Dialing up the Quirky - a video/interview with fashion designer Betsey Johnson

Devoting this week's posts to living and dressing outside the box. (I call it "Dialing up the Quirky!") What better way to start off than to share this, up close and personal, video from Betsey Johnson - the best example of offbeat style and audaciously sassy feminine outrageous fashions that I can think of!

"What good am I, if I'm not me?" 

These words are so true and are one of the reasons that I admire Betsey Johnson, who at the age of 71, is still going strong and still turning those cartwheels on the runway!!

My Way or the Highway

The video below is courtesy of StylelikeU (one of my favorite fashion/style websites).  I've been following them for several years now.  I enjoy the videos and interviews with unusual people who are obviously living life on their own terms.  I especially appreciate a fairly new segment they have added called "Ageless Dailies".  If you are interested in fashion "off the beaten path" - This is where to go to watch interesting style video/interviews done by people of a certain age. Yes!

Hold on...here's Betsey Johnson

BTW - Betsey Johnson also stars with her daughter Lulu in her own reality show, XOX Betsey Johnson.

The show follows the mother daughter duo in their real lives as Lulu attempts to establish her own fashion line apart from her mom’s—all the while being a single mom. And the show comes complete with a fashionable entourage of “friends” for dimension.
