So fun! I loved the observation buried in the middle of the article, something like "this may seem totally intuitive, but fashion is a gazillion-dollar-a-year business and it's kind of amazing that nobody has done an actual study about it before." LOL

There may not be many studies of style or fashion, which I suspect is highly influenced by time and place, but there are gazillions of studies on shopping, which, if we are honest, is where the money is.

Fashion Ninja is an awesome term.

I wonder where the findings of the study put all of the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s - in terms of matchy matchy. I totally think of those decades as the "matched set" decades.

Like! Don't be frump, yet don't be too matchy-matchy. I wonder how one can imagine the outfits from the research images. It seems so difficult to evaluate from those stylized soulless drawings!
