National Wear Your Lilly Day + $8 Sandals

Sunday, June 21, 2015

Hi dolls! So today is a special day...First of all, it's Father's Day, so Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there! Secondly, it's National Wear Your Lilly Day. Thirdly, it is officially the first day of summer! So there are many reasons to celebrate today. 

By now, I'm sure you've all figured out I'm a big fan of the Lilly Pulitzer Wiley ruffle tube top. I ordered it in three different prints. The most recent one that I ordered from the Lilly website was the one in "Capri Pink Samba". The print is gorgeous! This is definitely one of my favorite Lilly prints this summer. Thinking of getting more Lilly items in this print!


I'm also loving these strappy toe-loop sandals that I found on a shopping trip to Forever 21 to pick up some summer essentials. I like the color, because it's kind of a mix of gold and silver, making it easy to pair them with different outfits and jewelry. The best part is they were less than $9! At that price, I couldn't pass them up. Unfortunately, they are sold out online, but you might be able to snag them at your local Forever 21 (I found a number of pairs hanging on a shoe rack). You can dress them up or down and they're fairly comfortable considering the price, making them a great summer staple. FYI: They might run slightly small, so consider sizing up.

Hey everyone! I'm very excited about this post, because I got a chance to collaborate with one of my Instagram besties and fellow instablogger, Kristen (@kleighstyle). Check out her account on Instagram if you haven't already, because she has amazing style! We were both lucky enough to snag the "See Ya Later" shift dress from the Lilly for Target collaboration, so we thought it'd be fun to wear them on the same day and share how we styled them.

Shell Me About It!

Monday, June 8, 2015

Hey all, happy Monday! Today's post is all about my new favorite summer top-- the Wiley ruffle tube top from Lilly Pulitzer. This week I found out there's a new signature Lilly Pulitzer store less than 15 minutes away from where I live, so you better believe I'll be making frequent trips there. :-) I had been eyeing the Wiley ruffle tube top on the Lilly website for about a week now, so I jumped at the chance to try it on in the store to get a feel for the sizing. I ended up buying it in the "shell me about it" pattern, but I also pre-ordered it in "capri pink samba" on the website. I absolutely love this top and it is so perfect for summer! It's bright, fun, girly, and very versatile. 

As far as sizing is concerned, I read reviews online before going to the store so I had a basic idea of what I was looking for. To confirm those reviews, I would definitely go up a size or two, depending on how you like the fit. I am usually a size x-small in Lilly tops, but I sized up to a medium because the band on top is pretty tight. I also have fairly broad shoulders, otherwise I might have been able to make a small work. A medium just felt more comfortable and the band didn't dig in. The bottom part of the tube top was a little loose, but considering it's 100% cotton I can always shrink it a bit. 


So if you haven't thought about getting a Wiley ruffle tube top, I definitely think you should consider it! ;-) It really is a very flattering top on all sizes and body types. You can also dress it up for a girls night out or dress it down for work or to run errands. Get it, you'll love it!

xoxo, Britt
