I am no fashionista, but I know designer true love when I see it, and I've been in love with Ms. Betsey Johnson for years. Her creations play right into my obsessions: tutus (duh), princessy accents, short dresses, sparkle and shine, etc. And, goddamn, she seems like a fun lady! Sadly, my own personal Betsey collection comes down to three pieces: a black lacy number that I miraculously scored at TJ Maxx years ago for $70, a pin-striped form-fitter I got on eBay for real cheap, and a brand-new white corset/full-skirt dress that I am too paranoid to actually wear out (dirt!). However, I do love to torture myself by occasionally going on the Betsey website and picking out my favoritest pieces. My latest:
Now, if I were to subject myself to join the masses on the greatest amateur night of them all, St. Patrick's Day, this is what I'd want to be wearing. Coincidentally, last night I purchased a St. Patty's tiara from the Target bargain bins. Leprechaun princess chic? I'm into it!
Marriage material. Meet me in Vegas, baby.
Sparkles AND purple? Um, YES.
A little shot of sophistication. It's like a dress in jacket form, and I want it.
Not into the dress at all, but the scarf...I'm not afraid to indulge in a bit of gaudiness.
