That Lilly Pultizer Dress - Wow

 I love, love, love this dress.  Shopped the thrift store and found this Lilly Pultizer Green dress for, ready for this, $20.00.  Yes lady's this is not a typo $20.00.  OMG.  I love the feel of the dress.  I love the color of the dress.  I love the chicness of this dress.  Most of all, I love the price of this dress. 

Lillian Pulitzer Rousseau (born Lillian Lee McKim on November 10, 1931), better known as Lilly Pulitzer, is a socialite and fashion designer. She is known for founding Lilly Pulitzer, Inc., which produces clothing and other wares featuring bright, colorful, floral prints. Because the brand has been very popular with high society, Lilly has been called the "Queen of Prep".

OK so back to the dress at hand.  I love the fact that is gathers at the bust line and the waist.  With this soft material, it hides a lot of flaws.  It also a very sexy look, but not overly sexy.  It fits my personality great.  Sassy and chic.  Great for the office or even a night out with the girls/man.   Now let's get to those shoes.  The shoes are from Emilio Pucci.  I didn't studder, I said Emilio Pucci:

Emilio Pucci, Marquess of Barsento (Italian pronunciation: [eˌmiːlio ˈpuʧːi]), (20 November 1914 – 29 November 1992) was a Florentine Italian fashion designer and politician. He and his eponymous company are synonymous with geometric prints in a kaleidoscope of colours.

I bought them at a thrift store for around $35.00 and they still had the new tags that said they were being sold for $227.00 at Zappos.  SCORE.  They are fabulous.  So comfortable and the multi color earth tones will got great with everything.  They are slingbacks and the heel is a 3 incher.  I love this outfit and the price is one of my best bargains.  Enjoy
