Have you ever found your unicorn item? A unicorn is something that you love but somehow missed when available and now is super hard to find. For me, the Lilly Pulitzer Bellavista dress was a total unicorn. At full price, it was way out of my price range, but I almost had it one year during the semi-annual Lilly sale. But alas, I missed it there too. So I stalked it on eBay (see how to shop eBay here) hoping that one would show up in my price range. Well, my stalking paid off and I finally got my dress. At a much lower price than I was hoping too! Wins all the way around!
I knew I had to wear it right now, even if it is getting cold and wearing Lilly might seem a little odd. So to “warm” it up a bit, I topped it off with a tuxedo vest (seriously, get one of these in your closet, they are the perfect topper!) and OTK boots. What is not to love? I won’t lie, I’ll be wearing this dress all winter long. I’ll pair it with leggings and booties next and top it off with a warmer vest. Then of course once spring rolls around, it will be perfect with wedges. You can’t ho wrong with a year-round dress!

There is a ton of things included, so get some Christmas shopping done or just shop for yourself 🙂 I’m seriously considering getting a pair of Hunter boots, are they worth it?

I’m loving that colorful dress. So retro ❤

Loving that dress! I am a Lilly girl too.
Thanks Jenny!
Ohh! I bet this dress would look super cute with navy tights!
Ohh, good idea!
That is a beautiful dress! How wonderful you could finally track it down, and at a bargain price too! 🙂 Always good when that happens. It really pops against black so will be easy to layer more as it gets cooler 🙂
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend and you got some great stuff in the sales! 🙂
