The Love Affair with Lilly.

A long-time Lilly Pulitzer fan, I tried to suppress my love of the pink and green in a vain attempt at going for more edgy trendy styles. If you've ever seen me, you know my success was limited. (Edgy for me is wearing dark gray eye shadow, or choosing an outfit that doesn't have fur, rhinestones, patent leather, or bows.

So...I'm taking my love for Lilly out of the closet. And I'm starting with these boots - because they're my favorite thing in the current Fall collection. If they weren't suede I'd drool over their loveliness (but obviously you can't get suede wet, so I'll try to restrain myself).


I'm the teensiest bit skeptical of how this dress would look on me (I typically can't carry off the slouchy silhouette well, but the little sash at the waist might just keep it tailored enough...)

Not typically a big yellow OR navy fan...but the little ruffled button placket on the front and the 3/4 length sleeves are winning me over on this number:

Sequins, a v-neckline, hourglass tailoring. Really, who wouldn't like this dress?

Alan is probably sick of seeing me in cardigans...but I love how versatile they are! Plus, here in Dallas everywhere you go is over-air conditioned, so it's necessary to carry a sweater with you at all times - even in the dead heat of summer!

Bangles in candy colors. I love how girly they are!

Again with the slightly looser shape that I find so hard to work with on my frame...but the bell-sleeves and precious print are worth the trouble. I'd add a black patent leather belt to bring in the waist, and maybe some little red shoes...perfection!
