The Kennedys, then and now: Lilly Pulitzer's dresses can last many generations. Photos courtesy of Lilly Pulitzer
Customers have been recycling Lilly Pulitzer pieces for ages. Whether by wearing hand-me-downs or passing pieces on, the iconic dresses, skirts and the like are generally well-loved by more than just the original owner.
Now you can get paid to do what you've been doing all along. Tying into America Recycles Week, between Nov. 8 and 15, bring any "gently worn" Lilly special occasion dresses to your local Lilly Pulitzer store and receive a $10 credit toward a new Lilly from the company's "Originals" collection for holiday.
The items donated will be collected for The Princess Project, a non-profit organization that provides free dresses and accessories to high school girls who could otherwise not afford them for their proms.

Who knew Lilly was green beyond just being pink and green? Hope you haven't had too horrible rains. We're getting them now :(

I think it's cool to recycle, It helps save mother Earth by reusing what we can of what can eventually destroy nature or us. Cool work, great job.
