Attention, prepsters! Today is June 21st– the first official day of summer, aka National Wear Your Lilly Day! To celebrate, Lilly Pulitzer is giving away an adorable free pendant necklace with any purchase or a sticky note set and pendant necklace with any purchase of $150 or more, which, as any Lilly Pulitzer fan already knows, isn’t exactly a difficult total to reach. Now would be a great time to stock up on adorable shift dresses, sun hats, and beach cover-ups for all the hot pool days ahead. 

In preparation for my road trip to Charleston for the Southern Blog Society conference next weekend, I’ve got quite a few of Lilly’s designs in my sights. My birthday is also in exactly one week, and one of my annual gifts to myself is a new Lilly dress. Here are my favorites– and what a better day than National Wear Your Lilly Day to commit to depleting my bank account than today?

If you need a little extra outfit inspiration, check out this classic nautical stripe t-shirt dress and quite possibly the cutest tie belt romper of all time. Now go combine the awesomeness of National Wear Your Lilly Day with the first day of summer by hanging out by the pool, sipping mimosas, and ordering clothes online. It’s the least you can do to show respect for this nationwide annual celebration. Happy Summer Solstice!
