Unabashedly Bright

Lilly Pulitzer is almost a southern staple, but you don't have to be a college sorority girl to pull off the cheery prints. My love hate relationship for Lilly continues as I gravitate towards to vibrant colors but shun some of the loud florals that hung in my closet in the year 2000. This simple cotton dress boasts color, but the busy pattern consists of swirls, dots and even a lion if you look closely. I'm a fan of the Palm Beach inspired island attire on this toasty humid day! 

Dress: Lilly Pulitzer; D'Orsay Flat: Ann Taylor; Sunnies: Tory Burch; Bangles: Alexis Bittar, Kenneth Jay Lane.

Playful Pattern

I'm convinced that a pattern can amp up any attire! Not only do I adore the color combo of the frock, I think  it can dazzle from work to play! The print is just edgy enough, but add the heels and a refined necklaces for glam.
