If there was one designer I never thought I would wear, Lilly Pulitzer would be it. As a girl that only recently embraced any color other than black, white, and certain shades of grey, Pulitzer’s designs are foreign to me. Unfortunately, head to toe black for a summer date night is not really an option.

I love the fun of going out, but not necessarily the prep. This is where a summer dress comes in, because it’s as easy as day to night. I’ve mentioned my beloved white Birkenstocks before, but they make the perfect day shoe. Before dinner, I switched into nude wedges and added a fun clutch.

Sometimes, accessories can be as simple as glowing skin and a simple piece of jewelery. I might be able to help you out with that, because you can check out my Instagram and enter to win a HUGE giveaway haul. May the odds be ever in your favor!
