Lace Shirts: Part 2

So remember this post where I was looking for a lace shirt.  Well, I found the perfect one!  AND, it's Lilly Pulitzer!   

Poppy Shirt by Lilly Pulitzer

I love exposed zippers!

Also, notice the colored denim!  The only problem is that it's $108; I'll have to wait until there is a sale or a coupon or something.

Birthday Wish List

It's less than a month until my birthday and so I've started a wish list!

I really want these Tory Burch sandals, but when I showed my husband he laughed .  

Tortoise shell Ray-Bans.  So classic!

I know you're thinking only the lamest person in the world would want socks for their birthday, but these are the best socks ever!  They are asics hydrology and they are the only ones I like to run in!

Another kind of boring birthday gift but I love these scrub tops and I always need more for work.

Same as above.

Silver Jack Rogers.

I love McKim sandals; they are cute and classy and comfortable.

I wouldn't really need these and the silver Jacks.  It's an either/or kinda thing.

Lilly Update

Remember this post when I wrote about how I had about 5 dresses with no where to wear them all.  Well now I'm about 3 dresses short.

I'm going to wear this one to my cousins wedding

I wore this for my cousin's fiance's bridal shower.

I wore this for Easter

I'm going to wear this one for the rehersal dinner for my cousin's wedding.

 I also have a bachelorette party, another wedding, and Keeneland this Saturday for the Toyota Bluegrass Stakes that I still need a dress for!

I bought this dress last week but it won't be in until the 21st, and it's too casual for most of the events I have coming up!

I'm either going to have to get to shopping!  My husband will hate this post!

Retail Therapy

I saw on facebook and a couple of my favorite blogs that people were impressed with the Rue La La sale yesterday.  I wasn't really; I didn't need anything and prices seemed a little high for very old clothes.

I wanted this skirt and it was only $29, but shipping is $10 which made it a little unreasonable for a skirt from summer of 2010.  The $10 shipping is a one time fee per month but I know that I will not be buying anything else unless they have another Lilly sell within a month.

Hotty Pink first impression is my all time favorite print but  I couldn't bring myself to pay $80  for a dress I have no where to wear.  Plus, since I used this print in my wedding, two of my best friends have the blossom dress that I can borrow!

I was bummed out about not finding anything on Rue La La so I decided to go to Belk to see if they had anything on sale.

They did not but they were have a 20% off if you use your card thing so I got this dress.  It ran really big so I had to get an extra small!

I would have gotten this one too, but my Belk did not get this print.  I'm still on the hunt.

Lace Shirts

One of my best friends, Whitney, has such cute bohemian style that is totally the opposite of my preppy style.  She has all these flowy tops and I'm jealous of her style every time I see her.  So because of Whitney, I'm now in the market for a lace shirt.

This one is J. Crew.  It's on sale for $39.99 but it's not really flowy like I want.

This one is also J. Crew and it's exactly what I'm looking for but it is $110

J. Crew again; on sale for $59.99.  I love this one because it is a good combination of  hippie and preppy.

This one is by Tulle.  I found it on Piperlime and it's only $54, plus it has a super cute exposed zipper sown the back!  I LOVE exposed zippers!

This is by Sabine; I found this one on Piperlime too.  It's super cute and the price is great at $69.

I'm leaning towards getting the tatted lace J. Crew sweater one and the Sabine one.  What do you think?

Lilly Pulitzer Spring 2012

Yesterday I was looking at the Lilly Pulitzer website for the millionth time at the spring line, deciding what I will buy as soon as it is slightly on sale.  Here are the clothes I chose; I'll do a separate post on shoes later.

First up...seersucker

I love this whole outfit.  I love the idea of mixing prints.  This is the Dusti shirt in Lilly's pink Mariposa and the mimosa skirt (it's hard to see in the pic but it is pink seersucker.)

These are the Buttercup shorts, also in pink seersucker.

Adeline dress in pink seersucker.  

When I realized that I had picked three items for my "have to have" list in pink seersucker I tried to eliminate one or two, but I failed.  I think they are all so different yet so classic and wearable.  They come in other colors but I still pick these.  I have a yellow seersucker Blossom dress from last year and white seersucker shorts with sailing flags.  So really pink is what I need the most.

This isn't actually from spring but I still love it, the Rebecca sweater!

Ferra dress in call me kitty cat.  I'm not sure that I love the dress, but I love the print!

Belle top in white and callahan shorts in call me kitty cat.  I think  I might like these better than the dress; the jury is still out.

Dusti shirt again in blue.

And my favorite, the Somerset dress!

Somerset dress in bright navy cherry picker.  It is only $108 full price so it only has to be a tiny bit off for me to  justify buying it!

Somerset in navy. $98!

Somerset in resort white valley girl.  This is the one that I love the most and I will probably buy it full price if I don't get a coupon or a sale soon!

Colored Denim

I think it was last summer or maybe resort where Lilly Pulitzer first debuted their colored denim, and I've been obsessed ever since.  I've been dying for pink jeans, but since I live a million miles away from a Lilly store I've been afraid to spend all that money on them, and to be honest I probably wouldn't spend $148 on a pair of pink jeans anyway since they are definitely not a staple.

These are the ones that I really am dying for .
They can be found at Lilly Pulitzer for $148.
I think I'll put them on my birthday list!

I found this picture yesterday that definitely made me swoon even harder.It's the jeans I've been loving plus the cutest headband I've ever seen.I think this would be perfect with a white button up and flats.

The headband is from http://www.etsy.com/shop/LWhelanDesigns .  I have to have one but I can't decide which print, probably the one above.  Be careful though; once you start looking at the etsy shop you will find  tons of things you need!

These are from Target.  I kind of think that with something that could look crazy anyway like pink pants that you might need high quality to keep from looking like a 6 year old, but then again they always say not to invest in a trend.  I think I'll try them on today on my Target run and see what I think.

These are also Lilly.  I love this whole outfit!

Another thing I love about colored denim is that it gives me an opportunity to try out another trend I've been loving, chambray shirts!  I've been wanting a chambray shirt for a while but I am too afraid to wear one with jeans.

I already have white jeans and how cute is this!

This whole outfit is from J. Crew.
Love it all!

So what do you think of colored denim? 

Love it or hate it?

More Lilly

I have some more Lilly in my closet that I haven't worn yet but got great deals on and wanted to share.  I took the pictures with me wearing them but I had just come in from the rain so I look crazy.

I actually have worn this one.  I wore it on Valentine's Day.
I got it on my Charleston trip for like $70ish!

I got this one to wear to my cousin's wedding.
It was also around $70.

This is what the detailing looks like up close.

I got this at the New Year's Cheer sale for around $70, too.
I also bought it to wear at my cousin's wedding lol.

This one I got at Belk for super cheap.
I have no idea where I'm going to wear it.

This one is exactly the same as the last one.

$53.98 and then take an additional 40% off!!!

This is what it looks like on.
I took pictures of myself in both of them,
 but I looked so terrible I couldn't use them.

This was at about 3 PM.
See how icky it was yesterday!

Special Occasion Lilly

Lilly Pulitzer has been there for me a lot, but especially in the last year.  I had several major life events and what else to wear but Lilly!

I wore this to my nursing pinning ceremony

This is the dress I wore to my graduation

Zach's cat likes it too.  It's yellow seersucker!

I wore this to my brother's awards ceremony.
He graduated high school with a 4.0

I wore this to his graduation.

WEDDING DRESS!

The detail on the bottom of the dress

Wedding Shoes!

Zach got me this for Christmas, so I wore it
Christmas Day! 

There's one more I want to add, but I can't get it to go in the right place so I guess I'll put it in the next post.
