Lilly and Lace

I wouldn't consider my personal style overtly preppy. Sure, I own a few cardigans and occasionally wear a polo shirt, but I'm just as likely to don a large boho bag and loose tunic.

One of my friends emailed me about this gorgeous Lilly Pulitzer dress and if only it wasn't outrageously expensive, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

It's definitely chic, in a Jackie-O way. I love the flirty hemline and demure sleeve-length, accented by the sheer quality of the lace. It's a perfect example of how a black dress is elevated by texture.

Now if only it would go on sale...
