HOW TO DRESS IN THE RECESSION Part I

As we ring in 2010, we still face an incredible unemployment rate of almost 10% and a recession that seems to take it's sweet time ending anytime soon.  Although these statistics seem dismal, there is still the need to seek employment or business opportunities (because bills still need to be paid)!

No matter what industry you are seeking employment in, or if you are returning to school, there are a few fashion staples that you will need to "dress for success."  Now, I don't mean to be rude or disrespectful, but let's be real: in today's economy the main source of income for some is an unemployment check or government assistance benefits.  These monthly stipends are barely enough to cover basic living expenses, let alone shop for a job interview or a day at school.  Therefore, this week will be devoted to tips and resources for finding those necessary staples for a polished look for little money at all, and look as if you stepped out of the pages of a fashion magazine!
