For those who are new to this gorgeous East Tennessee valley, welcome to our distinct change of seasons!

You’ll hear a sound when you’re outside late in the evenings that’s very recognizable and familiar to those who are native to this area… the cicada, or the “Katy-dids,” as we East Tennesseans prefer to call them. It’s a sound that, to us, signals the ending of summer and the transitioning into Autumn or “Indian Summer.”
Just as the seasons change wonderfully four times a year, so do our wardrobes, leaving us no time to become bored with the weather or our own closet. You’ll still want to enjoy many of your summer pieces as you begin the transition, and with The Lily Pad’s selections, you’ll find cottons and linens are the perfect wardrobe extenders.
Many of the fabrications available today are season-less, especially in our area. We have no need for wool sweaters and coats; only light weight blends are necessary.
The focus for fall will be strongly on a brown color palette; however, we’ll never be giving up black as the staple color in women’s apparel. Grey is coming on strong again also, so you know whichever color you choose, there will be many color combinations for your skin tone and hair color.
Browns are extremely striking on red heads, brunettes and blondes when used with the right accent pieces; and grey works well with any skin tone when the right color is paired with it nearer to the face.
Black, as well all know, just works! If you don’t have at least one great pair of black pants as a staple in your wardrobe, let us help you select them! Wide legs are trending again this season, but straight legs will always be a staple, too. Remember, our alterations are always complimentary, so we can almost guarantee you a perfect fitting pant!
Enjoy this time of year! There’s a calming and slowing down of all of nature, a beautiful season to behold, and a valley that’s about to be painted with the colors of fall… both in nature and in your wardrobe!
