Southern Belles love Lilly Pulitzer

Southern women tend to wear alot of Lilly. Lilly Pulitzer, school-mate of Jacqueline Kennedy, and Palm Beach orange-stand grand-stander. Maybe that is because a good number of Belles also join sororities and graduate to junior league and the country club? Be that as it may, Lilly's bright florals are a Southern trademark for any SEC football match or barbecue. We don't do the little black dress unless someone died. I recommend pairing one a-line Lilly sundress with a strand of pearls and Tory Burch sandals in case you are new to wearing Lilly. A gross-grain ribbon bow in the hair wouldn't hurt one too much either I figure.

 If you can't afford Lilly?: Find something just as bright and cheery. Florals in neon bright shades always charm a Southerner. Once you learn to work the brights and prints, only then may you entertain the thought of touching a parasol.
