It starts out innocently enough you buy a pair of Four star jeans, now you rationalize that these are a bit more costly than the Two star, but not as expensive as the Six-star jeans. Still feeling guilty you stash them in a dark lit corner of your closet, hoping to forget the guilt of a remorseful shopper.
The first special occasion comes around and you have instant recall you head right to those jeans like a guided heat seeking missile. You put them on and then realize how they make you feel. At that moment the "buyer's remorse" has now been purged completely. But soon you're no longer wearing them just for special occasions, it's for everyday and those poor jeans need a toss in the wash but what will you wear?
So you say to yourself" I can probably get another pair" but soon you get one more and then it's another, then it gets to a point were there just doesn't seem to be enough in your wardrobe. You do more self- justification; Seven days in a week I could get one for each day. That works for a bit and then it's 30 days in a month and soon you have spun out of control.
Now you need to take inventory and ask yourself Remember you need to be truthful are you a trend-setter or a trend follower. Do you feel comfortable in your own skin wearing acceptable mainstream fashion or need to make a statement in your own clothes. Do you look for other people to tell you that you look like a post card for always wearing the same thing your favorite jeans?
Below are symptoms of a fashion addict
1.) You find excuses to always wear the same apparel
2.) You've forgotten about your not so fashion conscious friends
3.) You feel guilty after you spend 200.00 dollars or more on a pair of jeans
4.) Nothing else matters but wearing your premium denim
5.) Do you find yourself looking for loose change in between the pillows of your couch?
Or worse in between the pillows of your friends couches?
6.) You can't wait till you get that next fashion fix.
7.) You spend more time online shopping at your favorite online boutique than with real work
8.) The excuse of " I can't afford them" becomes " I can't afford not to have them"
