FASHIONISTA'S AND THE RECESSION

RECESSION...OH THAT UGLY WORD...IF YOU TURN ON THE TELEVISION ALL YOU SEE AND HEAR ABOUT IS THE RECESSION THIS COUNTRY IS GOING THROUGH..THIS IS A TOTALLY DOWNER FOR ANYONE WHO LIKES TO SHOP..OR IS IT?..IN THE FEB.2009 ISSUE OF GLAMOUR IN A RELATED ARTICLE TO THIS, TAHIRA K. HIRA, Ph.D, (A PERSONAL FINANCE PROFESS. AT IOWA STATE)STATED AND I QUOTE " WOMAN HANDLE 83% OF THE COUNTRY'S CONSUMER SPENDING, WHICH MAKES UP 70% OF OUR ECONOMY"...CHEERS TO US...SORRY TO GO ALL SERIOUS WITH YOU FOR A MOMENT, BUT I THOUGHT THIS FACT WOULD DRIVE MY POINT HOME..FOLLOWING ME LOVES..SO WHAT THIS MEANS TO US FASHIONISTA'S IS WE HAVE THE POWER TO TURN THIS AROUND AND MAKE OUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE ECONOMY...I DONT SUGGEST WE GO SHOPPING AND MAX OUT ARE CREDIT CARDS (BAD IDEA), BUT I DO SAY INDUGLE YOURSELF...BUY THOSE SHOES OR HANDBAG YOU HAVE BEEN DROOLING OVER...EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS..YOU SEE WE ARE THE LITTLE PEOPLE, BUT THE BIG STORES NEED US..THEY ARE ACTUALLY DEPENDING ON US...US THE FASHIONISTA'S...IMAGINE THAT!!!....
SO IN ENDING THIS, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY AND THIS IS JUST AS IMPORTANT, REMEMBER TO SHOP RESPONSIBLY...NOTHING CAN PUT A WRINKLE IN YOUR DRESS THEN A CREDIT CARD BILL OUT OF CONTROL..YOUR NOT TRYING TO RACK UP DEBT, JUST DOING YOUR PART TO SAVE THE ECONOMY....
