Betsey Johnson clothing is beautiful, with a punk-rocker style that isn't present in most designers' work today. Betsey Johnson studied at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, before winning the"Guest Editor" contest for Mademoiselle magazine. In 1978, Betsey Johnson opened a retail store and now there are more than 40 Betsey Johnson stores around the world. Betsey Johnson designs tend to be expensive, but are of very high quality. If you don't have a Betsey Johnson store near you, it's possible to purchase Betsey Johnson designs at her official store website. But it is possible to find Betsey Johnson designs at a discounted price.

Instructions

1. Search local discount retail stores in your area. Stores like Loehmann's and Century 21 purchase Betsey Johnson designs from past seasons at discounted prices. Then, they offer the clothing and accessories to you at a slightly elevated cost. If you're willing to wait out the season, you can purchase brand-new Betsey Johnson clothing and accessories with tags for a fraction of the retail cost. Check the "Resources" section to find a Loehmann's or Century 21 in your area.

2. Scour the sale racks at local department stores. Department stores like Bloomingdales, Macy's, and Lord and Taylor carry Betsey Johnson designs. Although the clothing and accessories located at these stores will probably be current season designs offered at regular retail price, sometimes the sale racks at these department stores will carry old designs for inexpensive prices. This may take more searching than Loehmann's or Century 21, which separate their sale racks by designer, but you still will have some luck if you search the two stores frequently.

3. Check online discount designer clothing sites like Bluefly. Bluefly is an online operation that purchases designer clothing at wholesale. Because Bluefly does not have to pay for storefronts, they are able to offer designer clothing at discounted prices. Bluefly also has a great sale section where you can buy out-of-season items for a discount. Bluefly frequently has Betsey Johnson items, especially dresses, so check the website often for deals.

4. Buy new and used Betsey Johnson designs on eBay and eBay Stores. Some Ebay members frequently sell new Betsey Johnson clothing. Although it is unclear whether the seller has their own online or real-life store and is selling their remnants through eBay, or is simply a Betsey Johnson fan, there is always a great selection of brand-new as well as used Betsey Johnson clothing and accessories on Ebay for very discounted prices. Check the retail price of the original item ahead of time so you don't end up paying more than the retail value of the item. Sometimes bidders can get out of hand and pay more for what the item is actually worth.

5. If you've tried the other steps and you're out of luck, check the Betsey Johnson website for sales. Usually the website has many sale options, especially on dresses. If you're looking for a particular last-season dress, the website may have it on sale at a fraction of the original cost.
