oh man
the problem everyone comes in contact with
there are somany answers I can give yet they could be all wrong depending on your situation but I'll give you some tips anyway
talk to her full on... the straight out truth... may hurt but it will end up helping... be nice by saying you should have your own unique style
hang out with people she doesn't know more often
it'll slowly push her away so she'll hang out with others and learn to be her own person
that doesn't mean stop bein her friend
over react about little things she does to copy you
if you stress so much about it maybe shell get the point if she stresses about it
go to the mall and buy nothing just ask her what she likes and have her try on things - that will be the most indirect subtle way
maybe these'll help

The friend you're are referring to has a classic low self-esteem problem. Just ask her (tactfully), "Have you noticed that we end up doing the same things alot?" If that doesn't get the point across, try jumping off a cliff. You'll be guaranteed she won't follow suit! Just kidding! Good luck!

Tell her the truth, that's all you can do. If she gets angry, so be it. Doesn't it make you angry when she copies you? There's no easy way to tell someone they aren't an original but it's something that has to be done. Let her know it bothers you and let her know why. If she still continues to copy you, find yourself a new friend.

I asked 2 questions just like this! One just now and one a couple month ago! I know it bugs the HECK outta me too! Start making her make some descisions and have her be more comfterable with her on thoughts and ideas. She has to develope new interests.

Send her an e-mail....but not about how her copying you makes you crazy.
The e-mail should let her know that she's not being the person she's supposed to be. She's doing herself a disservice because she's a great person but nobody will ever know that as long as she tries to be you.
It may not help but it can't hurt.

Flip the switch. Ask her for her opinion and her ideas. Get her to make a decision. Empower her for a time. It is likely that she is without direction and initiative. Challenge her with a project.

Trust me I know how that feels my friend does the same thing.
So what you do is when she does were things you don't have then complement her no matter how bad it looks because if they coppy you that means they like your style. Really you shoud be proud to have someone coppy you no matter how bothering they get
