love letters

I'm not usually a Lilly Pulitzer Person.  Hot pink giraffes are cute on zee kidlets, but not so much on grown women, in my humble opinion.  That said, I spied this shift on RueLaLa and thought it was pretty cute... whimsical, but still.... mature? I mean, yes, there are a few {well-placed, thank god}} gigantic pink lip prints on it, but I dig the different font prints and the typewriter.

Ootd

I even discovered a little Valentine to good ol' Wake Forest...

Just discovered a WFU Shoutout on my new dress!
Navy "Love Letter" Dress - Lilly Pulitzer via RueLaLa

    I LOVE this dress...the color (one of my favorites) and the print! I could see this with a pink skinny belt, too.

    Of course I adore this dress, but I love lots of Lilly! I have a few of the more subtle dresses that are actually great for work. ;)

    Love! I got this dress too - planning to wear it for my couple's shower in August. :) Thought the 'love' theme was appropriate. I like how you substituted the sash for a belt -- I may have to try that.

    @alicia - I just looked at my RLL account history - the dress is actually called the "Jolie" dress. I found it available for sale here:
