Lilly Part 2


 Part 2 of the uber special secret Lilly sneak peak!!
TOO CUTE!! the stripes are amazing!!

I like this, wish it had buttons but I like it.

possibly one of my top 3 favorite pattern from the collection, and
i love it in a skinny jean. I'll have to try these on to
see how they look on someone with normal sized legs :)

OMG, OMG OMG! Lilly McKimms in hot pink.
yes yes yes!!



review: hmmmm... I can't really decide what I think of the collection as a whole. there are some cute pieces that I would most definitely wear but there are also some real (excuse my french) fugly pieces too. The fact that they are adding studs or jewels or whatever those cheap pieces of plastic that are clinging to the treasured shift dress is atrocious. The prints are cute but i feel as though the colors are out of sorts for Lilly, I mean since when does Lilly do neon skinny ankle zipper jeans? Now don't get me wrong those jeans are super cute but I just wouldn't expect that from Lilly as they usually take the more traditional route. This collection has a more 'kate spade' feeling too it, just with the use of bows, and metallic tweed, which i find a little overwhelming, as I thought one dress would of been totally fine without the giant bow on the front of it, and in my opinion that said bow ruined the dress.  It's a fun collection no doubt i just feel as though recently Lilly has been different, this may be due to the new ownership but I want the old Lilly back as those pieces were things you couldn't find any where else! So I guess I like the collection I'm not head over heels and I know that the items I love so will anyone else with decent taste, which means they will not be at the warehouse sale, so I may have to pay retail GRRRRRR. For all of y'all who know me I almost never pay retail, I think that something are worth paying retail for like Jack or all of my J.crew shorts I payed retail for, because they only go on sale in august and at that point summers almost over so there is no point in buying  shorts. Other items though like most of my designer jeans and my ridding boots I get on sale, because I just don;t get why you would pay retail if you don't have to. In fact one of the most fashionable women I know tells me she always has the sales associates at Ralph put things aside for her until they are 50% off not because she can't afford it but because she is a bargain hunter by nature and can't justify paying 1,500 dollars for riding boots no matter  how scrumptious they are. so back on topic I like the collection it's different than I expected but maybe I'll find something I love in stores that I thought was hideous online. Who knows?
