very cute!

I have seen the sorority prints and they are sweet.

I love the whole idea of Lilly, but I do have to say the quality of things are not the best for the price. It is best to wait for sales which are easy to be found.

Lilly quality has definitely declined through time and it is sad. I do like many things, but I have come to the conclusion I have to be a bit selective on what I purchase. I have learned what things stay nice for the price and what doesn't.

The downfall of my wardrobe is online shopping. There are times that I keep an item that isn't very well made because I don't want to pay the shipping costs to send it back and then wait 10-54343294839209 days for them to take the charge off of my credit card.

For $100+ dollars, I expect the garment to be well made and to last. Lilly isn't the only one that has been cutting corners on quality. It's frustrating.

I love lilly, but avoid buying at full price. I always go to the warehouse sales (thankfully I don't live too far) where almost all dresses are at most $99. I have some from almost 4 years ago that are in great shape and just went this past year and got virtually all the clothes I wore for my convention. If you don't know about the warehouse sale, you should. It's like christmas coming two times a year.

A bit much but cute for a themed party.

darling!

and i agree that lilly is worth buying when it is on sale-the only way i buy it. luckily, down here in south florida i have several options on where to shop for lilly here in town.

i saw a lilly jeep last week. i believe the owner owns one of the stores that sells lilly. it was very cute. i would love to know how they painted it-it looked like a factory paint job, even with the intricate pink and green pattern.

I've seen a Lilly jeep here in Columbia (SC) as well!

I just love the bright patterns of Lilly dresses. Perfect for Spring/Summer! :] We have a local boutique that always has amazing sales for Lilly Pulitzer items.

Also, we used Lilly prints for letters on our jerseys this past year & painted the wooden letters for bid day to match. We got a ton of compliments on them! I think I posted pictures of it under the Bid Day pictures..

We had a Lilly rep at our Founder's Day luncheon today (the daughter of one of our alumnae works for Lilly). She was showcasing the sorority lines and I have to say, all four of them are adorable in person. I would LOVE to have the Kappa scarf, but not for $118.

I just got my Lilly make up bag in the Kappa print. I wasn't sold on the print until I saw it in person. It's really cute! I may or may not ask for the bag for a Christmas gift. It's much bigger than I thought it was and I really have no idea why I would need a bag that big.

The bag is nice, but it is too large for a tote bag for daily use, but too small to really use to pack things for a getaway. I think it needed to be either smaller or much larger. I don't think it was thought out enough.

Definitely. It's a pretty decent size for a beach bag, but I'm not going to spend $88 for a sand trap. If I end up getting it, I think it's an appropriate size for an overnight bag. It looks like it could fit pajamas, a change of clothes and toiletries. Other than that, I probably wouldn't use it much.

Lilly Pulitzer SALE started today and there are tons of cute dresses on the website. Loads of white dresses too.
