OK…I’ve got the scoop from the Pink Palace…everything that you need to know about this year’s Lilly After Party Sale! My hair has been full of secrets for weeks…AND NOW IT’S TIME TO SPILL THE JUICE (anyone catch that Lilly pun? I’m only punny with Lilly puns).
I’ve seen posts about gearing up for this sale that are basically NOVELAS. We’re all boss ladies and….ain’t nobody got time for that! Here is the MOST IMPORTANT information that you need to make the most of this year’s After Party Sale! I’m also allowed to leak 10 styles that will be included… see below!
~ VERY IMPORTANT FACTS AND TIPS WORTH THE READ ~
1. WHEN and WHERE
~ The sale begins at “8AM-ish” on September 10th and lasts until 11:59PM on September 12th. It’s gonna be good. It’s gonna be wild. You can shop it on all of your devices, including your phones and tablets. You can ALSO shop the sale at Lilly Pulitzer owned retail stores (just be sure to call ahead…the stores do not necessarily carry the same products that you see on the online sale). If you are traveling or unsure of where your closest store is, head over to find it here.
2. BE READY with an ACCOUNT
~ Lilly has recently launched a brand new website to help improve your shopping experience for the long haul! That said, make sure that you hop on and take a quick look see before the day of the sale. ALSO, make sure that you know how to navigate the site and make sure that you have your account set up with your updated address. Click here to do that! Another piece of important information is that you WILL NOT be able to create an account or access your account from 12AM to 8AM on Sept.10th as they prepare for the sale. (Just create your account now while you are thinking of it!)
3. THE VIRTUAL LINE?
~ While Lilly’s website is new, the line will still work the same way. While in line, keep in mind that the reason it exists is to keep the site from crashing, so if you are number 120434985202867….so is everyone else and it’s actually a good thing! DO NOT refresh! I repeat DO NOT refresh…that will take you back to square one. NO GOOD.
4. KNOW. YOUR. SIZE.
~ I know I say this every year, but it’s so important because the sale is FINAL SALE! My friend Chelsey and the rest of the Tech Design team at Lilly are basically magical wizards at making each Lilly product fit you just right! That said, we are all built differently (and that’s what makes US beautiful!). It really and truly is BEST to try on each item in person. Head to a store now, or head to your local Nordstrom (they also carry Lilly!). If you aren’t able to make it to a store, their Fit Predictor is an awesome tool to help narrow down your correct size. If you are in a pickle, please DM me or e-mail me and I will try my best to work with my friends at Lilly to answer any fit questions you might have!
5. NO NEW STYLES WILL BE ADDED
~ This is different! I have mixed feelings about this. Basically what you see the morning of the 10th is what you get. I used to log in later in the day or on day 2 and totally score…but not the case this year. I really think this just means that this year, you have to be extra prepared (especially with the new site), have an account set up, and get on right as soon as you can at 8AM. Make sure to check back here too! I will have a round up post letting you know what is on the sale (you can decide while you’re in line!)!
6. Ok, Rhi, is this really worth it?
~ It really is! Take it from a die hard Lilly girl in the biz…this is when I personally stock up on pieces that I wear ALL the time. For me, every Lilly item is considered an “investment piece.” My friend, Taylor, calls it “price per wear,” and when you take THAT into consideration, this sale is SO worth every penny! I’ve gotten twosies and dresses for as low as $29 and $39 in the past and have gotten shorts and skorts that I wear SO often for $29. PLAY HOOKEY. SKIP THE MORNING WORKOUT. GET TO WORK BEFORE 8! Do what you need to do to be in line the morning of the sale at 8AM.
7. RAPID FIRE Quick Facts You Also Should Know:
