There is a lot of talk of spending less on luxury items due to it being in poor taste. People don’t want to be seen as
flaunting their relative wealth or success while many others are losing retirement accounts and jobs. However, in the
fashion world, the idea is now to get the stylish, trendy look for less money. There is even a word for such budget-
conscious divas: recessionista. But, honestly, after paying $1000 for silk pants, who wants to go back to $20
polyester? No one.
From the research I have conducted, no one is giving advice on where people can shop to still look trendy without
breaking the bank and without looking like they shopped at Wal-Mart. Sure. TJMaxx/Marshalls are conducting an
“Overnight Event” to extol the virtues of off-price shopping. And you still have second hand shops. The fact of the
matter is, these places are not going to have the styles and up to date trends. And let’s face it, trends are still
faithfully rolling out. Hooded blanket coats, tweed, cashmere are some of this season’s trends. Check your local,
inexpensive big-box store; what do you find?
It’s obvious, everyone wants to go back to the classics without looking old and dated. There is also more emphasis
on buying local and sustainability. And you are not going to get that from buying the Chinese made polyester pants at
Wal-Mart. You will get it from independent designers such as Black Pearl Creations.
Hand crocheted garments, made in the USA, organic fibers, socially conscious, aware and active. This IS Black Pearl
Creations.

Black Pearl Creations is a one-woman operation offering bohemian chic designs to the woman who has everything.
I am conservative by nature and my crochet is the one area in which I can be free (within boundaries). LOL
I create whatever my mood fits. There is never a guarantee that I'll make more than one of an item or that I'll even
make it again in the future. Many items are OOAK (one of a kind) so the chances of you running into another
woman with the same outfit and/or accessories are pretty slim.
All of my work is created with my two hands and a crochet hook. My studio is a pet-free environment. I wish I could
say the same for my kids. :-)
