This may sound a little harsh, but I just want to be honest with you: you're better off either buying new Lilly or not wearing Lilly at all. Your Lilly is cute, but honestly a lot of women will be wearing dresses from more recent seasons, and you don't want to stand out in a bad way (especially in the South, and in Charleston of all places... they will know). I really like your yellow dress and think it would be great for Day 3! I think the Pref dress is a little too conservative, and maybe a little busy. I would say either choose a similar cut or a similar print, but not both. A skirt/top combo may be more appropriate for Day 2, and would be a great way to slip some Lilly in (with a skirt), without being the girl that wears too many florals.

The more I think about it, the more I'm leaning towards the yellow solid for day two over the Lilly. You kind of sealed the deal for me. I think it is too busy with the other dresses that I have picked. I do have a nice shirt/skirt combo that I could exchange for day two and move the yellow to day three. I can post a pic of that combo just to make sure it would be okay. Before going out and buying anything else new I'm going to wait and have my Pi Chi come over and see what I have that would be doable.
