A bit about Lilly Pulitzer

Fun and Chic in Lilly Pulitzer

Lilly Pulitzer wear is always at Chic Envy. Right now, there is an amazing wool pea coat with a pink plaid interior on the coat rack and a matching pink plaid skirt on the skirt rack.

“Is this Black or Navy?” That is the biggest question in the store. When it is my wardrobe and I ask myself if it is black or navy….I end up saying, “Who Cares?” Really, black and navy both match with every other color. If I have to look that hard, so does everyone else. The excellent Lilly Pulitzer pea coat at Chic Envy is a size 4 and it is NAVY. ( I mean Dark Blue…..GO ARMY!)  The fun, bright colors and patterns indicative of Lilly Pulitzer are making their way into Chic Envy’s Spring line already.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck in Lilly Pulitzer

There are several things Christina Crawford (that’s me) has in common with Lilly Pulitzer. We each have two sisters, our birthdays are 2 days apart (and 33 years), and we both went to college in New York. We love color and cotton. We each have three children.  And, we were both digging the preppy look in the 80′s. Isn’t it fun what you can find out from Wikipedia? If nothing else, this time, I’ve bonded with the famous Lilly Pulitzer. I love that her clothing is so popular in Fairfax County. Her style brings a bit of Palm Beach up to Virginia….and we wear it well. Come in continually throughout the Springtime and Summertime to discover what fun “Lilly” items we have in stock.

Thanks for reading the blog today. Enjoy a blessed day!
