Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale Starts Today + A Giveaway!

January 3, 2018

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.   For those of you who shopped the Lilly’s big sale this past August, you’ll probably notice that many of these pics are the same from summer.  And many will still probably be part of this sale too.  So if you missed out on these pieces then, here’s your chance to get them this time.  Crossing my fingers for you that they’ll be included in the 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.

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.

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.  I love it in this pretty blue color.

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!  The one Wheeler is wearing is part of the sale here.  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!  My Achelle Sleeveless Silk Top I’m wearing is marked down from $118 to $39!

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.

Don’t stress and have fun!

Would you believe it’s supposed to snow here today?!  The kids are supposed to go back to school tomorrow, but they’ve already canceled school.  Of course right when I’m trying to get back on a routine this happens.  Oh well!  Guess I’ll start back next week.  Here’s to movies, games and cozying up with hot chocolate.  Guess we can’t complain about a little extra long break!

Happy Wednesday, Y’all!

UPDATE

I just ordered this dress and this dress (with this necklace to go with it).  LOVE both!

I also scored this gorgeous top!

For the girls, I also got these dresses, these super cute white coverups, these printed leggings and these printed coverups too.  Wheeler had this bikini last summer, but I went ahead and ordered two more for the girls in the next size up for this summer.

This drink set that was priced at $420 is now only $79!

This one I wore at Effie’s Birthday Party is now on sale!

My navy Essie Dress that I wear all. the. time is on major sale!  For fit, it’s true to size.  Trust me.  You will love it!  I wear mine with everything I own, from flip flops to leggings and boots.

I wore this striped one more times that I can count this summer!  It’s a great swingy dress!

Y’all, I seriously have this tank in every single color.  Like I love them so much, I may order some of the same colors in case my old ones shrink or get stained.  Ha.  Do yourself a favor and snag them while they’re still in stock and some of the colors are on sale too!  For fit, they’re a swingy style but fit true to size.  I wear a small in them.

I’ll be back with another update soon, especially if they restock or add more items!

  95. Meg top, leggings and cover ups! Now bring on the warmer weather! It’s freezing here in NoVa!

  99. Thanks for the heads up on the sale. I didn’t get an email from LP this time, so I probably would have missed it! I got in at 8:04 this morning. Picked up an Essie top, a Palmetto shirt in pink and a striped Stasia sweater. I couldn’t decide between two navy long sleeve dresses (the Essie and the Surfcrest), so I got both! At $39 each, I couldn’t help myself. Thanks again for all your tips!

  100. So excited I got the Essie dress, Achelle Dress, and 2 Essie tops! Thanks so much for your recommendations, they helped so much. Just disappointed the Jane Dress was not on the sale!

  102. Got some silk dresses and cashmere sweaters ! The new Pima dresses seems to fit odd so I’m sticking with what I know will fit

  175. Ohmygoodness…I’ve placed FIVE orders! But the selection and prices have been amazing this time!
    I too am a big fan of the Jane but didn’t find ONE on this sale…I did however get an essie top, a sweater, romper, short set, the pink ombre dress and FOUR other dresses! We share the same size, and the same style, so I love seeing your rec’s. I’m also lucky enough to share the same size with my daughter, so we can borrow each others’ Lilly now!
    Stay warm in all that snow — Boston is in for a SNOW CYCLONE tomorrow! Warm weather can’t get here soon enough for me! Thanks for the entry and chance to win!

  177. I bought matching dresses for our summer vacation for my daughter and nieces. Lilly helps brighten the day in -2 degree weather here in Wisconsin!

  179. After picking up a few callahans, an essie dress and linzy top, I was sad I couldn’t find a matching dress for me and my Minnie. Then, they added inventory tonight and I scored a matching set. Wahoo!! My APS and NYC sale luck has stunk the last few years, so I am delighted to find a match.

  192. I snagged a couple popovers and dresses. I am hoping they add more styles today, even though my bank account thinks otherwise – haha!

  193. I *finally* snagged a Lobstah Roll Popover for my Minnie! I also grabbed a pair of the WITS buttercups, I was totally shocked to see these I really hope they aren’t too good to be true! I also ordered the luxletic Treena top in navy and a Lacy tank in navy, both of these will go with so much of what I already have!
