Has the recession affected you like it’s affecting me? I feel gloomy these days and I just wish the same depressing headlines didn’t have to keep hitting us over the head day after day, reminding us how the economy is falling apart. Isn’t it weird how even though we’re making the same amount of money (those of us in salaried jobs) we feel like we can’t spend the way we did just 6 months ago? I find myself questioning my purchases and stalling on buying anything I don’t absolutely need.

The fashion industry has been through recessions before and it knows we’ve got some tough times to endure together. Come fall, we should we seeing a lot more black on the racks.
