Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale Picks

Happy Monday friends!! I hope y’all know what day it is…there’s no better way to start the week than with a sale! And I’m talking about the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale which is know LIVE!! I’ve shopped this sale twice before, last August and then again in January. I also posted last week about everything you need to know about the sale which you can read here. This is one of the only times that Lilly items go on sale so I always take advantage of it.

I logged on this morning at about 6am West Coast time (site opened 8amEST) and my wait time was over an hour! I waited and it was definitely worth it. Once you get in the site, just hit “Shop Now” and you’ll have access to the sale.

Below, I’ve linked some of my favorite items (I purchased almost all of the items below) Very important to note is the fact that ALL items are FINAL SALE so you need to be 100% sure that you want the item and that it’s your correct size.

Row One: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4

Row Two: 1 / 2 / 3

ASHLYN SHIFT DRESS

Normally $198     On-Sale $69

This dress is super cute! I bought it in a 0 which is my regular size. I figured this would be perfect for a summer wedding or any upcoming showers I may have to attend this next year. I love the white lace trim at the waist! This is a printed shift dress. Currently fully stocked in ALL sizes!

ESSIE TOP

Normally $58     On-Sale $34

The Essie top is a sleeveless printed top with smocking around the neckline. This top is perfect for a casual Friday at the office or weekend wear. I got this in the Nauti Navy Capri Soleil (XXS only size left). Comes in 8 colors and a few of them still have a lot of sizes left. I actually have this top in two other colors from past sales and I got in an XS!

SLEEVELESS ESSIE DRESS

Normally $98     On-Sale $49

I love this top style so when I saw it in dress form, I knew I had to get it. I also got one for my mom in a different color than mine. I got the Multi Salt in the Air in an XS (currently out of stock). The Multi Slathouse Soiree, Bennet Blue Showstopper, and Multi Beach Please still have a ton of sizes left.

ISLE LATTICE ONE PIECE SUIT

Normally $138     On-Sale $69

The Isle Lattice One Piece is the ultimate chic swimsuit. The back also has a lattice design. This particular color (Multi Shady Lady Swim) is only available in 0 or 2. This suit is fully stocked in the Bennet Blue Celestial Seas color.

BRYCE ROMPER

Normally $158     On-Sale $54

Inspired by the Bryce top. The notched neckline and slit details make this the perfect romper for either dressing up or down. Available in XXS, XS, and XL. This romper is also available in 2 other colors which are fully stocked in sizes.

4″ ADIE SHORT

Normally $64     On-Sale $29

I love these, I have them in Pink and White! The 4″ length is the perfect length. These shorts have front pockets and scalloped side seam hem details. These shorts are perfect to dress up for a dinner. The navy and the pink are fully stocked in all sizes. I got these in the Navy in my regular size 0.

PACKABLE ESCAPE WEEKENDER

Normally $134     On-Sale $39

This is such a good deal, almost $100 off! That is insane! It looks like the perfect size for a weekend getaway for a carry-on for the plane.

I usually try and purchase with specific usage or events in mind, but if I’m being honest, this season I didn’t do that. I took a look around and bought what I thought was cute. My advice is to think about what’s currently in your closet and what you may have been missing this summer or what needs to be replaced. I can’t wait for my items to get delivered so I can give y’all an update on how everything fits!

Let me know if any of y’all shopped the sale this morning or are planning on shopping. I want to know what you picked up and I’d love to hear your experience!

Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale: FAQS

I’M BBBAAACCKKKK!!!! I know it’s been a while since I last posted, but I’ve just had so much going on in my personal life. But I wanted to get back on here and let y’all know about this really great sale!

The Lilly Pulitzer AFTER PARTY SALE!! Normally the sale falls before Labor Day, so I’ve been patiently waiting for the announcement. Mark your calendars and get ready because the sale is September 10-12. Who else has been waiting for these dates to be announced?

Lilly Pulitzer always has two sales a year, the first falls in January and the second happens at the end of summer. I’ve blogged about the After Party Sale twice already, last August and then again in January. This is the first time that Lilly has switched it up and pushed the sale to after Labor Day. Which if you’re asking me is better. The end of summer can be so hectic with last minute summer activities and it’s always a stressful time of year for me.

LILLY PULITZER AFTER PARTY SALE SEPTEMBER 2018 DATES

Monday September 10 – Wednesday September 12

Sale Begins: 8AM ET

Courtney Shift Dress (from January Sale) // $178 Sale $54

If you’re unfamiliar with the sale, you’re probably asking yourself why this is such a big deal. The After Party Sale is the ONLY time Lilly Pulitzer ever gets marked down! They don’t even have a sale section online.

Adie Short // $64 Sale $24

After shopping both the Summer and Winter sales, I think that the Summer one is BETTER. They have a bigger selection and you’ll see recent pieces from the Spring/Summer line. You can expect to see dresses, tops, bottoms, accessories and home good marked down over 50% off.

TIPS FOR SHOPPING THE LILLY PULITZER AFTER PARTY SALE

Set up a LillyPulitzer.com account. You’ll need an account to shop the sale and you can get a head start with the checkout process by making sure your shipping and payment information is up-to-date.

Use multiple devices. Just incase the site crashes have your phone or iPad ready to go.

Set your alarm & clear your morning schedule. Get your reminders ready so that you’re good to go at 8AM ET on Monday morning. You don’t want to miss out on any items

Know your sizing. At first I was a little worried because I didn’t know my Lilly sizing, but I would say it runs a bit big on me. I’m normally an XS in tops and a size 2 in bottoms/dresses, but when I order Lilly I always go with a 0 or XS/XXS. If you’re unsure you can review the size chart.

Shop smart and fast. EVERYTHING is fair game until you’ve finished checkout. Even if it’s in your cart, it doesn’t mean it won’t sell out.

Don’t buy just to buy. Think about what your closet is lacking or if you need to replace something. In January, I went into the sale knowing I was specifically looking to shop for my honeymoon. Keep in mind that everything is Final Sale so returns are not an option.

Set a budget. I know it’s hard not to go crazy when there’s a sale going on, but you still have to pay for all that great stuff you buy!

Understand the ordering process. Keep in mind that Lilly only has this sale twice a year and there are a TON of Lilly lovers out there. Everyone receives free standard shipping when they place their After Party Sale order, so be prepared to wait two weeks or more for your goodies to arrive.

Adie Short (no longer avail. in white) // $64 Sale $24

Tamiami Off the Shoulder Top (from January Sale) // $64 Sale $19

Essie Top (XXS) // $58 Sale $24

January LP After Party Sale

Happy Wednesday and happy 2018 y’all!!! There’s no better way to kick off the new year than with a great sale! So drum roll please…the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale is now LIVE. I shopped this sale back in August and loved it, so when I got the email about the sale in January, I knew it was a must shop. This is one of the only times that Lilly items go on this kind of sale and let me tell ya, it is totally worth it. The wait time this morning to get into the sale said 25 min, but it only took 20 (there were about $14,000 people in front of me!). Once I got in thought I had no problems maneuvering around the sale and finding things that I LOVED. You can check out the sale through this link here and then hit the “shop now” button!

Below I’ve linked some of my favorite items (I actually purchased quite a few, even though my credit card might be crying and the rest were items that I just loved). Very important to note is the fact that all items are FINAL SALE so you have to be 100% you want the item and that it’s your correct size.

Row one: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5

Row two: 1 / 2 / 3

TAMIAMI OFF THE SHOULDER TOP (Multi Sun Splashed)

Normally $64     On Sale for $19

This top is super cute. I got this in my normal size, XS. I love the pinks and oranges in it. I think that this top will transition very nicely from Spring to Summer. I bought this with the hopes of wearing it on my honeymoon!

SLEEVELESS ESSIE TOP (True Blue Seas the Day)

Normally $58     On Sale for $24

I got this style top during the August After Party Sale and loved it so much. I like the way it fits and is nice and cool when it’s hot. I originally purchased this in an XS and it was just a little bigger than I would have liked. I put this one in my cart this morning, but moved too slow and it sold out in my size!

KEY ID CASE (Multi Coco Coral Crab)

Normally $28     On Sale for $14

How cute is this ID holder? It’s perfect for taking to the beach or if you just need a little something to keep your ID in. I like that you can attach your keys to it as well. This is perfect for vacation!

PACKABLE ESCAPE WEEKENDER (Multi the Swim Accessories)

Normally $134     On Sale for $99

This is such a good deal for this bag! It is $35 off making it under $100! It looks like the perfect size for a weekend getaway or a carry-on for the plane! I already made my purchase and I have WWAAYYYY too many bags, but I would have definitely bought this bag!

CRAYTON RACER BACK TANK TOP (Indigo Keep on Trunkin)

Normally $48     On Sale for $19

How can you pass up a $19 Lilly tank? Especially one with elephants on it! This is such a cute, casual look. This tank is over 50% off!

ESSIE TOP (Multi Sea Salt and Sun)

Normally $58     On Sale for $24

I ended up getting this one this morning during my online shopping trip! This is very similar to the one I talked about above, 4 items up. I had this in my shopping cart during the August sale and didn’t end up getting it, but I was lucky enough to get it this time!

COURTNEY SHIFT DRESS (Brilliant Blue Catch and Release)

Normally $178     On Sale for $54

Ok y’all this dress is more than 50% off! I just had to get it, I got it in my regular size 0 so hopefully it fits the way I’d like it to! And can we just take a min to talk about how cute the back of this dress is! Talk about showing a little skin (in a good way)! I def bought this with my honeymoon in mind!

ROXI TOP (Multi Sea Salt and Sun)

Normally $108     On Sale for $29

I actually love this top, but I didn’t end up getting it. I had to weigh the pros and cons of it and couldn’t come up with enough times that I might wear this. At over 70% off, this top is such a steal and I highly recommend getting this if you think you’ll wear it!

During this year’s January sale, I bought with my honeymoon in mind. We’ll be going somewhere beachy/tropical in June and how perfect are these pieces?! My advice to all y’all shopping today or tomorrow is to think about things that your summer wardrobe was missing last year or what you think you may want this year and buy it. Go for it; I know that it’s close to Christmas and you may not want to spend that much, but this sale only happens twice a year. Get a head start on your summer wardrobe now! Even though I had to wait in a virtual line to get into the sale, once I was in it was smooth sailing! I can’t wait to get my things in the mail so I try them on and share with y’all what I love about each piece.

Let me know if any of y’all hit the online sale today or if there were any special finds that you picked up. I’d love to hear all about your experience!

XOXO
