I’ve never met a shade of pink I didn’t like. In fact, when my little sister was at camp one year during high school she asked us to redo her room. She’s more of a neutral gal, but in my heart, I just thought, “If I paint it pink, she’ll love it!” My sorority sisters came over, we painted the room pink, threw a Lilly Pulitzer duvet on the bed and we were beaming with pride. I mean, I really thought I was sister of the year. I promise I had good intentions here. 😉
She came home, faked a good TLC Trading Spaces excitement and I thought I’d just made her life. Come to find out she hated it, hates pink, but lived in the room for a few years without saying anything. Once she broke the news to me, I didn’t know whether to feel horrible or just crack up laughing. We gave her a blue room after that and it’s definitely the family joke now. “Oh, Katey loves pink so much she’ll paint your room pink without your consent.“
I mean I reallllly thought I was doing her a solid favor.
Now I stick with pink in my wardrobe as opposed to other people’s bedrooms. This dress by Lilly is basically the dress of my dreams. That sounds over the top, but I am completely obsessed! I paired it with some cork sandals for summer, and I can’t wait to wear this on a date night with Paul, soon! I get that a shade like this can be intimidating, but it makes your skin glow and who doesn’t want that in the summer?!
So what about you? Do you love pops of color or are you more of a neutral gal?! What do you want to see on the blog for fall?
In other news, I am on a pilates kick as of late! I started going about 3 weeks ago and have been going regularly each week. My. Body. Hurts. So. Bad. But I’m loving the reformer because it is something I’ve never done before, so I feel like I have a lot to learn each class. I thought I had so much balance and control, and I’m quickly learning I do not! ha. Do any of y’all do pilates?
Today we are shooting my gift/party closet as I shared a little tour on my Instagram Stories and got some requests to put it on the blog. That room is SO dark, so no clue how this will turn out. But that closet saved me this weekend with paper products and more. 🙂
I hope you all are having a great week!
This dress is fabulous! I absolutely love it on you! And that is too funny about your sister’s room! So glad she ended up with a blue room haha.

Right?! I felt so bad! haha. xx, Katey
I’ll have to get this dress!! Pink is my fav! Especially this color pink!! You look beautiful !
Thank you girlfriend!! xo, Katey
Lilly needs to make that dress in basically every color of the rainbow! The shape is so flattering and the straps are super unique and add just the right amount of interest to keep it from feeling plain. Maybe I could buy it and dye it? Lolz just kidding that sounds like a Bill Nye science experiment gone wrong haha! But really though, such a cute dress and the color is perfect on you and totally screams Summer!

Love pilates! Just started a few months ago because I hate working out and my friend’s sister is an instructor. We decided to support her and take some classes, little did I know I would love it!
Right!! I didn’t know how addicted I would be and now I crave my classes! xo, Katey
Oh my gosh I love this dress and love it even more to know it is Lilly!! YES to bright pink- although Tiffany blue is my favorite color.
