Fashionista=Affordable Chic; Style Mavens on a Budget
So it seems as if the word “Recessionista” is a term that we cannot…and will not escape. It’s an expression that you can find in TV commercials and newspaper articles. Most likely, this term has debuted or even has its own section in your favorite fashion blog and magazine. A label that was originally assigned to the “wallet-watching ,money saving but still want to be fly in an unstable economy”-shopper, the term was right on time when it made it’s debut last year during the peak of our country’s economic crisis. For some of us who were on a tight budget before this economic downturn…it’s a great word for how we’ve already been shopping (or living…since the words are interchangeable.) Everyone is now on our level…and we have the luxury of being able to stick to our fashion diets while others are just getting started. So…from the runway to 5th avenue to Target…we can all get our fashion on. Just one more thing….we only need one word for this, I mean, we all get it. Frugalista, Cheapalista…we only need one “ista” and Recessionista was first. So to all of you who want to jump on the word maker-upper bandwagon…Let’s leave well enough alone before it gets too crazy. Thanks.
*STYLISM…shopping helps the economy so go stimulate!
