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 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.
