So my mom and I were watching things on our DVR while we brainstormed ideas for blog posts. After some cute ideas, I think/say out loud, "Why haven't we done a Betsey Johnson post?" And that's exactly where today's post is headed. For anyone who's spent at least 15 seconds on the site or watching a runway show, you know just how adorable Betsey's lines are. Thankfully, I came into some money right before my eighth grade semi and was able to splurge a little on a Betsey Johnson cotton-candy-esque dress. I'm always after a new
dress, whether it be on ebay or just on sale and I can't stop looking at her lines. My newest obsession? A want for a
watch! But leave it to Betsey to do something not-so-conventional. Her watches either don't have numbers or they're totally goofy looking, but none-the-less just so cute! :) And although I won't be getting married for another ten or so years, I have full intentions of wearing a Betsey
wedding dress on my special day. Most importantly, DON"T be ashamed of where you get your Betsey stuff. Just because it's from TJ-Maxx or ebay, doesn't mean it's not as real! You should be proud that you're such a bargain hunter! I got the cutest sunglasses at TJ-Maxx for $15 and a bathing suit at Urban Outfitters (on super sale) for $20!
So if you're a fan, post a pic of/link to YOUR favorite betsey item!

(PS- this post has nothing to do with witches, i'm just a sucker for a good alliteration!)
So excited to share this dress that I made! I got the materials at Jomar so the total comes in at way under $5, plus I've got tons of fabric left over! It's basically a light gray circle skirt with a darker gray, somewhat sheer circle skirt on top of that. The top is a heathered peach tank (I used my favorite tank top as a template and traced it onto the fabric). The seam where the tank and skirt meet is not very pretty, so I made a quick belt out of the under skirt fabric to conceal it! In total, it probably only took 2-3 hours and I'm super pleased with how the dress turned out!
