Fashionista: self-proclaimed. Credible terminology if not abused: see Bling, Pretentious. Imaginary. N/A
Fellow blogger over at Life & Times of a Stylista and I banter back and forth just a little about the over-usage of the word fashionista. Everyone is a fashionista. My Great-Aunt Pernease faithfully watches BET and guess what.. she too claims to be a fashionista. While I encourage freedom of expression whether it is via an editorial piece, through a mere opinion, or by the style of clothing you wear; I just dont think sporting the Black Labels defines one as such. As a matter of fact, I hear red-bottoms are extremely painful. I know for a fact True Religions jeans are not made for petite women with fat butts, and while I do have an LV bag I'd rather have the ability to eat at night before I go broke buying another just to keep up with the Kardashians!!! If your spending habits exceeds your need to EAT, the life of a FASHIONISTA just doesnt add up.
