butterflies mean spring

Filed under: Betsey Johnson — Ginger @ 9:02 am

Aaaaagh! It’s snowing again! I blame this all on the groundhog. Next year, I’m going to go to the groundhog ceremony and as soon as the little guy comes out of his hole I’m going to hold a boom box over my head John Cusack-style and blare some Abba (groundhogs, if you don’t know, are notorious Abba fans). This will keep him from seeing his shadow, thus allowing an earlier spring, thus giving us ladies a few more weeks to wear dresses like this one.

I love all the happy butterflies! Butterflies are good luck. I seem to know all kinds of things about animals today. Maybe I should have become a zoologist instead…

party dresses and papaya

Filed under: Betsey Johnson — Ginger @ 11:37 am

Party dresses everywhere! I’m feeling celebratory and festive, in a way that makes me want to wear party dresses to my last week and a half of classes (for some reason, the thought of this makes the idea of sitting in class more tolerable…). I’m also thinking about what to wear for New Year’s Eve, and whilst thinking about this I stumbled on this little polka dot Betsey Johnson number. I love that it bells out, which is perfect for spinning — and for eating lots and lots of mini quiche. Does reasoning get any better than that?

With all that black, I think this needs a little pop of color. I like the juicy orangey red of these flats, which remind me of sunrise papaya.

 And these lemon quartz triple teardrop earrings from Banana Republic would make the spinning that much more dizzying (and awesome!).

little green dress

So if you’re totally sick of the little black dress, why not go for a sweet green one? I love the shade of bottle green in the Bronwen

the perfect little black dress

Filed under: Betsey Johnson — Ginger @ 3:03 pm

Some people collect baseball cards, or stamps, or teacups. Me? I collect Betsey Johnson dresses. As a teenager, I bypassed all those Cinderella prom gowns in favor of a long, black velvet Betsey with hand-dyed silk ribbon roses running up the deep-V back. I still pull that dress out for formal holiday parties. Now that, ladies, is what we call an investment.

Can’t think of an occasion for which to buy this sexy little cocktail shift? Let me justify it for you: every girl needs a little black dress. This little black dress will, in fact, create opportunities for you to wear it. Just in case you still need a reason, let me list a few: It’s a perfect, classic staple for your wardrobe. And it will fit like a glove, as Betsey Johnson dresses do.

Betsey also designs some pretty wild shoes, and since this dress is so simple any of those would absolutely work, but I’m partial to these gold peep toe heels (Nitetime) with this satin clutch
