Definition of a 'Recessionista' : Someone who is determined to dress stylishly on a tight budget
Apparently the current financial crisis has seen the rise of the 'recessionista'! Women are refusing to curb their shopping habits and instead have decided to change the way that they do it. Here's my 5 top tips for shop-a-holics determined to defy the credit crunch:
1. Shop for classic items that are going to carry you through a few seasons rather than the latest
trends - quality over quantity!
2. Bag yourself some individuality aswell as 'timeless' bargains - the popularity of vintage
fashion is on the rise - charity shops & e-bay are a great starting point
3. DIY - There has been a noticeable surge in sewing machine sales as people are repairing and
redesigning their existing wardrobe
4. Swap shop, swap-a-rama...what ever you want to call it invite you girly friends around and
exchange your unwanted items
5. Accesorize it! invest in scarves,hats, jewellery & bags that will add style & panache' to even
the plainest of outfits
