FIRST LOOK: CHARLOTTE RONSON FOR JCPENNEY
The downtown designer has $30 dresses. Now we are so happy, we do the dance of joy.
There's lots to weigh when considering "fast fashion" - the environmental impact of mass produced stuff, for instance, or the debate if you really need another floral dress.
But when you decide to buy into a diffusion line, one thing is really great about it - democracy has officially woven itself into the fabric of fashion. No longer can girls get teased for shopping at mall stores; no longer can "having the best stuff" be exclusive to the fewest people.
That's ultimately why we're in love with Charlotte Ronson's new line, I Heart Ronson, for JC Penney. Available starting this February, the clothes bring Charlotte's downtown, rock babe aesthetic to those who can't shop in Soho, Los Angeles, or Tokyo, and it does it at rock bottom prices.
And while we'd caution you against buying anything you don't really, really want, we'll definitely agree: It's okay to want it all.

considering I work at JC Penney and receive 20% discounts: Yes! it is totally worth it!!!
And also because of the fact that most of the clothes & styles there, well...sucks.

One question: how freaking lucky did the people over at JC Penny get for Charlotte Ronson to design clothes for THEM??? This will actually force me into that store when I'm not buying bath towels.

These clothing designs totally suck----
wtf
I thought that the last time I witnessed her poor excuses for original clothing design-
man-
This is bad.

Let me add...
You could dig through any freakin thrift store and put together these ensembles.
And I don't mean great thrift store finds-
I mean the crap that you dig through and ignore in Jet Rag's parking lot.

I really like the clothes, but only because I am in love with all things luella, and this line looks just like a bunch of luella imitations.
erika

My five-heart rating is for the article rather than the designs... what a charming way of reminding us that "fast fashion" isn't always as innocent as it seems! You're so smart, as always. Thanks for that.

My friend and I just went to JCPenny's to check out their shoes (since that is the only thing I buy in there) and we passed a I heart Ronson section that I assume is charlotte ronson's clothes those close are hideous I honestly thought that line was made by a little old blue haired lady (the clothes are way out of fashion and look more like something you would see on little house on the prairie. I had never seen Charlotte Ronson's clothes before this and I can not believe people were this excited to see such horrible clothing. Oh well to each is own.
