Clothes you've bought then spotted a celebrity wearing

What items have you bought that you've then spotted on a sleb? Was it somebody fashionable or a saddo?

I bought a dress from oasis to wear to a wedding. Then spotted on Gillian mckeith. Needless to say, it went straight to the charity shop.

A work top spotted on Sonia Jackson and Tracey Barlow (the characters not the actresses). Couldn't wear it knowing that I had the same clothes as frumpy Sonia.

I went to the cinema to see one of the Harry Potter films. Hermione was wearing the exact same Howies jumper that I was sitting the wearing. Ron was wearing the same top that one of our friends sitting with us was wearing!!!

I have also seen a girl wearing not one but two of my coats on Hollyoaks.

I have the same necklace as Fiona Bruce! It is a star shaped pendant with diamonds.

I have good & bad.... I shall leave it up to you to decide which is which Wink

Tulisa wearing the Vivienne Westwood "Friday Dress".

Helena Christiansen wearing Matthew Williamson for H&M parrot dress.

Both of which reside in my wardrobe.

I wear tunic dresses quite a lot and have seen Sarah Millican wearing the same ones. I always think "do I look like that in mine?" in all honesty I probably do Sad

Oh god ruby, not Tess Daly Shock. I used to think that only an affair with the head of wardrobe's husband would explain her clothes. Did you burn it?

LauraShigihara · 20/01/2013 11:47

Back in the early eighties, I bought a lovely fringed, expensive, Flapper-style dress that I save hard for. To my absolute delight, the girls from The Human League wore the same dress on TOTP a couple of weeks later. One wore my black version, the other the white one. I bloody loved the Human league from then on...

I love that Issa dress, it is just the sort of thing that I like. Couldn't ever wear it now of course.

scripsi · 20/01/2013 13:21

I know Trills it is even more beautiful in the flesh. Perhaps get a very, very different colour?

MaureenShit · 20/01/2013 13:21

im entertained people buy " going away " dresses these days

ChristianGreyIsAJackass · 20/01/2013 13:23

I had a lovely coat from warehouse years ago and saw that blonde woman from footballers wives wearing it... the nasty one... she has been in a few things since then, name escapes me!

rockinastocking · 20/01/2013 13:24

Not read whole thread, but I used to have a Boden habit until I saw half my wardrobe featuring in the first series of Miranda.

Love her, but my style icon she ain't.

Help the Aged had a field day Blush

Sarah Millican has my M&S dress and wore it in her first tv series, although she also wore trousers underneath it

AmberNectarine · 20/01/2013 21:35

Oh my god, so we can call Peter Andre a greasy emotional abuser, but I can't be honest about other celebs?!

scarlet76 · 21/01/2013 00:55

I had a French Connection Jersey dress that pippa middleton was papped wearing. I am no fan and so I then hocked it on ebay for a ridiculous amount.

Prforone · 21/01/2013 01:17

Saw a young presenter on Milkshake wearing an Oasis t-shirt I own a few weeks back. Which made me think maybe I'm dressing too young for my age Confused

But then, last week, Abi from Eastenders was wearing the same Florence & Fred jumper as me. Not so sure on that one whether I'm dressing like mutton, or Eastenders are making Abi look like an old frump!

gobacktoyourplaypenbaby · 21/01/2013 07:19

I got a silver and black skirt from topshop, wore it to the work xmas party then a couple of weeks later spotted it on Viv from emmerdale! It was never worn again!! Blush

Nivet · 21/01/2013 07:23

Caroline bloody Quentin wore my coat in her shit documentary about Cornwall.

ShotgunNotDoingThePans · 21/01/2013 07:35

I saw a Boden cropped cardi of mine on Phoebe from 'Friends.' Was a swirly Paisley design and I loved it - put weight on so it's consigned to the loft now, waiting for me to shrink has been for four years.

I also once saw a Jigsaw jacket on What Not To Wear - it was one of the newly-bought things, I hasten to add Smile.

monkeysmama · 21/01/2013 09:30

Eastenders characters keeping wearing things I have. Sharon had my jacket on the other day and twice Bianca has worn things I have. That's pretty bad.

gobacktoyourplaypenbaby · 21/01/2013 09:42

monkeysmama Not that silver puffa jacket? (Keeps fingers closed thats a 'no') Wink
