How to Be a Recessionista…
If you’ve been living under a rock for the past 8 years, you wouldn’t know that this Nation has been hit with the hardest of economic times since the Great Depression…Thank you Bush Administration!Whether you were directly or indirectly affected by the recession, IT IS HERE. So how does one stay on top of their vogue game during these times? I’ll tell you how…it’s all about becoming a true ‘Recessionista.’
What’s In Vogue is being able to be fabulous without breaking your bank. Being an Adult is all about prioritizing your responsibilities and still being able to look good doing so.
There are just too many options and means to maintain a fresh look while the company you work for is going through their second merger.
This Recession has its’ pros and cons, but from a budget standpoint, we can benefit from this. Everyone loves a SALE, right? If you are not taking advantage of the 50% – 70% off sales, you’re not living. I mean some of these sales are downright robbery, especially if you’re looking in the right places.
I’m not endorsing any stores or giving out coupons today but know YES, YOU CAN BE CHEAP & CHIC!
It’s not all about designer labels but how much you actually pay for something. When someone tells me how much they paid for something and it’s supposed to seem impressive, I look at them like a deer in headlights. Just because you have it doesn’t mean you should spend all of it on one item (financial responsibility is another topic).
I love shopping on a budget, period. My clothes are of quality and I purchase with the intention to have them or awhile…that’s one thing I pride myself on, never following fashion, but being a trendsetter where it counts and that means not compromising rent, groceries, or bills to upkeep my fabulousity.
