As any Lilly Pulitzer lover knows, Lilly is more than just a fashion statement.
1. You know the whole story of the brand (and you like telling it to other people).
You don't know what Lilly Pulitzer is? Let me tell you the whole story..... It all started with a juice stand.
2. You can name the prints just by glancing.
You know the difference between the original and new color-ways of prints like Jellies Be Jammin' and can even identify prints that are over 10 years old.
3. You struggle to style Lilly in the colder months, but wear it anyways.
Since Lilly doesn't really make pieces with black or brown, you really have to work to style it in the late fall and winter. That doesn't stop you though!
4. You have a countdown to the After Party Sales in August and January.
You also know all about the thrills of the digital line only being a few people long or the pain of the website crashing, but it's all worth the sale prices.
5. The pain it brings when someone spells the brand name wrong.
It's Lilly, not Lily.
6. You are a member of multiple Lilly Pulitzer Buy/Sell/Trade groups on Facebook.
They're like your second home. They help you style outfits, find deals on older prints and always seem to get the inside scoop on what's going on at the Pink Palace.
7. You make a point to tell others about how flattering the shift dresses are.
Most of the shift dresses are flattering no matter your body type and that makes Lilly look super stylish on anyone.
8. You can spot a Lilly Lover from a mile away.
If she's wearing Lilly, she's definitely friend material.
9. You've made friends with the sales people at your local corporate or signature store(s).
You know where to get sale lists from, who will give you the inside scoop on the next collection and are just generally close with the Lilly team members.
10. When you travel, you look for places that sell Lilly.
Never been somewhere? Better scour the internet for all the corporate stores, signature stores and boutiques. Just because you're going somewhere new doesn't mean you can't score some Lilly as well.
11. When people say your outfit is too bright.
Is that even a real thing?
12. You've probably attempted to paint a print on something.
Many of us have tried it, but not all of us can do it. Better just leave it to the crafty experts on Etsy.
13. You hate when people call ladies who wear Lilly "basic sorority girls".
You're just jealous of our boldness. Also, half of us have never even been in a sorority?
14. You have a section in your closet dedicated to Lilly.
The collection belongs together.
15. Wearing Lilly makes you genuinely happy.
On rainy or bad days, the brightness of Lilly can really cheer you up.
