~ It’s MY FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR! I can barely contain my excitement (*all the exclamation points…ALL OF THEM)!!! I’ve got the inside scoop from my friends in the Pink Palace on the 2019 Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale and now it’s time for me to SPILL THE JUICE!
Below are the MOST IMPORTANT/ must read tips on shopping the sale. Trust me, if you miss one of the big ones, you’ll be 234875624560 in line and nobody wants that! OH and I’m also leaking some of the product that is included in the sale! EEK!
~ MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ~
1.When is this happening?
~ This year, the Lilly After Party Sale begins on Monday, September 9th at 8(ish) AM EST (*for you that means 7:55AM…I’ll explain) and it goes until 11:59pm EST on Wednesday, September 11th. You can also shop the product at your local Lilly Pulitzer Retail store, to find the store closest to you, click here. *note, not all of the same product online will be in stores so be sure to call ahead.
2. HAVE AN ACCOUNT READY
~ This is such a golden piece of information to ensure a quick checkout and smooth shopping experience. With this sale, time is REALLY of the essence, and having your account made ahead of time will ensure that you don’t loose any items in your cart. You can head to their site here to make your account! (*honestly, just go ahead and do it right now while you are thinking of it because early in the AM the day of you won’t be able to before the sale goes live!)
3. Will there be a virtual line again and what is a virtual line?
~ YEP you guessed it. It sounds annoying but it’s actually a good thing because it keeps their site running smoothly and keeps it from crashing 🙂 Here is the MOST important thing to know: DO NOT REFRESH if you are in line already. I repeat DO NOT REFRESH! That will take you back to square 1. Remember when I mentioned that 8(ish)AM really means 7:55? That’s another BIG tip of mine. Have your coffee, sit down 5 minutes early. Be ready! If you are even 60 seconds late to the sale, you will be pretty far down in the line. Be early for this one!
4. There WILL be new product added on Tuesday and Wednesday!
~ If you just read that part about the line, take heart! This is different than last year! I’ve honestly gotten some of my best finds in previous years on the 2nd and 3rd days (*I think less people check back? I’m not sure the theory behind it), but definitely make sure to check back on the 2nd and 3rd days as well! It will be extra worth it this year!
5. KNOW YOUR SIZE, LADIES!
~ OK, I know you might be sick of me saying this year after year, but this tip is WORTH the trip to Nordstrom/Lilly this weekend. Since the sale is FINAL SALE, that means you cannot return things. I know that I’m a pretty standard 6 in Lilly, but sometimes I’m a small, and sometimes I’m a medium depending on the product. I’m more of an 8 bottom in swim! LUCKILY you have all weekend to head out to your local Lilly or Nordstrom or Bloomies to try on different pieces. Keep a note on your phone! Try on cotton dresses, try on pants, try on swim (any category you are interested in)!
6. Is this worth waking up for?
~ YES. As a Lilly lover myself, this is the time when I stock up on pieces that I wear ALL THE TIME (like my Donna rompers…last year I got 4!). It’s also a great time to buy gifts for others and I definitely have a few people on my Christmas list in mind. Some of my favorite purchases from the sale have been only $29! Really! SO YES. It’s more than worth every second of lost sleep if you ask me!
7. CHECK BACK ON THE BLOG
~ Every year, I make sure to be the first in line so that I can quickly round up the VERY best included in the sale. I get it…it’s exciting but, it’s also A LOT to comb through! For those of you who have to be at the office when the sale begins or those of you who can’t get in line early, you can at least pop over here and take a peak at my guide to see if there are any pieces that you LOVE and want to get in line for!
~ See below for a sneak peak of items included in the sale! I’ll be adding the Sept.10th drop later today! Happy Lilly APS week, loves!!! It’s going to be WILD and AMAZING! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
