Fall 2009 Wardrobe!

Boy did I have fun with all the Fall Lilly when I went in to the store last night! I must say that Summer has always been my favorite season and while I have always liked Fall (is there really any Lilly season I do not ADORE?), I never really purchased any pieces until last year. Well, last night I sure made up for ever year I neglected to purchase any Fall Lilly by purchasing five, yes you read that right (bad Hopsy is what is likely going through your mind right now, but do not judge, it is Lilly), five dresses.

I simply ADORE the Sabine dress and purchased in the crinkle, the stripe and the print. I think I might actually start wearing the pink and white stripe before Fall hits and then possibly pair it with black or navy come September, thoughts? Every single one is too cute, but I think my very favorite might be the printed. I love the hidden animals of course and the buttons are enamel like and super darling too! You know I cannot resist a good shift dress so of course the darling Stephanie was also made mine. The photos of this dress found online do NOT do it justice as it is nothing short of fabulous. I am a sucker for animal print to begin with so I loved the green cheetah, but the neckline is so fun yet also mysterious with more hidden animals and some paisley. This is going to be great for the warm Dallas Fall and I plan on putting a navy turtleneck under it when the chill arrives.

Now, the very best part of the Fall Line in the price point! Every dress is well under $200, but the quality is still there. You simply cannot beat the price if you are going for this look! I also love that many of all Fall dresses could perhaps appeal to a new audience. I know there are many who just cannot do the loud prints which is totally understandable, however this season even they can shop the more subdued Sabine and $98 cardigans!

Fall 2009 is a WINNER of a collection and gets a three cheer salute for look, price and quality from Hopsy! I think we had better all shop early before everything is sold out!

You are one lucky girl Hopsy! All the dresses are so cute. I can't wait for the Fall season, too.

You have inspired me to go shopping! I was trying to hold out, but the great prices- these are bound to sell out fast! Can't wait to see a picture of you in the Stephaine shift! :)

My daughter, Adelaide, went over on Tuesday and checked out her favorites too!! I love all the blues for fall myself, but have not seen them yet in person. I can't wait to go and try on some new things. Hope you are doing well. Adelaide had told me about your camp experiences as a child in NC and then you commented about it on my blog, as well. That is amazing! Small world! Love & blessings from NC!

Hopsy, I too bought the printed Sabine dress the other day!!! I love it! You cannot beat the prices on Lilly this fall!!!!

QueenBeeSwain said...

totally agree Miss Hopsy- love the crinkle plaid and the Stephanie in the pink print- both are must buys! nothing like a shift with a turtleneck for a Minnesota autumn!

I bought the Franco Seersucker dress this summer - my first Lilly purchase. Love it! Now I'm addicted.

Shirtdresses are perfect for everything. I am really enjoying the fall Lilly color palate.

Cute dresses...I wish I wasn't in maternity clothes and could wear them!!

PoshMomma said...

"I think I might actually start wearing the pink and white stripe before Fall hits and then possibly pair it with black or navy come September, thoughts?" YES, do! Also, the Stephanie dress is SO you & will look amazing with your blonde hair. Be sure to post pics! You should wear it to your tablescape charity event. It's a showstopper.

I love them all but I agree with you that the final blue and green cheetah one is the real keeper!
