Will miss Betsey Johnson

Its sad to say that Betsey Johnson will be going out of business.   I have been a devoted follower and shopper of the brand for some years now.

Today the prices had been slashed even more to 40% off the lowest price on everything.

I dropped by Betsey Johnson today, to pick up a pair of earrings.   Only a pair of earrings, as I have already done some crazy shopping at the outlet in Vaughan Mills in Toronto, and also at Primm Outlet in Las Vegas.   I should have known better.   I ended up with not only that pair of earrings, but also a cute ring, 3 dresses and this watch (see below)!

I was actually tempted to buy more, but stopped myself, as I wanted to wait and see what is left when the prices get slashed even further.   For the items I did buy, I didnt want to take that risk.

The Vaughan Mills Outlet has officially closed I'm told and their remaining items have been sent to the Yorkville location.   Many items are only in single pieces, including the dresses I bought, so its come and get them while you can.    I even checked out the BetseyJohnson.com website, and there isnt really anything of my taste left to buy online!

I am really going to miss the cute and fun styles of Betsey Johnson.  Not sure how I will fill that void, but I am happy to hear that the brand will still be sold at the Bay in Canada and Macy's in the US.

Fun Betsey Johnson Watch

I went to the bay to check out the 70% off sale.  I was thinking that I would skip the jewelry section and go straight to clothes.  Well, when I got there, I decided to check if Betsey Johnson was on sale.  Big mistake.  No, Betsey wasnt on sale but then I decided to check the clearance section.  
O.m.g.  Soo many designer items were on clearance including Betsey Johnnson!!!!!  Most of the Betsey earrings I already had.  I was surprised to see them on clearance.  I was supposed to curb my spending for a while.  Oh, well....

I got some amazing deals on jewelry.  The greatest find was a Swarovski necklace that had a silver teddy bear on it.   Apparently customers were asking for it earlier but the Sales Associate had told them it was sold out.   What The Sales Associate did not know, was that it was placed in the clearance section!  Lucky me!  The necklace was originally $220 and I bought it at 76% off that price.    Wow!

Many Ralph Lauren, Nine West and Jessica Simpson items were on sale also.  I bought a very pretty purple necklace and bracelet set for about 70% off from the Lauren line of jewelry.

After my jewelry adventure, I decided to take a walk upstairs to the clothing section.   I was surprised to see that I felt like everything designer was on sale!  I saw more sale items than new season items!   Can you imagine... being surrounded by designer items all at 70% off, and in Toronto!

Long story short, I ended up with a few items.   My greatest find was a Tahari brand suit jacket.   I absolutely loved it when I saw it.   It is all black, but has an animal print on it in black, making it very subtle.   The regular price?  $538.  My price?  $128.     Wow!  What a deal!  I can't wait to wear it!

Next year I am waiting until mid-January to do my Boxing day shopping!
