Fashion is more than the clothes you put on your body or the shoes on your feet. If you’re anything like me, you’ve spent months – nay, YEARS studying the world and have become familiar with the designers, the models and the critics in the industry. You subscribe to the “required reading” list… Vogue, W, Elle and Harper’s Bazaar.
Not only do you have the knowledge, but you understand fashion as a form of self-identity. There’s not a better way to show what mood you’re in on a given day, what interests you, or how you would put together an ensemble. To you, fashion is more than just what you wear, it’s everything, and you never leave your house without a perfectly styled #OOTD (outfit of the day).
Yes, us fashion-fanatics stalk our favorite bloggers’, stylists’, and designers’ Instagram feeds like it’s our job, but sometimes, being a fan can swiftly escalate to a full-blown addiction before you know it. Here’s a small list to know if you have an “issue.”
