Is there an inexpensive way of being fashionable?

A girl’s cry for Louboutins is a prevailing gesture, which loudens as the recession triggers. Of all the Charlotte Olympia’s, Nicole Farhi Booties and Kurt Geiger platforms, Louboutins sit at the top of the shoe style stakes, illuminating a kind of soulful grab in all our hearts.

The red sole, the ere of preen elegance it illuminates, it brings you closer to the sexiness and vigorous beauty of our late ‘Pretty women.’ As they glide on the red carpet, they divulge as a birthmark descending into to all the prominent shoe brands, like Charlotte Olympia and Jeffrey Campbell. But with which credit card do I owe the pleasure of purchasing my lust-after louboutins with? Do I hear a lotto win?

As much as I’d like to sound hopeful in the quest to join the Victoria Beckhams and J.Lo’s of our social exterior, I do not have their diamanté salary. So like all the other trillion girls, we have to settle with black soles. Or do we?

How many times have you sunk in to your wardrobe, only to find a similar top to the one you bought yesterday? And have you ever caught bone of the tag in your top and asked yourself: could I have made this myself? The answer is this: any girl of a similar caliber, who finds herself caught in the pull of the recession, dying to splash out on new seasonal buys, needs to get hold of a sewing machine.

You have no excuse to get caught in a style rut: reinvent your old, dusty costume into some fathomable, modern fresh, fashion clout.

Rather than swipe the credit card, deepening your debts, hold on to the lycra, chiffon; the camisoles lurking in your closet and weep on to the fact these treasured items, buried behind your new wardrobe are in fact, the clothes which ensure you have a fashion moment. They are the vintage that will see you through the hit and fall of the financial slump.  

Visit craft shops, vintage stores; buy your red panels and live in the louboutins you only ever dreamed of looking at. Don’t allow yourself to have a black soul; your red soles are a craft away.
