Lilly Pulitzer New Arrivals Roundup | Spring 2021

Amy Clackner — Thu, 22 Apr 2021 07:00:22 +0000

One of my favorite things about moving to Florida? Getting to rock a summer wardrobe all year long! When we lived in the northeast, the earliest I could get away with wearing a Lilly Pulitzer dress was the end of May (if that) so the fact that I can throw on a pair of shorts or a t-shirt dress and walk outside and not freeze to death is wild to me! Anyways, wanted to share a few recent Lilly things that have found a home in my closet. The new arrivals for spring are fantastic!

Casual Fall Outfit | Long Quilted Coat + Plaid Button Down Shirt

There’s nothing like fall in New England! I wore this look one day during our recent weekend getaway to Litchfield County, Connecticut and can’t think of a more perfect outfit for exploring farms and pumpkin patches with my boys. This long quilted coat is a new find from Nordstrom and has the perfect combination of warmth and weight– not too heavy and layers perfectly over a plaid shirt (another new Nordstrom buy!)

I found both while recently browsing Nordstrom’s exclusive Made brands– just head to Nordstrom.com and sort by Nordstrom Made to shop. I’m personally a big fan of Halogen, Treasure & Bond, Leith and BP!

Big thank you to Nordstrom for sponsoring this post!

Budget-Friendly Summer Dresses | June 2020

Happy hump day friends! This afternoon on my Instagram story I posted a try-on session featuring all of the budget-friendly summer dresses I’ve purchased recently. Most were scored on Amazon, though I have been having some luck finding styles that work with my bump at my go-tos like Nordstrom and ASOS. If you can believe it: all are priced under $65! Most were actually $45 or less

Every dress you see here is non-maternity! I just sized up 1-2x depending on the brand and fit. The sizing details for each are listed below! At the start of my pregnancy I was worried that I would be miserable having my third trimester fall during the summer months, but so far it’s actually been very convenient. Every morning I just throw on a stretchy maxi dress and call it a day! SO easy.

This scoop neck tank dress has incredibly soft fabric and the styling options are endless! You could easily dress it up or down depending on your accessories. I love how it looks with a high waist belt. I found this set of 3 for just $29!

OUTFIT DETAILS // Backless Maxi Dress (SIZE MEDIUM) | Buckle Sandals (avail in 6 colors!) | Dainty Bar Necklace | Watch | David Yurman Bracelets

Boho maxi dress goals! Available in 13 colors for just $29. Also can we talk about that strappy back? You can definitely get away without a bra with this one since the fabric around the bust is thick.

Another easy maxi dress that could be dressed up or down. I’m obsessed with the pockets and the print! PS it comes in 7 different patterns… I’m tempted to get another!

I actually bought this dress in navy last spring and loved it so much that I couldn’t resist snagging another! It comes in every color under the rainbow and is so comfortable. It has pockets too!

OUTFIT DETAILS // Floral Maxi Dress (SIZE US 6) | Buckle Sandals (avail in 6 colors!)

So many of you LOVED this dress when I first posted about it a few weeks ago… and for good reason! It’s soooo gorgeous and dreamy. I would wear this for so many occasions! A wedding, baby shower, bridal shower, maternity photos… The list goes on! Even though it has long sleeves, it’s still very lightweight and also fully-lined!

OUTFIT DETAILS // Ruffled Orange Maxi Dress (SIZE US 6) | Ankle Strap Sandals | Watch | David Yurman Bracelets

Another great long formal dress option for summer… The back is even prettier than the front!

OUTFIT DETAILS // Yellow Maxi Dress ((SIZE US 6 & on sale for $28) | Cutout Slide Sandals (avail in 5 colors) | Lilly Pulitzer Tote | Watch | David Yurman Bracelets

Run, don’t walk because this 100% cotton maxi dress is on sale for just $28!

OUTFIT DETAILS // Mint Lacey Dress (SIZE US 6) | Buckle Sandals (avail in 6 colors!) | High Waisted Belt (come in a set of 3 colors) | Watch | David Yurman Bracelets

I definitely didn’t need to size up with this midi dress. The fit is already oversized and has a stretchy waistline! Felllow preggos you could probably order your standard size or just one size up!

How chic is this ribbed sweater dress? I can’t believe it’s just $45! I added this belt above my bump, but it looks equally as good worn as a shift too.

OUTFIT DETAILS // Patterned Mini Dress (SIZE SMALL) | Buckle Sandals (avail in 6 colors!) | Dainty Bar Necklace | Watch | David Yurman Bracelets

This sweet little tunic dress comes in 7 different patterns for just $25! The reviews said it ran large so I ordered my normal size small– very good decision. Even with my bump it fits oversized so just a head’s up!

OUTFIT DETAILS // Pleated Rust Maxi Dress (SIZE US 6) | Buckle Sandals (avail in 6 colors!) | Watch | David Yurman Bracelets

Love this pleated maxi gown! This one would be gorgeous for any formal event. It has the prettiest strappy back too!

3 Ways To Wear Sperry Boat Shoes

Sperry Women’s Authentic Original Boat Shoes

Can anyone else remember the last time they wore a pair of heels? Me neither! In this new era of social distancing and #stayathome life I’ve only been wearing comfy flat shoes. Y’all know I’ve been such a fan of Sperry footwear for years so you can imagine my boat shoes have been getting a lot of use. Sperrys are the perfect shoe for the gal who wants to be comfortable, yet still look polished and preppy.

The iconic hand-sewn design is one that will never go out of style. You know that when you buy a pair of Sperry boat shoes, you can count on being able to wear ’em for years. I’m not much of a ballet flat gal anymore so my Sperrys are what I turn to anytime I want to wear a closed toe flat shoe. Another great perk? You can wear these in all seasons. The soles have wet/dry traction making them suitable for rainy weather!

To show you just how versatile one pair of Sperry original boat shoes can be, I decided to style three different outfits wearing mine. Over the years I’ve amassed Sperrys in multiple colors, but if you’re thinking of investing in one shade you can’t go wrong with a pair in the classic brown Sahara Leather that I’m wearing here.

My Sperry boat shoes in grey get a lot of use too! I love the cooler tone for spring and find it matches well with many of my dresses and athleisure looks! You can see two more recent outfits I’ve been rocking lately below.

Are you a Sperry gal too? What’s your go-to boat shoe color? PS they come in 5 colors!
