Feeling at home in FL in Lilly Pulitzer & Jack Rogers

Silk dress:  Lilly Pulitzer, 2009
Rio navajo sandals in turquoise/gold:  Jack Rogers, here
Earrings:  Banana Republic, summer 2012

Lilly Pulitzer and Jack Rogers feel more "right" in Florida than anywhere else to me.  Lilly Pulitzer created her whimsically printed shift dresses in Palm Beach, FL around the year 1960.  Jackie O.  wore both Lilly Pulitzer dresses and Jack Rogers sandals frequently while in Florida and around the world, hence the iconic legend of both labels.  (Did you know Jackie O and Lilly Pulitzer were boarding school friends? Interesting right?)

Much warmer today, on the beach and this evening.  So glad I could finally wear a pretty dress.  Merry Christmas Eve-Eve!  Thanks for reading.

  4. Great dress--- I agree, LP is perfect for Florida! I actually bought my very first LP item (a skirt) after being inspired by you and another blogger's LP outfits. I'm looking forward to wearing it when the weather gets warmer.

    Enjoy FL and Happy Holidays!
