[RESULTS]

Mostly As: You own your clothes. You are practical, organized. You are in control of your spending habits, and your wardrobe shows it – classic, timeless pieces that you purchase based on what you need and what fits you. While you are in control, you can also be predictable, reserved, and to a point of being boring and rigid at times. It wouldn’t hurt to let your inner creativity and spontaneity out once in a while.

Mostly Bs: Inspiration is important to you: you look to inspire others and be inspired by what you wear. People tend to remember what you wear as you leave a lasting first impression. Your wardrobe has many trendy, one-off pieces but it probably has more than you ever need: space constraints and finding clothes might be an issue for you. If you don’t have a tight rein on your spending however, chances are, you would tend to overspend on clothes.

Mostly Cs: Your personal expression is important to you – you wear your heart on your sleeve. You wouldn’t mind splurging and indulging on something that fits you and your preferences. Your clothes make you stand out from the crowd, but it may not always be appropriate for the occasion or your wallet.

Mostly Ds: When it comes to clothes, you tend to stick to what you are comfortable with, tried-and-tested. You come across as a person who doesn’t care much about your physical appearance as you are often preoccupied elsewhere. While others could admire the fact that you are comfortable in your own skin, investing some time and energy on self-care and how you look can go some way in taking care of yourself.
