unexpected tuesday post: Lilly

Happy tuesday!
I hope your sitting with your windows wide open, blowing in a nice cool breeze as you drink your morning tea/coffee! 

What was your reaction to the amazing lady who dared 
to mix colors with adventurous patterns death?

It automatically lead me to Pinterest search some quotes of hers.


I had a blain blast and realized that my mom used to constantly dress me in Lilly, and when I was younger I thought it was cute because she bought us matching patterns. As I entered middle school, dealing with kids who only knew of clothing only by the names of Hollister, Justice, and Abercrombie, I knew that Lilly wouldn't be acceptable. I told my mom how I thought it was 'stupid' looking and I never wanted to be caught wearing these clothes. Booooooyyy was I wrong

I would totally post a picture of me in Lilly but I have no access to old photos since I'm at school....but I totally will as soon as I get home and have a chance to look through things!

I love that today, I always find myself pinning the newest Lilly dress to using my super cute Lilly 'you gotta regatta' large agenda. (You can find it here!) Being that I am a broke college student, I think the right choice is for me to save up until I can buy a summer Lilly dress...like this one! (I love the design on the bottom!)

Her legend will forever remain...what a lady, may she rest in peace!

Green || Spring 13

Happy April! I'm probably the least risky when it comes to trying different patterns, colors, and styles in my clothing. I all too often favor the simplicity of black, grey, and blue&white striped shirts. Howeverrrr, I do own a pair of emerald green pants which I'm so happy I wore to bring in weather changes (read: warmer weather)!

I was feeling preeeeetty risky...

but overall I got so many compliments...and lets be real so many double taps (likes) on my instagram upload. I bought this gem (get it?!) at a local marshall's, priced anywhere from 15-20 dollars. I hate to spend a lot on pants so there is absolutely NO way I would have paid anymore for them. 
Here are some other great emerald products I found and am ready to put it in my virtual shopping cart!
