Fashiorexia

Sometimes we know that we really shouldn't buy that pair of shoes or we really shouldn't have that last piece of chocolate cake. But would we really rather spend money on fashion and starve?? According to the latest results, 32% women would starve for fashion and over half of women are spending more of their hard earned cash on clothes and accessories than on food each month, with some 18% of women spending more than half their wages all in the pursuit of fashion.

This want for clothes over food has been termed 'fashioexia', with some women claiming it is necessary for them to fit into the items which they are buying. A study from http://www.mycelebrityfashion.co.uk/ of 4,315 women, shows that 34 per cent, spend between £100-150 on food per month whereas almost three quarters, 71 per cent, of 18-25 year old females spend more than £150 each month on clothing and accessories, of which 16 per cent spend more than half their wages on looking good. The biggest surprise is in the 31-40 year old category, where 21 per cent of women claimed to spend more than half of their wages on fashion, and 56 per cent admit to spending more on fashion than eating. Lets just say that's food for thought, or maybe not. (info courtesy of daily mail, image courtesy of http://files.blog-city.com/files/F06/156208/p/f/js4.jpg )
