FACEBOOK is literally ruining my life.

OK, that was a little melodramatic. But it is literally ruining my wardrobe.

The popularity of digital cameras means that there's rarely a night out with your friends that isn't captured on film.

And with everybody uploading their pictures on Facebook left, right and centre, it's like having your entire range of clothing displayed to anyone and everyone at all times.

So while wearing the same top on two consecutive nights out (providing you're in different company) used to be a shortcut to summoning the energy to think of something else to wear, all of a sudden it has become a no-no.

I've fallen foul of this new fashion faux pas plenty of times already.

I cringe when I look at pictures of myself on Facebook wearing the same red dress on a dozen occasions in just a couple of months.

It looks like I'm wearing it so often I'm sure some of my mates think it's become attached to my body.

Some people are already one up from me.

I know a girl who, upon deciding what she's wearing that weekend, sifts through every photo of her on Facebook removing any shots of her in the said outfit.

Now that's dedication.

Facebook is great for some things — checking out if your ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend is prettier than you, laughing at photos of your colleagues out-of-hours, judging people for poor use of grammar... and I know it's not just me that eavesdrops on wall-to-wall conversations between people they don't really know that well.

I'm sure someone with a degree in psychology or sociology could explain better than me why this is so fascinating, but it just is.

The flipside, however, is that Facebook brings out the worst in all of us.

The mildly curious become outright stalkers, the envious become green-eyed-monsters and I've heard tales of jealous boyfriends going berserk when another man has "poked" their girlfriend.

Of course the logical action to take would be to just stop using Facebook — cancel my account and go back to actually speaking to my mates, rather than typing them messages.

But don't be silly, as if I'm going to do that. I'll just have to buy more clothes.
