How has the housing crisis affected home fashion retail??

Being that the United states is currently going through an Recession, it has taken a big tole in the home market and the home interior market. Many families don't have the funds to buy new homes so a lot of them are starting to sell there homes to save money. By doing so people are buying less furniture and different home decor arrangements to furnish one's house. Decorating ones' home now a days is not an neccesity it can be viewed as an luxury. The same goes for the fashion retail. Many families has cut back on shopping for shoes and clothing since the beginning of the year. Those that work for the retail industries has seen a recent cut on sales in many different stores. Families aren't shopping as much as they usually would. They are now starting to focus on the necessites such as gas and food since they are fluctuating on a daily basis. Although Christmas season has started and it is just around the corner many families are not spending as much money on gifts as they would have in the past. As talked about on the news, families are bargain shopping and going to department stores that will save them the most on the sales that they may have.
Hopefully in the near future you will see the home fashion retail climb back to where it orignally was. For now since the economy is suffering the home fashion retail will still be an issue.
