It's ironic that my second post ever, also known as my {disclaimer} post, I warned reader's that despite having "Prep" in the title of my blog, there would be no barrage of Lilly Pulitzer pink and green. However, I will unapologetically admit that Lilly creeps in here quite often, perhaps because the clothes (and quite frankly the Lilly culture) was a large part of my childhood. I remember many summer nights romping around in pink and green shift dresses. In fact, my first job at the ripe old age of 14 was folding clothes in a Lilly boutique.
Yesterday, Lilly Pulitzer Rousseau died in Palm Beach at 81 years of age. She brought so much color to my childhood summers that I could not pass up a chance to pay her tribute. I've included a gallery of photos in my Lilly Pulitzer wardrobe. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a picture of me sporting Lilly overalls (both short and long, embarrassingly enough) but I am sure it will surface in the near future. And finally, a quote from Lilly Pulitzer herself, "Make every day a celebration, and every hour a happy hour." May you rest in peace.
