"    Photo: Lilly Pulitzer   Sad news: The designer who popularized bright pink and green color combinations and tropical print shift dresses, 81-year-old Lilly Pulitzer, died yesterday at her Palm Beach home. It was Palm Beach where Pulitzer&amp;#039;s accidental foray into design started: After opening an orange juice stand in 1958 as a hobby, she began developing brightly patterned cotton shifts and tops to help hide the juice stains that came with the job. Her dresses shot to international fame\u2014and became a favorite for the preppy set\u2014when Jackie Kennedy, Pulitzer&amp;#039;s old schoolmate, wore one on vacation not long after. According to an announcement posted yesterday on the official Lilly Pulitzer Facebook page, &amp;quot;Lilly Pulitzer Rousseau passed away peacefully in Palm Beach, surrounded by family and loved ones.&amp;quot;   &amp;quot;Lilly has been a true inspiration to us and we will miss her. In the days and weeks ahead we will celebrate all that Lilly meant to us. Lilly was a true original who has brought together generations through her bright and happy mark on the world.&amp;quot; May she rest in peace. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
