recessionista

A person with such innate sense of fashion that can they can endure times of burden and misfortune as in a poor economy and still keep on looking their best with extraordinary style. A recessionista never allows a recession or a poor economy to impair their wardrobe so they become creative when shopping on a budget and sometimes even make their own unique fashion from scratch or old clothing and manage to remain in the style of the current fashion trends
as they do so.
