Betsey Johnson fabulous.

I love stuff by Betsey Johnson!  Some of her stuff is not really for me though, such as jewelry that has an arachnid theme (ahhh!). 

From a dress to jewelry to pajamas, a Betsey Johnson haul!  Betsey Johnson has her own line of Betsey Johnson and another line called Betseyville (more affordable).  I have a lot of Betsey Johnson merchandise mostly purchased from TJ Maxx and Nordstrom Rack.  In my last entry I posted BJ sunglasses for $15 (originally $85)!  These Betsey Johnson items have been purchased within the recent months and I decided to combine all of them in one entry!




Item 1-- Betsey Johnson Dress
Tank dress, cinched at the waist, with a cute skirt pattern!  Pockets on each side and a double layer skirt.  There was a rack where everything on it was $30.  I also purchase a cute blue frilly shirt but I recently washed it and it's super wrinkly... I'm too lazy to iron it and then take a picture of it and I don't want you guys to think, "This shirt looks ugly, no wonder it was on sale"... due to the extreme wrinkles!  A dress and a shirt, each at $30, buy one get one free... $15 each!
From: Betsey Johnson outlet store
Type of sale: Sale + Buy One Get One Free on everything
Original price: $318.00
Purchased price: $15.00


Item 2--  Necklace with teacup, heart, and bow
Gold necklace with silver charms and a cute purple tea cup.
From: Nordstrom Rack
Type of sale: Nordstrom Rack price
Original price: $30.00
Purchased price: $11.97







Item 3-- Gold charm bracelet with leopard print theme
The gold charm bracelet is a stretchy bracelet, perfect for small wrists like mine.  The clock charm is a non working clock... It's just a picture of a clock.  I'm sure it would have cost more if this charm bracelet was also a watch.  It's always 2:35!
From: Ross
Type of sale: Ross everyday
Original price: $65.00
Purchased price: $24.99




Item 3-- Long necklace with school charms
This necklace can be doubled with two layers.  I love the whimsical charms on here like the ruler, scissors, and pencil.  Throw in a couple of heart charms and this makes such a cute layering necklace.
From: Macy's
Type of sale: Take an additional 50% off already reduced jewelry.
Original price: $50.00
Purchased price: $24.99 with final price $12.50


Item 4-- Floral pajama set
A PJ set with a button up long sleeve top and drawstring pants.  Perfect for the winter months!
From: Marshall's
Type of sale: Marshall's everyday + clearance
Original price: $59.00
Purchased price: $24.99 with final price $20.00

Side Note!
Go to Burger King tomorrow and get a Whopper for 88 cents!  Valid only tomorrow, August 8!  I feel like I should have a side note just for foodie deals.  Yum.

Fashionably cheap,

"Summertime girls are the kind I like, I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike"

I used to love that song... "Summer Girls" by LFO.  It was my summer jam when I was 11 and thought LFO was a trio of black guys singing about girls who wear Abercrombie & Fitch.  I should have known they were three white guys.  How could I have known with lyrics that talk about 'stealing your honey' and 'shake and wiggle to a hip-hop song' or 'always been hip to the b-boy style'?  I guess I just thought they were very proper and not as vulgar compared to other hip-hop artists.  I know all the lyrics to "Summer Girls,"  I find it embarrassing and awesome at the same time.  There's a line in the song that goes, "I hate Kevin Bacon but I love Footloose" but for years I didn't understand the Footloose reference and thought the lyrics were "I hate ham and bacon but I love Footloose."

Two outfits that are girly and stylish for the summer weather!  The first outfit displays a blouse and hat while the second outfit is a dress and a pair of sunglasses. 

Outfit 1:
I absolutely love this top.  It's light, airy, and by one of my favorite brands "Free People."  Under the top I wore a simple tank since the top was sheer.  The top hangs off of one shoulder which I thought may be bothersome but wasn't at all.  I loved how it looked with one sleeve off the shoulder.  I paired the top with jean shorts you can find anywhere.  I'm leaving the jean shorts out of the blog because they were jean shorts I bought when I was 17 from Hollister! (However, I did by them on sale for $12 at the time; Don't ask how I remember these things... I remember everything that I buy and how much I paid for it)  I decided to buy a hat to wear with my outfit.  A cute fedora matches perfectly with the style of the shirt.  I'm usually not a hat person because I have an odd shaped head; really... I'm serious...it's oddly shaped.  I purchased the hat using a $5.00 promotional coupon I received at Charlotte Russe from a previous purchase.  About 2 months ago they had a deal where when you purchased $25.00 of merchandise from their store they gave you a $5.00 voucher card good for your next purchase in June.

Outfit 2:
This cute red and white dress has a great pattern that stands out.  The dress is fitted at the top and the straps can be adjusted to standard straps or criss-cross straps in the back.  There is also pockets on each side!  The sunglasses are pale pink with a cute heart accent on the side.  The sunglasses are designed by Betsey Johnson.  I love the stuff by Betsey Johnson so much that I already plan to post an entry dedicated to a few of my Betsey Johnson items.  Stay tuned for a Betsey Johnson themed entry coming soon!
