OMF(ashion)G: Betsey Johnson makes me hot


Okay OMFGers...

I have an addiction I have been struggling with for the past few years, but has definitely become more prominent in the past year or so, and that addiction is to anything and everything Betsey Johnson! Who is she, you ask? Betsey Johnson is a fashion designer who has been on the scene for well over 40 years. She is mostly known for her brightly colored, adorned, often brightly colored, over-the-top fashions.  Celebs love her crazy, kitschy style too! Check Rhianna and Lil’ Mama rockin’ a hot pink and black tulle number by the eclectic designer:

 


And check it out…this is the exciting part. ANYONE can afford to look beautiful in Betsey! And I do mean anyone. Prices in her boutiques (the two in Atlanta are in Perimeter Mall and Lenox Mall) are pretty high. Most dresses full price range in the $275-$500 area.  Though lately she has been running some amazing sales!  Last month I scored a coat that was $350 retail, but had been marked down several times to $120! I seriously live in that thing with this crazy cold weather. Not only that, but her jewelry, sunglasses, socks, stockings, wallets, and purses can be found at discount retailers everywhere (places like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, etc.) You can also go on auction sites (eBay, etsy) and nab some amazing deals. Among some other Betsey swag, I received a FANTASTIC pair of her sunglasses for Christmas. My parents just HAD to tell me how much they paid for them…$3. Yes. Three. American. Dollars. See, for less than the price of a value meal you can be high stylin’ in some beautiful Betsey Johnson goodies! Here is miss Betsey herself showing off some of her own designs:


                     
 And just for fun…me decked out in my most prized possession: my sparkly, sequin-skirted, hot pink Betsey Johnson prom dress at the Revolver Magazine Golden Gods Awards last year, escorted by my dear friend/Daath guitarist Eyal Levi:




Now ladies and cross-dressers, go forth, shop frugally (we are in a recession, ya know,) and be fabulous!
