They obviously admire your fashion sense....be flattered! I am sure you pride yourself on being unique and having your own flair. Try taking them shopping for clothing and make-up. It is your creativity that sets you apart, they may not have any and you are leading by example. Give them ideas of things they can do to vamp their fashion dilemmas. Really encourage them to step outside YOUR box. Lots of compliments when they do set themselves apart from you....alot of praise for being unique. Good Luck!

Encourage them to "Be" themselves!
When you are at their house, try to help them "pick-out" an outfit from their closet, that doesn't look like anything that you are wearing! Then tell them; "They look good in that outfit!"
When you have Helped 'Em "pick-out" an outfit, then try to Help 'Em "put-on" their faces(make-up)!
Make it "a game" for all of you, while you are doing it; like "playing-girls" and dressing your Dolls, so they think it is FUN!
I know that I'm a Man trying to tell You-Girls how to be "Coy" with your friends, but I do have experience in "Raising" Daughters! Been there; seen that!
When they see how much you like how they "dress" different from you, and you don't mind, they won't feel like you won't be their friend, so they'll feel comfortable wearing a different "out-fit" than you...
Good Luck, and have Fun showing them how to be different from you!

Make comments in front of them about other people that aren't like you... so they see you think others are great as themselves. Maybe they just think you'll accept them better if they are like you. Hey at least you have some friends that think you're cool:)

Either you have all the boys and there trying to a piece of the action or they look up to you and will follow your lead. If it's because of the boys their using you and if it's because they look up to you, talk to them about being themselves.

Just tell them you don't want them to be like you. You want them to be themselves.

Don't flatter yourself. Who's to say you aren't imitating THEM ?? Continue to be friends and remember this very important thought: YOU cannot change anyone but yourself.

Maybe ask them "what's up?" Or tell them how much you miss how things use to be.Good Luck!

They are copying your "look" because they admire you. You might suggest that their "look" was better the way it was, (to each of them).

Why not be happy that they actually look up to you?
