As I was perusing around the Fashion Night Out photos I, of course, stumbled upon the Betsey Johnson collection. It's amazing in so many ways: it fits full-figured women (we're talking sizes 9-11) and is still cute, she has her "under $100" line that is tied in with collection, and she uses color...lot's of it. Why is there such a fascination with Betsey? It's because her models seem to be smiling while walking down the runway- proudly strutting their fluorescent makeup and mismatched adorable clothes.
Walking in those clothes, in those shoes, (etc.) you get the feeling that fashion is alive, it's fun. And that is what fashion simply, is. It's supposed to be about the style of it all: how it's thrown on, as apposed to how regal it looks. I compare Betsey Johnson to a new garment that you buy: once you finally get to wear it with the perfect outfit- it's the most joyous thing ever. It's as if you've been waiting for this and waiting for the perfect day and here it is, the clothing, the makeup, simply...the everything. It all comes together so beautifully.
I can't help but smile when I see these clothes. Not that they are funny or something that should be laughed at- not at all! It's a deep sigh of, "ahh," the sigh of wonder.
"How was that created? That is gorgeous, how can I own that? How much does that cost?" Because god knows, some of us (like me, the lowly college student) can't afford a B.Johnson dress...le sigh!
Anyways enough about my excessive love of Betsey's FNO. I
am going to try and find a dress at a thrift store that is similar! Good luck in the jungle. xoxo-Sarah
