When two closets become one

There is nothing better than a best friend that has similar dimensions and the same style sense, because inevitably two closets become one. Jamie Trumper’s and Coral Treamer’s wardrobes are interchangeable. The best friends meet three years ago at a bonfire in Ocean Beach. They have been inseparable, and sharing clothes, ever since.

“Everything I am wearing is Coral’s,” Trumper tells me. “The jacket, the shirt, the shoes, the shorts, all of it.”

Teamer interrupts, “That t-shirt she is wearing is from the first concert I ever went to. I was three. My parents took me to a KISS concert and I was terrified. They flew around the stage and had blood coming out of their mouths. I was screaming my head off. Anyway, I repurposed that t- shirt.”

“And now I’m wearing it,” laughs Trumper.

Treamer works at South Coast Surf Shop in Ocean beach while Trumper is a fulltime student at Grossmont College. “In five years I would like to be in the real estate industry,” says Trumper, whose hair was recently dyed purple.

“She changes it like every other week,” adds Treamer.

“It’s been pink, blue, and black. I like dark brown or black the best because it goes with everything,” says Trumper.

Treamer wore a thrifted oxblood skirt paired with a velvet crop top. Her purse was borrowed from Trumper. Her black goth-inspired hat was purchased online.

“We love to go thrifitng. Our favorites are Buffalo Exchange, which has newer stuff, and Flashbacks, which is mostly vintage,” says Treamer.
