Only one-fifth of women consider themselves fashionable
Study finds low percentage of women classify themselves as fashion-savvy.
A new study reveals that not many women actually consider themselves fashionable. The research experiment, conducted by www.MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, polled more than 2,000 British women from ages 18-30 on topics including their shopping habits and opinions on their own style.
The results conclude that only 19 percent of women say would classify themselves as 'fashionable'.

The money spent on clothes could be put to better use, like savings and bills."

Six of the most annoying dress codes, decoded!
I’m all for people getting creative with their party décor, but not so much with their dress code description. (Unless, you know, it’s a theme party.) Island fancy, mountain chic, dress for the summer solstice (?!): these are all real dress decrees I’ve been given and all ones that immediately sent me into Gchat-polling madness to figure out what the hell the host was trying to tell me.
