Kathryn in Philadelphia Inquirer
Kathryn is quoted in the Philadelphia Inquirer:
Bloggers like the Budget Fashionista (www.thebudgetfashionista.com) began writing daily journals about their obsession with affordable clothes. All of a sudden, fashionistas were no longer uppity insiders; they were people who followed the fashion industry.
“I was someone who was hyperaware of styles and I needed to do it on a budget,” said Kathryn Finney, who started the Budget Fashionista out of her City Avenue apartment; today, the New Jersey-based blog gets two million hits a month.
“It’s a word that came directly from the fashion world, and its evolution is proof that fashion affects all of us.”
