Halloween Recession

It it what happens a few days after Halloween. After all the good candy is gone. You have gone from eating Snickers and Kit Kats to Smarties and Jolly Ranchers. When this happens..you have a Halloween Recession on your hands.

The Halloween Recession has hit at our house. We are down to the hard candies and dums dums.

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.

The daughter of an infamous wall street mogel that lost everything in his court battle due to his criminal dealings, dressed as a recessionista while looking for a new place to stay and a job.

Recessionista

"A former fashionista on this new quest for fine items at an affordable cost." Mary Hall author of The Recessionista Blog, http://therecessionista.blogspot.com/

The Recessionista madly clipped coupons in order to purchase a fashionable item at an fab-u-less price.

The Recessionista searched like Ulysses on the voyage of the Odyssey for a $9.00 bottle of Pinot Noir wine.
