Would a Lilly dress be too formal for spring rush?

[FSUGirl94]

I honestly have nothing in my closet that will do for this event. All of my sundresses are too summer-y. I would really like to buy a Lilly dress for Winterfest. I hate to be annoying, this will be the last time I post about this. I'm now between this:

I don't know what PNMs at FSU usually wear, but I think these may still be pushing the season a bit for Jan/Feb. It really will matter less what brand you buy than how you look in it (I really like Lilly, but you may want to avoid prints/patterns that either scream LP -- especially in winter -- or silhouettes that potentially look too 'mom').

Maybe go with something somewhat more simple and accessorize well? My dd has this dress (Lilly from fall season, but probably easy to find online). It is a sweater dress that can be accessorized differently (looks great belted -- could wear with a scarf -- or tights -- etc).





Looked it up -- it is the Helena Sweater dress. Even 2 results came up from Ebay -- for a lot less than it retailed for a few months ago.

Good luck -- you will probably arrive at the event and wonder why you worried about what to wear. : )
