Recessionista

Recessionista, as defined by Urban Dictionary, is "A person who is able to stick to a tight budget while still managing to dress stylishly." With the economy in a downward spiral, and the need to be stylish exponentially growing, recessionistas are popping up everywhere. Now, you can be a recessionista Stardoll-er as well! The monthly sale this month might not be the most encouraging sale ever, but there are a couple of a cheap and chic items that Superstars should shop and save on.

Paris Dress - originally $8, now only $4. Though it may not be for everyone, I love the lace detailing and girlish full skirt. The olive tone is a color rarely in one's wardrobe, and thus makes it essential to have.

Gaga Dress - originally $10, now only $5. I'm not a Lady Gaga style fan. Her music is great for the clubs, but her style leaves much to be desired in my books. However, at that price, I say go for it, and by the iconic Gaga dress.

Rose Tube Dress - originally $8, now only $4. To put it simply, for the days you want to look pretty and lady-like without a great deal of fuss.

Leaf Print Dress - originally $9, now only $4. A classic black and white sheath dress, with a lovely leaf detail. It is has the 40's elegance that the 00's lacks.

Stereo Print Bag - originally $8, now only $4. $8 was steep for a bag, but the new price makes this ironic bag affordable.

Port Purse - originally $5, now only $2. Because who can say no to an adorable candy apple red clutch? Especially at that price?

Printed Pumps - origninally $5, now only $2. Recessionistas know a timeless shoe when they see one. Black pumps are always stylish, but the print keeps them fresh.

What will you buying?

Update: The Elle collection showed that it wasn't on sale for some reason on my computer. However, the old collection is, for the most part, on sale. There are quite a few good deals there, including the Modern Moto Jckt and Extra Long Modern Blazer.
