Lilly Pulitzer Anyone?

KillarneyRose · #1 03-23-2003, 09:08 PM

Do you ladies like Lilly dresses? I bought 6 of the most adorable Lilly dresses for a trip my hubby and I are taking to Puerto Rico next month and when I brought them home he basically told me he thought they were ugly. "Butt-ugly" to be exact.

I know they're really brightly colored, but I LOVE my Lillies! Anyone else?

I own a Kate Spade for Lilly Pulitzer tote bag:

That is an adorable bag! I think Lilly is a perfect match for AKA's and DZ's what with all the pink and green she uses

Some of the Lillys are cool, particularly those little polo shirts. I tend to like my P&G in solids.

I'm not familiar with the desiner. Are there pictures on her website of the dresses you bought? Maybe you could post them here and let us be the judge.

I'd doubt anything you bought would be "butt-ugly"

I love Lily Pulitzer stuff. Maybe men just don't like it because they don't like flowers???

Lily Pulitzer is probably one of my most favorites ever. I just love all that pink!

But from what I have experienced, guys don't like bright colors. Any piece of clothing or outfit a boyfriend has ever picked out for me has been mainly black. It's peculiar

I think Lilly's clothes are wicked cute, but my boyfriend thinks they are too bright..."flourescent", to be exact. Stupid guys--what do they know? I bet you'll look awesome--I wish I could get 6 Lilly dresses!

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Amy!

Here's a link that includes the dresses I bought. They are the "Elsie", "Celia", "Cocktail Dress", "Dani", "Nina" and "Staci" dresses, so you can judge for yourself.

Please pay particular attention to the "Elsie" dress which he said looks like a tablecloth

I have to admit, I don't get it either. I like things like this as accessories, (shoes and handbags) but I would never put them all over my body - even if I were a size two.

I like some of Lilly's stuff...pink and green

I can never find anything that fits very well though!

I think she's an acquired taste.

I don't like most of the Lilly stuff, but that's simply because I'm not a fan of colors that bright or large prints, and she uses both in abundance.

I think it might have something to do with where you grew up, too. Here in the Midwest I don't know anybody that's even heard of her, let alone wears the clothes, but most of the East Coasters I know consider Lilly a fashion staple.

Just chalk it up to the fact that most guys will never understand fashion.

OMG! Bermuda bags! I was just at The Bay yesterday looking for a new spring purse, and I was totally fiending for a Bermuda bag... the people there just looked at me crosseyed - they'd never heard of them.

I wonder if this store delivers to Canada....

How in the world do you ladies afford these dresses? I can never imagine speding over $100 on a sun dress! But then again, I have only been out of college for less than a year, and I have only been working in the "real world" for 6 months or so. But still, I don't think I would spend that much on a dress, but that's just my opinion!

THERE IS A LILLY PULITZER STORE IN PITTSBURGH NOW.

It's over on Walnut Street - ask Danielle, she was with me when I saw it and freaked out. Sephora and Lilly Pulitzer on the same street...talk about just open up the wallet and say the heck with it.

I like her clothes (not that I own any) because of the bright colors...I am sick to death of black and beige.
