10 Signs You Have a Serious Fashion Obsession

Fashion, to you, is more than the Webster's Dictionary definition: (n.) a prevailing custom or style of dress, etiquette, socializing, etc... No, to you, it is an addiction. Fashion is exciting. It's a way of life. It's a world that you have to be worthy of entering.

And rightly so. Fashion actually is more than the clothes you put on your body or the shoes on your feet. You've spent months — nay, years studying the world and have become familiar with the designers, the models and the critics in the industry.

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. Plus, playing with fashion is just plain fun.

But when does an interest in something become an obsession? I've put together a list of 10 signs you might be addicted to fashion. But tread lightly — even if you display the majority (if not all) of these traits, I am by no means asking you to change the way you are. Instead, wear your addiction proudly!
