The Fashiorectic’s Quiz
How to know if you have fashiorexia or just poor money management skills
- 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?
- Right because you’re famished and starting to get a little crusty.
- Left because there’s still a whole 30 minutes left to shop.
- 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.
