Today was no casual Friday for me.  In fact, I had to look professional as we had an event at work.  I decided to wear my structured LBD, which never steers me wrong.  So flattering and the striped detailing shows that this is not your typical black dress.  This dress is also perfect for transitioning from day to night.  It was the perfect opportunity to pull out my Lilly Pulitzer First Impressions Murfee scarf and top it off with a colorful chartreuse belt and coral earrings (wasn't feeling too matchy matchy today!)

While the exact shoes, Murfee scarft and studs I am wearing are not availble right now, there are many other options to choose from that are just as darling!  Since I'm building up my scarf collection, I'd love to hear what your favorite Murfee prints are in the comments below!

It's been a week of dreary weather here, and today was actually a little chilly, burrrr.  I knew I needed something bright and colorful to get through the day, so  I decided to wear this Lilly WHS steal!  The funny thing is, I've had my eye on it for months and finding it was a sign that I needed to own it!

This Evelyn dress is pink and blue with a scoop back; can't get better than that!

Both dress and belt are Lilly Pulitzer from previous seasons.  This dress definitely made me smile, but I would love to pull this out again in the fall and add some boots and a scarf!!  Looking forward to some warmer weather and sun soon!

Polka Dots, Stripes, and Pink...Oh My

So it's been a few weeks since my May Golden Tote arrived and I think I've styled almost everything I've received.  The Handkerchief Dress (see previous post here) is still awaiting the right moment.  Since my last post, I also traded my Naked Zebra LBD and the Priddy Eyelet Dress for this beauty, which I can't wait to wear.  The print is even more beautiful in person!

But this weekend, I attended a party on a yacht for my work, and I knew the Embroidered Maxi would be perfect for it.  The colors (I accessorized with gold) made it seem dressy and reminded me of the water!

 

Dress: Embroidered Maxi, Golden Tote | Shoes: Dolea Sandals, Aldo

If you have not tried Golden Tote yet, it's a must.  And sorry in advance because it's quite the addiction!   If you do try it for the first time, I'd love for you to use my referral link!  My June tote will hopefully ship soon-I can't wait to share what I chose!

A good pair of shoes can really transform an outfit, and lately I've been all about color blocking.  My newest heel purchase was this beauty from Neiman Marcus Last Call (a post on my obsession with money saving shopping sites coming soon...) which I wore with my Kentucky Derby outfit!  Love the vibrant turquoise and navy, which pair with so much of my clothing.

And the best part, these D'Orsay pumps also come in pink/orange, which are equally fabulous!  In fact, pink shoes are a must have!

Sandals are a great option for summer!  I prefer them as they are more casual and transition from day to night!

Wish I could add all of these to my closet!  Which of these is your favorite?

This morning was the first time I attended the Lilly Pulitzer Warehouse Sale, which may be surprising as many ladies I know are huge Lilly fans, including many of my sorority sisters.  I figured it was time to give this sale a chance.  I did keep an open mind knowing that many items would be snagged right away and I did not want to wait in line for opening day, which was Thursday.

 The Lilly Jeep!

There was a minimal line, I may have waited 5 minutes to get into the sale.  My main reason for going was to get Murfees, so I headed to the scarf section first.  There were so many older prints that I have been wanting to get, so it was a great selection.  Not many newer prints today, but I did get a Riley scarf in the Watermelon Coralina, which is one of the prints I've been wanting. I'm hoping some dresses in that print will be in the ESS Sale!

Next I checked out the Samples and Sale section. This was pretty much picked through, but I did find the striped Evelyn dress that I've been wanting.  The other section I wanted to check out was the dress section, but there wasn't much available and anything that was there weren't at great prices.  I did pick up a maxi dress which I like, but I'm on the fence about keeping it.

Here are my finds-top row are scarves, bottom row includes 2 dresses, belt and DZ pencil case!

In all, I got about $1375 in merchandise for $425.  It was a great sale for accessories-I'll definitely check it out again next year as long as I live close by!  Ladies who couldn't make it, the prices during the Endless Summer Sale in August are much better for clothing.  Can't wait to get some dresses then.  If anyone snagged any dresses in Lets Cha Cha or High Beams in S/M, I'm ISO...

Happy first day of June.  I'm counting down the days until my first beach trip this summer (usually spontaneous decisions!)  When I think of the perfect summer color, the first thing that comes to mind is blue...baby blue, cobalt, turquoise, I love them all.

Lilly Pulitzer's Lets Cha Cha is one of my favorite prints, and the Spa Blue version does not disappoint!

This casual dress is a perfect beach cover-up!

I love flats, especially d'orsay flats. So pretty, especially this cobalt blue!

I love everything about this clutch!

And can't forget about new mani ideas!!  Loving the ombre look and will be trying it out shortly.

Can't wait to bring out my blues!  How will you be sporting blue this summer?
