I was thrilled when my Teen Vogue came in the mail with an article entitled 'Recessionistas: Savvy Teens Share Chic Ways to Score a Steal.' All of the lovely clothes I had been obsessing over since the moment I turned thirteen suddenly seemed possible. But then I saw that the high school fashion columnist in the featured photograph was wearing a $700 Alexander Wang blazer. Oh, okay.
It's easy to be fabulous when you have two-hundred dollars to spend on a T-shirt. When you can go to trunk shows on weekday mornings. When you live in London or Paris or New York. When your mother is a retired model.
But for most of us, it's not that simple.
This is a story about girls who are truly creative, who wear real clothes with genuine flare. This is a story about your best friend, your sister, your neighbor. This is a story about you.
