Gotta love shortened holiday weeks!
I hope you had a great 4th of July and are enjoying summer thus far.
Those that follow along on Instagram, know that I've partnered with Ronald McDonald House of Richmond again this year to promote their Lilly Pulitzer Give Back event that is this Saturday, July 8 from 12:00 - 5:00 pm at the Lilly Pulitzer Short Pump store!
I'll be there at noon for styling tips if you want to shop with me!
Allison, their Director of Development and my friend, and I had a great time last weekend visiting the store and styling looks. I've put together a little preview for those of you that are in town and might be able to stop by.
First up, is my favorite look! I browsed online before meeting Allison and knew I HAD to try on this dress!
The Rylan Silk Maxi Dress would be perfect for any summer soiree, especially one that involves dancing! The silk adds elegance to the bold print and the flowy cut makes this dress extra comfy! It runs true to size.
Next, I wanted to find a look that would be appropriate for both work and play. Summertime is full of happy hours and fun events, and it's nice when you can go straight from work to a social outing without changing your clothes!
I love the versatility of the wrap above! It adds instant chic to an outfit and can be thrown over a tank when you're in the office and then ditched when you're ready for a night out! The Kelly Dinner Pants are perfect for when you want to wear white jeans, but the occasion calls for something just a bit more formal. They also have good stretch, which I find to be a key component to make any pair of white jeans or pants flattering. All pieces run true to size.
I also wanted to make sure you could see how super
cute the "Paradise Pink Bohemian Beach" print on the top is!
Last, but not least, I was sure to get a casual look styled. Shorts with a fun top and wedges are one of my go-to summer looks and Lilly shorts are my very favorite, so I knew where to start!
I am in love with these cobalt blue scalloped shorts! I might just have to get them as a part of this weekend's promotion! The scallops add both a dose of cute and a dose of sophistication! This big tote bag would also be perfect for a summer getaway. The shorts run true to size, but the top runs large. I am wearing a small in this picture, and would have sized down to an extra small, if they had it in store.

And last but not least, I wanted to take the chance to talk some staple accessories with you! You'll notice that I am wearing the same accessories with all 3 of these different looks. I actually packed a couple pair of earrings to switch things up while styling, but then felt no need. These pieces are tried and true and have been favorites for years now:
I am guaranteed to get compliments whenever I wear these
and they are lightweight, which is even better!
Bryce gave me this bracelet for my birthday 4 or 5 years ago and I have worn it non-stop since!
It is a timeless style and can be easily stacked with other bracelets or a watch.
This cuff can be dressed up or dressed down and makes a statement while still being delicate!
I wear mine multiple times a week.
These sandals (which are under $30, by the way!) are my favorite!
I love them so much, I actually bought a second pair on sale at the end of last summer.
I may even buy a 3rd since they brought them back again this summer. They literally go with everything and are incredibly comfortable. Can't recommend enough...I wear mine at least 3-4 times a week!
Have you bought any Lilly yet this summer?
Have a great weekend!
