Lilly Pulitzer!

Here in the South, when someone mentions spring, most fashionistas automatically think LILLY PULITZER! And rightly so. Lilly's designs are fun, bright, and easy to wear! But, what most people don't know is that Lilly didn't intend to become a fashion designer or to be in women's closets everywhere!
 
Lilly and her husband, Peter, decided to make a life for themselves in Palm Beach, FL. Peter owned orange groves, and Lilly decided to open a juice stand.
 
While working her juice stand, Lilly's clothing would become stained with the juice that she was making. In order to hide the stains, Lilly began making clothing for herself in bright colors and patterns.
 
Customers started asking about the dresses Lilly would wear to work, so she decided to make a few to sell at her stand. She soon realized she was making more dresses than juice, and a fashion lifestyle brand was born!
 
Lilly Pulitzer has now became almost synonymous with southern living, and the southern lifestyle. Her clothing is perfect for any summer occasion, and Our Friends' Closet is here to outfit you in Lilly at a fraction of the cost!
