Dear Girlfriends –

Going from a fashionista to a recessionista!  Well its no different in the fashion industry and a fashionistas got to know how to keep on looking fly even with the pocket crunch all around.

Many of us have been recessionistas from ever since but if you’re new to the “bargain hunt” or are looking for a few new ways to save a penny or two then listen up while I share a few of my ideas.

• One of my favorites is to shop at bargain stores and affordable shopping events. Hey don’t knock it till you try it, there are some REAL bargains to be had there, all you have to do is sift through the racks to find some true gems and basic pieces. If you’re in town this weekend, I recommend a stroll through the Ultimate Fashionista Flea Market happening on Saturday July 25th from 10:00am-3:00pm.    The ultimate shopping experience wants you!  Come out to see and buy amazing pieces from the closets of fabulous fashionistas keeping you on budget.  The event features new, trendy, hip, vintage and stylish pieces including shoes, jeans, belts, jewelry, handbags, dresses, blouses, accessories and more.  And the good thing is there is something for everyone – all sizes and styles.  As a part of the shopping experience there will be a Makeup Bar featuring professional makeup services.

  All fashionistas have become “recessionistas” – following their “passion for fashion” but doing so within the constraints of the current economy.  On Saturday, you never know what you may find and it may be only one chance to get a new and affordable addition to your closet!

 

The Ultimate Fashionista Flea Market … an open-air shopping experience on Saturday July 25th 10:00am-3:00pm at the James Madison Middle School in Upper Marlboro, Maryland 20772    (off Route 4/MD-223 Exit)

Until the next style adventure,

Monica
