In the world of fashion, being trendy is extremely important. And designer Diane von Furstenberg knows a thing or two when it comes to being trendy and in fashion. She did, after all, design the iconic wrap dress that revolutionized women's fashion in the early 1970s.

But then there are those select individuals who take trends to the extreme...to the point of overdoing it. In an interview with Harpers Bazaar, the House of DVF star mentioned that while she places great emphasis on style, she does draw a line when it comes to wearing something that doesn't match one's personal style.

"I don't like when women try to be something that they're not," she said. "I don't like anything that's forced."

Here are the 18 signs that you are obsessed with being trendy...

18. You wear non-prescription glasses.

For those us that have to wear glasses for our vision, this is an insult. You're really rubbing it in when you wear those super cute yet super fake aviator-style glasses that you bought on sale at American Apparel.

17. You over pack for everything.

If you're only going to be gone for a weekend, why on earth are you packing like you're moving? You must really enjoy paying those extra baggage fees at the airport.

Tumblr

16. You never leave the mall empty-handed.

We all have that friend—you know, the one who after you ask how her recent shopping trip went, responds," Oh, not that great. I only bought a few things."

Tumblr

15. You've tried every trend.

Bell-bottoms? Wearing them. Dubstep? Listening to it right now. Denim on denim? All day, every day!

Tumblr

14. Your pets are more famous than you.

Does your dog have its own Twitter account? Is your cat an Internet celebrity with its own fan base? Yep, you're too trendy.

Tumblr

13. You're always on the hunt for something new.

You're constantly bored and on the lookout for new styles, and you go to the chiropractor for neck issues related to your aggressive people-watching behavior.

Tumblr

12. You get spray tans religiously, even in the winter.

You think you look like you just returned from the beaches of St. Tropez, but in reality you resemble an Oompa Loompa. Sorry, but orange is not the new black.

Tumblr

11. Everyone at the mall knows you on a first name basis.

The mall is literally your second home. The lady at Macy's is like your second aunt, the store assistant at Zara is your gay bestie...

Tumblr

10. You smoke because you think it looks chic.

You don't actually like smoking. You just like how it looks. You're going for that Kate Moss circa 1990s (the Johnny Depp years) look.

Tumblr

9. Shopping is a war and the mall is your battlefield.

 God have mercy on the woman who gets in your way during a sample sale or Black Friday!

Tumblr

8. You'll go to the extreme to imitate your favorite celeb.

When people finally stop your favorite celebrity in the street and ask them if they're you, then your life goal will have been achieved.

Tumblr

7. The total value of your clothing is equivalent to a down payment on a house.

Sure, you could have done plenty of other things with all of your hard-earned money (like buy a house or go to graduate school), but clothes are more important because you wear them every single day! This is about survival...

Tumblr

6. You get upset when others "just don't get it."

If your BFF doesn't know the difference between empire-waist and drop-waist skirts, you're really going to have to rethink the entire friendship.

Tumblr

5. You buy clothes for style, not comfort.

Your main concern is looking good. Forget the fact that you can't move (or breathe) in your latest outfit.

Tumblr

4. You're extremely critical of others.

You feel a sense of pride when you can call out someone on their poor fashion decisions. You're like the common man's Tim Gunn. Except that you're not on TV or a certified fashion expert.

Tumblr

3. You're so trendy it's exhausting.

After those late nights of picking outfits and mornings spent thinking up new trends, you barely have time to breathe. Being this fashionable comes with a price.

Tumblr

2. You don't act your age.

If you have kids, you should not be dressing or acting like them. And just because the '60s/'70s/'80s were amazing doesn't mean that you have to try and bring them back.

Tumblr

1. You overdo it.

When you choose to get on board with a trend, you go all in. No ands, ifs, or buts!
