Loving fashion myself, I realize it's quite easy to become addicted acquiring new, beautiful items to add to my ever growing collection.

However, there comes a time one has to call a spade, a spade or in our case, admit to slight (or serious) addictions.


1. You would buy anything just because it's on sale

Even the Jimmy Choo shoes with the chipped heel you'd probably never fix but hey! One can never have too many shoes, right? Unless your closet has reached bursting point, which leads us to...


2. An alarming increasing rate of "no closet-space " complaints
Granted, it could be a really small closet but still. Your friends are probably tired of hearing it. The solution is quite simple actually. You either:

a. Get a bigger closet, probably by expansion.

b. Stop. Buying. So. Many. Clothing. Items!

 

3. You're constantly buying gifts for people.

Perfectly fine unless it's a story your sticking with just because your conscience is calling you out. If you usually end up keeping them for yourself? No. Just no.
Although, I won't mind. Especially if I actually RECEIVE my gift ; )

4. You remember that dress you would have bought (if only you hadn't forgotten your wallet when you were going for a stroll) 10 years ago.

We all have those things that we remember sadly because we didn't get to buy them. However, if you remember them for way too long, I believe there might be a problem.


5. You are attached to all the stuff you've ever bought.
You remember every single item you've ever bought, the dates they were bought, what store and so on. Yikes! At this point it might be critical. I'd advise you get unattached though. I mean, what happens if everything gets burnt to ashes?


6. You spend about 70% of your allowance/salary on fashion items.
Well, this happens to even the most frugal of us. We'll give you a pass because while we know this is a problem, it's actually a general problem that even non-addicts have.



7. You have a particular dress in about oh, let's say, 8 colours.
If you have found yourself saying "One in every colour you have please!" with every intention of buying all of those dresses, we rest our case. *dusts hands*


8. When shopping becomes your Tylenol, Paracetamol or for some (a.k.a, me), your ice cream.
It's fine to use shopping to make yourself feel better but not every single time. Watch a movie, pray, talk to a friend or eat something if you're feeling down for once! Your pockets (and wardrobe!) would thank you later.


So tell me, on a scale of one to ten, how addicted are you?

I think I'm a five.

YOUR TURN!

 Nah! I'mma just memorize all the elements of the outfit and repeat it on a more significant day!
 I tried coming up with a name for this but failed woefully. Who can come up with an EPIC name? It should probably end with "phobia", let me know in the comments section.

For me, it's like tame or edgy. I pick tame, then pick edgy instead.

source

For real!


source

Then I am definitely becoming a minimalist.

source

Very relatable. I'm like "I'm buying that dress for my beloved friend." Then I end up keeping it for myself.



source

I'm sorry but... Primary goal- Fight off cold.



source

Looking down on people because you feel them fashionably (or otherwise) beneath you is never right. Never.

source

That's how a male friend said to me "Wow! she's not wearing makeup and looks this good?"

Me: *Eyes her smokey eye, perfectly drawn brows and nude lipstick *

Right... *nods sarcastically*


source

Best believe.

source

Straight up!



source

#HellYes!

source

More like "fake it till you make it"

source

Yasss! Tired of the whole "___ is the new black" trend. There is no new black. Class will always be in vogue.



source

That's me. Every. Single. Time.
 

source

In my case, "Fabric" could easily be replaced by funky bohemian jewellry, blazers and maxis!
 

source

Someone once said "If the designer wanted you to wear the dress that way, he/she would have designed it exactly so."

Me: I own the dress, the dress doesn't own me. Therefore, I wear it how I want to.

*Drops mic*



source

It's all about originality and individual style.

No comment necessary.

Because #YOLO (You Only Live Once)


source

Sad? Shop till you drop. You probably won't be able to stop smiling while staring at your brand new pair of shoes you bought at an epic discount.


source

 Refer to number 4.



source

Enough said.

source

Very silly indeed.

source

Me: Why thank you, me! How did I know that I would love these shoes so much?

 

source

Like!!! I still remember a pair of electric blue pointy-toed flats I didn't buy in 2012. It haunts me.
 And that's it people! I plan to do this once every month but that'll will depend on if you like it.
