Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale Starts Today!! + A Giveaway!

If you’ve been reading for the past few days, it’s absolutely no secret anymore that the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale starts at 8am!  If you hopped over to SSP before the sale starts this morning, feel free to check back here and here for last-minute tips before the sale starts.  You can check out my Lilly favorites from this year below and enter my giveaway!  You can also sign up for TrueFit too (takes 6o seconds and no measurements are necessary).  Love this feature!  As you’re shopping the sale, look near the sizes available and it’ll show you what size will fit you best (there’s an example of what it looks like on yesterday’s post).  As the sale goes live, I’ll be updating my post throughout the day with my favorites from the sale!

Here are my favorites I’ve loved wearing this past year.  Crossing my fingers for you that most of these will be included in this year’s sale!

Blue Print

Green

Navy

My absolute favorite dress this year has been the Jane Dress!  If you’ve been waiting for it to go on sale, here’s hoping it’s part of the sale this year.  I’m guessing it will be, as many of the prints were pulled this past week to be included in the sale!  For fit, it’s pretty true to size.  It’s a little swingy which you know I love!  I’m wearing a 6. UPDATE: They sold out of the Jane dress in a hot minute, but fingers crossed they restock it in the morning!

Wheeler’s Dress

Hot Pink

A repeat favorite from last year that I ordered a few more this year is the Essie Dress.  An easy toss-on dress to wear all summer long.  For fit, it’s true to size.  I’m wearing a medium because I didn’t want it too fitted.  Also available on sale here.

Tavvy Cover-Up – I clearly wore mine out, not just as a coverup.  Love all the vibrant colors!

Thalia Dress – This is a great swing dress and it’s lined too.  I feel like I keep saying everything is true to size, but this one is too.  I’m wearing a small.

Meg Top – Wore this with so much this year.  It also comes in navy.

Bonita Cover-Up – It’s true to size, but I wanted a looser fit so I went with a medium.

Devon Dress – Runs pretty true to size and is a little A-line too.

Sandy Popover – Such a soft cozy top.

Kipper Top – Love the fun fringe details on the hem.  On sale in white.

Lachelle Midi Dress – Some of you had asked if I would share some dresses that are a little longer.  This is one of them.  It’s a midi dress, not too short and not too long.  Wearing a small.

Alanna Off The Shoulder Dress – Love the lace detail on this one!  Also available on sale here.

Julietta Top – Such a pretty cut-out detail on this top.  Love a bright yellow top in summer!

Amisa Tunic Dress – I’m still obsessed with the color combo of this dress!  Such a pretty dress!  It runs a tad big, but I still with a small.

Balletta Cover-Up – Like the Bonita Cover-Up, I’ve worn this one so much this summer too!  I’m wearing a medium, but probably should’ve done a small.  It was a little big, but it was a cover-up so I didn’t mind it fitting a little more loosely.  Also available on sale here.  This pretty print that I have is also on sale too.

Essie Top – ($34) Just like the dress, I toss it on all the time.  Such a great summer staple in white.  Depending on how you want it to fit, I didn’t want mine too fitted so I sized up to a medium.

Amina V-Neck Swing Dress – Talk about a soft dress!  I absolutely LOVE this one!  Unfortunately this one is not part of the sale.  But the girls are wearing these shifts that are on sale!

Girls’ Dresses

Little Lilly Shifts are clearly my favorite dresses for the girls! Obviously, I’ll be stocking up for the girls during the sale. I’ve said it before, but these make great gifts too! Little Lilly Shifts forever!  As far as swimsuits, I sure wish they’d offer more girls’ swimsuits during the sale.  This one and this one are currently still available and on sale.  Have always loved them!  Achelle Sleeveless Silk Top – I’m guessing this top won’t be part of the sale, as it’s one of their newest arrivals.  But I do love it!  Maybe it’ll be marked down during their next sale?  You never know.

Also, don’t forget to check the Accessories Section! Usually there are some fun novelty Lilly items, but most of them are low stock so they sell out pretty quickly!  Love this necklace, only $24!  My favorite always is the silk Elsa Top.  Toss it on with jeans and you’re good to go!  Many are currently on sale!  They fit true to size.  I wear a small in them.  Oh and be sure and check out the Luxletic section and what’s all on sale!  Because it’s always more fun to work-out in bright colors!

FYI

If you are planning on ordering items as gifts or saving them for next summer, make sure you still open the package and make sure your items are all accounted for, that you were sent the correct size, and your items aren’t defective.

However, if I could, I have my eye on the Essie dress, Essie top, anything in Southern Charm print (the best print), and the silk trapeze maxi dress (can’t remember the name). Oh, and I’d throw in one of the agendas. Get one every year!

  119. I love all your suggestions!! I have been wearing the Jane all summer and am now scooping up the Bonita coverup — I also loved the Joyce dresses!

  120. It’s all about the Essie! Ashley, you inspired me to get my first Essie dress, & I won’t admit how many I bought this sale…

  121. I scored the Elsa top I was after and a new phone case for both my daughter and myself! 🙂
