Three Cheers for the red, white and blue! Show your patriotic pride in Lilly Pulitzer!

Date: 07/02/2012

Good morning Lilly Lovers! First, the Pelican Girls would like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who came out and celebrated with us on Saturday! We had so much fun! Look for a blog with pictures and a recap and if YOU snapped any pics, post them on our Facebook Page--we'd love to see them!

Today, we're going to share a couple of our picks for showcasing your patriotic pride in Lilly Pulitzer. Get ready to sparkle and glow.

Last year it was Cherry Bomb and this year it's Sparkle Glow but these aren't the first patriotic prints designed by the team at Lilly. In 1976, Lilly produced a print for the bicentennial of the United States.

Sparkle Glow has been a huge seller this summer BUT we do still have a few pairs of Lilly Pulitzer Sparkle Glow Callahans and Lilly Pulitzer Little Callahan Shorts in Sparkle Glow in-stock. If you missed out on this print or want a more subtle way to be patriotic in Pulitzer, here's some of our picks to get you set for fun on the Fourth.

Make short work of summer style in the Lilly Pulitzer Callahan Shorts in Ahoy There ($68) paired with our favorite summer top the Lilly Pulitzer Cleo Top in Azalea Pink ($68). (Navy and white are also great options; we were just partial to how the pink popped!)

Fourth fashion is easy with the Lilly Pulitzer Zizi Dress in Navy Line 'em Up ($128). Figure flattering, fashionable AND it has pockets? We love this dress. It also comes in Azalea Pink. For footwear, go comfy and add some shimmer with the Lilly Pulitzer McKim Sandal in Gold with a Padded Footbed ($88). Trust us, your feet will thank you!

Scallops and stripes? The Lilly Pulitzer Patti Shorts in Ahoy Seersucker ($74) are the perfect pick for any summer celebration. Leg lenthenging and waist whittling with a back zipper. These shorts just need a simple top like the Lilly Pulitzer Lexie Crew in True Navy ($40) allowing you to accessorize with the Lilly Pulitzer Summer Classics Necklace ($48). To make legs look even longer, pair these shorts with the Lilly Pulitzer McKim High Wedge in Silver or Gold.

If you want to have a little flounce and femininity for your Fourth, the Pelican Girls suggest the Lilly Pulitzer Flor Dress in Oh Buoy ($148). It's flirty, feminine and fun!

Guys can join the colorful celebration. The Pelican Girls are tickled pink that the Pink Palace team offered some options for guys this season. The Lilly Pulitzer Mens Jack Polo in True Navy ($78) pairs perfectly with khakis or if your guy likes it Lilly or louder, the Lilly Pulitzer Mens Fitz Shorts in Sailor's Patch ($98). Coordinate and celebrate colorfully! The Lilly Pulitzer Marigold Skort in Sailor's Patch ($108) is a picture-perfect pick for ANY summer celebration or occasion.

Need even more inspiration? Check our Patriotic Pulitzer Board on Pinterest or shop our 4th of July selections online. As always, the Pelican Girls want YOU! Share a photo of you or your family wearing Lilly for the fourth to be entered to win a little something from The Pink Pelican. Share the picture on our Facebook Page before midnight CST on July 5 and one lucky Lilly Lover will be randomly selected to win a "Pulitzer Prize." Easy peasy!

The Pelican Girls spied this on Pinterest this morning and thought it was too cute! Celebrate your liberty in Lilly!
