This is clearly a conversational peice. As you can see, while exploring the wonderful world of Moschino and couture booties…I stumbled upon this number…should that be plural? Numbers? Ok. Well. What we have here is a gold, strappy sandal/dressy shoe attached to it’s alter-ego like a siamesse twin….or parasite….whichever way you choose to interpret this particular situation. My biggest question here is…would you even wear the same outfit with a gold strappy heel that you would with a suede, zip up bootie? I guess you would just have to try it on. And for a mere $819.00, you can do just that. I just have one request…please, please upload pics so we can see!!

I totally have to brag about this score I made today at yes…Marshalls.  Here I stood, in the 8 1/2 section shoe row in Marshalls at Bailey’s Crossroads in Fairfax, VA with a brand new pair of Steven by Steve Madden boots with a price tag of $29.99.When I looked down at the price-tag, I thought to myself, someone must have…had to have…tagged these riding boots wrong. Without further a-do..or questions, comments, or thoughts, I proceded straight to the check-out line and out the door with my precious new found treasure.  And trust Honey, they were on my feet within the hour.

Yay!!!!!!!!! Sorry, it’s hard to contain the excitement of saving $100 on boots that are still currently in stock at Nordstrom’s…at full price might I add.

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!
