Dressing Up in a Down Economy

If you're like many Americans, you've spent the past couple of weeks struggling to grasp the enormity of the financial crisis unfolding before your eyes.

What should you be thinking? How should you react? How should you alter your day-to-day lifestyle in light of the nation's slowing economy?

The first and most obvious answer is to change your spending habits to account for the current situation.

Luckily, New York-based designer Daryl K. and Barney's Co-Op have sprung to your aid as you try to downsize and simplify. For the financially savvy shopper, they are now offering this blue silk twill patchwork Recession Dress. On account of the recession, it's priced at a mere $620.

Portfolio.com recommends pairing it with this lovely, simple recession necklace and recession handbag.

Just have Barney's, Bergdorf, and Tiffany put it all on your MasterCard!

Because that's what the credit crunch needs: more debt.
