Chic Florida Outfits from Lilly Pulitzer for Women Over 40
Florida is a top vacation destination for many of us who live up north, including my husband and me. We’re back and forth all the time, which means I always like to have some cute Florida outfits hanging in my closet and ready to go. One brand I can always count on to look pretty, colorful, and chic down south is Lilly Pulitzer.
I’m a big fan of her light, cheery designs, which are perfect for gals over 40, 50, and 60 who love playful resort wear. I was recently in Florida and picked up a lot of cute new things, which I also plan to wear back home this summer. Have a look at these darling finds that make vacations and summer a whole lot more stylish and fun!
Chic Florida Outfits from Lilly Pulitzer
Linen Pants | Sweater | sandals | bag
Linen Pants and Sweater
You can never go wrong with linen pants and a beautiful breezy sweater. Lily’s linen pants are lined, which is a rare find, and they fit beautifully. I sized up one from a small to a medium just to achieve a looser, beachy look. The sweater is a stunning green creme de menthe color, and I love the beachy rolled neckline and hem. Talk about the perfect beach outfit!
Cute Beach Dress
Now, this is different! I wasn’t sure about this little number until I tried it on, but I instantly fell in love with it. This striped polo beach dress has a perky look and feel, but it’s also very feminine. Do you see the ruffled neckline, which adds a touch of romance? It’s really quite different. This dress seemed short on the hanger, and yes, it is. It’s a sundress, so it’s meant to be worn with flats, but I found that when I got it on, the longer sleeves made it seem much more modest and easy to wear. It’s become one of my favorite vacation dresses!
Eyelet Dress | Gold Sandals | Earrings
Eyelet Dress
This dress knocked me out, and I had to have it. I love the intricate eyelet detail and the gorgeous ladylike feel of this dress. It’s a shirtdress style, making it very easy to wear and also very versatile. When you want to dress up a little but still look relaxed, this is the dress to wear. And don’t get me started on that stunning shade of blue. It’s a pretty yet practical dress that would also be great for a bridal shower, baby shower, or even graduation.
Blue Waist Tie A-line Dress | sandals
Blue Print Dress
If there is one thing Lilly Pulitzer is known for, it is prints – busy, bold, wild prints that put a smile on your face and a pep in your step! I love this blue tropical print sundress. It’s soft and silky, and the long sleeves are a rare find. You can wear it loose or belt it, and with a cute pair of sandals, you have the perfect outfit for a dinner date!
Red Sweater Dress
Have you ever been on vacation and been surprised when it got in the evening, or perhaps you just had a few cool days? That happened to me when I visited Sarasota in February, and they were experiencing a cold spell. This cute vacation sundress would have been perfect for that. It’s short and sporty, and you can wear it with flats, but it is also knitted with warm sleeves to keep you cozy. I love the tropical red, too!

Tunic Dress
One thing is certain: if you want to stay cool in the heat, a loose-fitting tunic dress like this is ideal. I love the deep V-neckline and the ultra-feminine sleeves. Do you see the subtle pleating in the front that pulls the dress in and gives it shape so it doesn’t look frumpy?

I couldn’t resist! Lily’s colorful PJs are incredibly cute and ultra-comfortable. I love these. They are soft and comfortable, and that bold print makes me feel happy about waking up!
