1. You get jealous.
She always seems to have something new in her closet, and sometimes it's something that you wanted, but she got it first (but at least you'll get to borrow it).
2. You have the same wardrobe.
You end up buying the clothes that you’ve wanted, but since she bought them first, you both have the same cute sweater. Now you have to coordinate outfits so you’re not wearing the same thing. Hashtag NOT twinning.
3. YOU become a shopaholic.
In the beginning, she dragged you to the mall and you saw a few things you liked here and there, but now its come to the point where you have to take out of your savings to buy the entire building.
4. Whenever you hang out together, you always end up shopping somehow.
You originally planned on going out to eat, and then staying in to save money, but you figure that since the store is on the way back home, it doesn’t hurt to look.
5. You both low-key laugh at each other when complaining about money.
When she texts you a really cute pair of shoes that you also like, but complains about having no money, you’re secretly relieved that she won’t get to have them for a while.
6. You have an endless amount of clothes to borrow from each other.
If you’re ever feeling a different style that you don’t have, your best friend just coincidentally has the look you’re trying to go for.
7. You both buy cute clothes, so naturally you have to have a photo shoot.

8. There’s always that one piece of clothing that you buy that channels your inner Harry Styles.
If you’re looking for a metrosexual look, who better to get inspiration from then Harry Styles, a God given soul sent from the fairy dust in heaven. But, that’s a whole different subject.
9. Your text messages are mostly pictures from the dressing room with “do you like this?”
Gretchen Weiners is spot on when she advises us not to “buy a skirt without asking your friends first if it looks good on you.”
10. After everything, you still complain about having no clothes.
At this point, you just need rehab.
