Styling Lilly Pulitzer Into Your Everyday Wardrobe

Show of hands, who loves bright, happy and colorful style? I know I absolutely do! Lilly Pulitzer encompasses everything that I feel when I think of summer style! From the exotic prints to the vibrant colors, Lilly Pulitzer not only brightens my look but brightens my day and puts a smile on my face! Lilly Pulitzer is a clothing trend that I did not fall madly in love with until recently, When I did, I fell hard! My family and friends know me well enough to know that in the summer time, they can expect me to show up to an event In my bright and happy Lilly Pulitzer patterns. This brand is also not a style that you see every other person wearing in this part of the country. Living in Memphis, Tennessee, I am not located along the gulf coast or east coast (You can expect to see a lot more individuals wearing the Lilly Pulitzer brand in a more coastal and tropical setting). So, it may seem almost out of place to some to wear clothing items that are so bright and such a statement. Perhaps, one of my most favorite ways to wear this brand is to incorporate pieces of it into my typical wardrobe, everyday wardrobe. Shown below, I will share some ways in which I do just that!

What to Wear With Keds Sneakers

For the longest time, Converse were my go to sneaker. I literally wore the 4 or 5 pairs of Converse I had into the ground. They had holes, they were dirty, and they were 7 years old. Needless to say, when I graduated college I didn’t bother bringing them home with me. They met their new best friend, the trashcan. As sad as it was back then, it lead to my new best friend, Keds sneakers.Now this isn’t to say I won’t ever wear Converse every again (I’m actually on the hunt for a pair). I’ve just only bought Keds and Nikes since graduating. While I love my Nikes for comfort, they don’t exactly look the best with every outfit. Keds sneakers on the other hand are comfortable and look great with just about everything honestly. So today I wanted to share a few ways to style Keds just to prove that they really can be the perfect shoe with every outfit.

DIY Embroidered Flare Jeans

Jeans are my favorite wardrobe staple. I wear jeans almost every day, and just about all them are skinny jeans. But it has been a great year to try different styles, like all the wide leg cropped pieces I’ve been making ( here and here), and I have a whole box of secondhand jeans from ThredUp to create with!ThredUp sent me a denim rescue box for another project, but since the box is 50 lbs of denim, I have a lot of jeans to work with! Rescue boxes are filled with unaccepted items for resale and unsold jeans from the site. In my box, there are a lot of jeans in great condition that are not my size and I plan on donating them. Since it is a rescue box, quite a few of the pairs are stretched out, or stained; completely unwearable in their current condition. I went through the box and there were a few pairs in my size, two that look and feel great! One is a pair of black skinny jeans, which I’ve been wanting for a while, and the other was this pair of Levis, which fit great except for the length! I was going to do a simple hem, but I thought this would be a fun moment to try something new.
