Happy Fashion Friday!
As this is publishing the Hubs and I are getting ready to leave for a last minute mini-vacation to Key West! Last week's snow made us realize how badly we needed a little tropical get-away before his schedule gets crazy busy with tax season and we made it happen. I'm hoping to share some happenings on Instagram and Instagram Stories while we are away. I see sail boats, seafood, sunsets and rum in our future! I've also got some great stuff ready to publish early next week blog-wise so you will not miss out on your daily Running in a Skirt fun. And of course I'll share all the highlights on the blog when I get back.
In honor of my Florida trip I thought I'd style my favorite Florida brand of clothes, Lilly Pulitzer, for the weather we are actually dealing with in the mountains. I know the look is generally pretty summery, but I love finding ways to make the brand work for the cooler weather. I like to call it making winter sunny.
I actually got this dress in the fall and have been able to transition it to winter by adding navy leggings and a matching Lilly cardigan. And yes, I wore it on a "snow day" just to cheer myself up. I get a little crabby on day 3 or 4 with snow on the ground!
The color in this sweater is so luxurious. I got the sweater for Christmas and couldn't stop gushing about the color. It's pink perfection.
I just love this fun festive pattern. It really adds some beautiful color to a cold winter day. Now in the sake of full disclosure I picked up these items when my local store was having a sale, but unfortunately Lilly does not keep things marked down online. They just have once a season markdowns that only last for a short window. These same items are still available online if you want them though!
Regardless, I swear it's impossible to be in a bad mood when wearing this stuff and the iconic patterns are worth the splurge in my opinion!
I hope y'all like the outfit and have an amazing weekend. I'll be sending warm vibes your way.
