Fashiorexia Quiz Diagnosis

1. You’re at the mall, it’s lunch time and you skipped breakfast. You only have 30 minutes till you have to be back at work and there is a fast food restaurant to your right and an H&M to your left. Which way do you go?
   1. Right because you’re famished and starting to get a little crusty.
   2. Left because there’s still a whole 30 minutes left to shop.
   3. Nowhere as you are about to collapse from having spent last night’s dinner money and this morning’s coffee money on the cute new boots that you’re wearing.

If you answered (a) then you’re what your parents, teachers and doctors would consider ‘normal’. If you answered (b), you are starting to display signs of Fashiorexia. Should you be worried? Depends who you ask, but just don’t ask me. If you answered (c) then you are hardcore and would make Kate Moss proud and the starving children in Africa and End World Poverty’s spokesperson Bono REALLY angry!

2. You’re having people over for your birthday and there isn’t anything worth serving in your fridge and your mom has just given you a birthday card with $500 in it. What do you do?
   1. Put it in the bank.
   2. Write up a list of appetizers and cocktail mixes to pick up for your guests.
   3. Write up a list of the cool new clothes they just got in at your favorite store.

If your answer was (a) then you’re a good girl—boring, but good. If your answer was (b) then I’d say your normal and your friends are lucky. If your answer was (c), then you’re a Fashiorexic so your friends will forgive you cuz’ it’s not you being a bad hostess, but rather a part of your disease.

3. On pay day, where do you go immediately after work?
   1. Home cuz you’re tired and it’s just like every other day.
   2. To pick up your groceries for the week.
   3. To the closest DKNY location.

If your answer was (a) then you are likely a senior citizen. Answering (b) makes you normal, I guess. And answering (c) means that you may want to consider talking to someone about these warning signs that you’re demonstrating.

4. You realize that you’re famished but spent all of your money while out shopping with the girls. You automatically think:
   1. I guess it’s time to dig through the cupboards and see what I’ve got to eat.
   2. Who can I borrow money from so I can eat?
   3. Oh well, now my ass will look even better in those jeans I got.
   4. Who can I borrow money from so I can buy more clothes to keep my mind off the fact that I am so hungry that my stomach is now eating itself??

Answering anything other than (a) or (b) makes you not only a Fashiorexic but a bit of a jerk too!

5. You just got a bonus at work and you want to celebrate. You:
   1. Pick up a bottle of wine and order in from that hot new Thai restaurant that your friends have been raving about.
   2. Hit the shops immediately.
   3. What? Sorry, I didn’t quite get the question; it’s a little hard to concentrate while trying on $500 shoes at Jimmy Choo.

After a long day at work (a) would probably make the most sense, but (b) ain’t so bad—it is a celebration of free money after all! As for (c) … tisk-tisk.

Bonus question

• Choose which list of priorities seems most accurate to you:
  1. #1 Food and water, #2 Love, #3 Clothes
  2. #1 Clothes, #2 Food and Water, #3 Love
  3. #1 Clothes … Do I need anything else??

This was just sort of a bonus question to help really hammer it home. Answering (a) would be best whether you’re a fashion junkie or not cuz you kinda need food and water to keep you healthy enough to get to the stores and love means someone to show off your cute outfits too and possibly even pay for them! Answering (b) just confirms that you are suffering from Fashiorexia while (c) makes it clear to me that you or not only suffering from Fashiorexia big time but that you are also far too hungry now to even think rationally! You’re one sick girl!!
