Lilly Pulitzer Sorority Prints expanding!

[AZTheta]

well... honestly, I do not care for what Lilly came up with for Theta. Displeased with the color combo and the design of the pansy (is that what it is supposed to be?).

Yeah, Theta and Alpha Phi are the two that left me scratching my head the most. I mean, with black and gold, there are inherent limits, but what's with the aqua color? Where are the twin stars? What about the eagle with a kite in it's beak?

And why are the forget-me-nots in the Alpha Phi pattern pink? Maybe Theta could have offered up some of that blue...

Well, money talks.

It's definitely a pansy. Look at the flower with the yellow around it as one unit. The blue...meh. I am not a fan of any of the patterns, though. You'd think they would have gone for more of the traditional colors for Theta and APhi, though. ChiO's pattern hurts my eyes. I can't tell what ADPi's pattern is...just a blue blur. I like DG's the best, although, I can only see the anchor.

I'm trying, I'm trying.

If you see the ADPi pattern in the right size, you can see the crest, stars, lions, and violets. I do like it.

I like most of them - the Theta pansies look a little splotchy to me, but it's not my business whether or not I like it - the Thetas get to have their own opinions!

Well, I am not blown away by the design, but I don't mind it either. I will def purchase something in the print.

I can see the pansy, although you are correct that it doesn't look exactly like a pansy. However, it doesn't bother me.

As for the blue, I am envisioning that it is the sky that our kites are soaring against. If I look at it that way, I am not offended that a random color was added. Black and gold/yellow was going to be a stretch anyway... we knew that going in!

All in all I am okay with it, and look forward to seeing what I can put on my birthday/Christmas list this year.

Brilliant! You are so smart. That is exactly why it's blue.
Total blonde moment.

I thought of that as well. Lilly would not do a black or gray background (and then, the kites wouldn't pop) and the pansies wouldn't pop against a yellow/gold background. Some stars would have been nice, though. It's pretty, it's just not as "Theta" as it could be.

Can't really see what is going on with ADPi's print. Maybe some purple for the violets (if there are any) or golden/tan/yellowish for lions would have broken up the monochromatic-ness?

Underwhelmed with DG's print. I agree, it doesn't really look like "Lilly". I was expecting a little more dimenson to the objects, like in the first batch of prints. It just looks so 2D. The anchors are so narrow and angular, they look like arrows. They look "stuck on" rather than "woven in". Not at all what I pictured they'd do for DG. I have such a pretty picture in my head, too bad I can't draw too well.

Love Chi Omega's. Well done to make it "Lilly" without butchering their true colors too badly. The pink and red blend. I was thinking it'd be JUST pink and yellow.

Alpha Phi's is pretty, but just doesn't look like Alpha Phi.

I like the Alpha Phi print but don't love it. Hot pink isn't one of our colors, but I suppose it IS Lilly. Somewhat disappointed.

love love love the chi o pattern! but i thought the dg pattern was the least lilly of them all. and i feel like they had the most potential...

I think this is why I like it. LOL

[glittergal1985]

I actually like all the prints,I think the DG one is my favorite. I do hope Lilly includes ALL the NPC groups in the next batch that comes out though.

[Greekgrrl]

I actually love the Theta print, and am quite fond of the Alpha Phi print as well. The DG print looks kind of meh to me though.

I think it's interesting how different reactions to these prints are!

[DeltaBetaBaby]

I must be blind, because the Chi Omega one is the only one in which I can actually see letters.

[ms_gwyn]

Ok, at first I didn't like any of the designs.....I do like the Alpha Phi, but the color bothers me.

Same with Theta, I like it but that blue....just bugs me, I know the sky for the kites to fly in but still....
