Though I don’t see myself jet-setting to Palm Beach, restyling my gastro-intestinal patterns to the taste of jalapeno bloody marys or “counting myself among the horsey set,” I might just invest in a Lilly Pulitzer accessory one of these days. After all, if a 71 year-old fashion and society maven like Lilly says it’s fun to bring out one’s inner pinkalicious-flowery-surfer-diva, who am I to disagree...
