Catechism d’couture Put on your ‘thinking fascinators’—it’s our 16th Fashion Quiz!
’T
is that time of year again where we ďŹ nd ourselves scrambling around to complete everything on our to-do lists. With countless hours spent at holiday events, perhaps eating and drinking a little too much, long lines at the post ofďŹ ce, and a constant checking of our bank account balance—well, don’t you feel you deserve a break? You need a little diversion! So pour yourself a glass of wine or break off a piece of candy from that gingerbread house you put together so beautifully and ďŹ nd a cozy place to sit down and test your fashion smarts in our 16th annual Fashion Quiz. I hope you’ve been keeping up with more than the Kardashians. You’re going to need to pull from your magazines, online fashion blogs and perhaps even the NBC Nightly News to get the right answers this year. You know the drill: Score two points for each correct answer, with 24 points being the perfect score. If you score 18-24 points, go out and treat yourself to a piece of reasonable couture at your local discount retailer. If your score is 10-16 points, I’m guessing fashion isn’t your biggest interest, but with some remedial work you can change that! Score 2-8 points and I’ll understand you’ve been getting your fashion advice from Santa who wears the same thing year-round and doesn’t have Internet access. Score 0 points and I’m guessing you’re wearing something that is so three decades ago that you don’t really care how the world sees you. That’s OK. Fashion evolves. It’ll be there for you when you’re ready for it. Now let’s get started! O O O O
