As many of you know we were away on a buying trip this week. I personally love buying trips, it is fun to get away enjoy time with my mom, look for new things for the stores, eat great food and get new ideas. This was no doubt my favorite buying trip we have ever gone on. I feel like we found so many new AMAZING brands and styles of clothes we have never had before. From jewelry to purses, chunky knit sweaters, dressy dresses, casual dresses, glitzy tops, lounging outfits & cell phone accessories, we found it all.
Before we left I was contacted and asked to take a look at the new line Betsey Johnson has out, super cute clothes for great prices.
Of course I jumped at that opportunity..
1. Every school report I ever wrote was on Betsey Johnson
2. I have a closet full of her clothes
3. The line sheets she sent were way too cute not to go take a look
( cute graphic tees, cardigans with crystal buttons, floral dresses, lightening bolt sweaters, & skull lace pattern blouses )
My mom and I made it to the decked out pink booth on Valentines day and gushed over the clothes. We sat down for our appointment eating pink pearl candy (too cute for words) and picking out clothes. It just so happened that Betsey herself was making an appearance at the show. I was beyond excited to just get to see her even if it was behind a crowd of people. She was taking pictures and talking on a pink swarovski crystal microphone to everyone, and then it happened. She took a break and came into the booth, I was just about freaking out when she smiled and said “oh good! you girls are ordering do you like the line?”
At that moment that was more than enough for me, then she sat down at the table next to us and they brought out the pink champagne for us all. And if this all wasn’t enough my mom and I got to talk to her before we left for the night, my mom let her know that she was basically the reason I was so in love with fashion growing up and she asked me how old I was, how I got started and where my stores were at. I told her and she said ” you are so young, keep working hard, never stop.. you better be doing it till you are 72 like me“. Those words were the best advice anyone has ever given me, and it gave me more motivation than I ever knew possible. We ended with a BIG hug and a picture.
This was one of the most magical days of my life, I got to meet & talk to my fashion icon, buy her clothes for my stores & spend time with my mom. I feel so blessed for all of the amazing opportunities my job has given me and I am so excited to share them all with you guys. I can’t wait to show you all the great new clothes!
