Pretty in Punk: Betsey Johnson

I absolutely adore Betsey Johnson.  To me, she just screams self-love: she cartwheels on catwalks, smiles in the face of oh-so-serious fashion editors, and seems to constantly be dancing to the beat of her own drummer whether there’s a drummer or not.

Since I first saw her interviewed, I’ve felt a profound respect for Betsey.  To me, her line and personal image represent something we don’t see enough of these days: a woman with personal style, who isn’t afraid to be noticed for who she is, whether or not it seems a little wild or over-the-top.  Little black dress?  Pul-lease.  If you’re into Betsey Johnson, you’ll be wearing turquoise.

I’ve never been able to easily afford Betsey Johnson, though, even with one of her stores just a half-block from my office.  That’s why today’s Gilt Fuse sample sale has me in a bit of a tizzy.

Gilt Fuse sells designer products at really low prices – lower than the already-discounted Gilt.com does – and that means I just might be able to pick up my first Betsey dress today.  (I’m still tizzied.  – Is that even a word?)

What do you think of Miss Betsey Johnson?  Will you be checking out her sample sale on Gilt Fuse?

PS: If you need an invite to Gilt Fuse, use ours.  It’s free, not spam-y, and helps us with our own Gilt overhead only if you choose to buy something.
