The recessionista has been spotted everywhere: on the streets, on the set and even on the red carpet. I have always been a fan of mixing high-end pieces in with more inexpensive items (e.g. a fab dress you picked up at the thrift store with your fave killer manolos). To me, that whole matchy-matchy concept screams “I have no personal style.” And as it turns out, some of our favorite celebs feel the same way.
