Sweater (Lilly Pulitzer- ON SALE) | Jeans (Gap) | Shoes (Guess)
It’s the best time of the year for a preppie! It is the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale!! For those of you who aren’t familiar with this FAMOUS sale it happens twice a year (once right after the winter holidays and again right after labor day) and it includes INCREDIBLE discounts for some of Lilly’s best pieces. From printed dresses to iconic staples, the After Party Sale never disappoints!
This sale is an absolutely BLESSING for all you preppies living in the south and enjoy warm weather all year long, but for those of us up north it isn’t as easy to think about what we want to be wearing 6 months from now. If you are a Lilly lover living in New York or any northern city for that matter (looking at you Boston, Chicago, etc.), here are a few ways you can shop now and enjoy now (or when your package ships in 4 weeks!):
1| Winter Warmers: Lilly has a reputation for the best in all things summer, but it is truly just a ‘summer state of mind.’ If you dig through the site you will absolutely find adorable sweaters that you can wear during the winter months. Yes, there may be a little pop of sunshine like the hot pink elephant on my sweater above or the infamous flamingo sweater featured below, but it is that perfect pop of color you need to get you through the brutal winter temps in NYC, or at least until you escape to Palm Beach for spring break.
2| Simple Staples: So much of what I buy from Lilly Pulitzer these days are just simple staples. While my college days were all about filling my closet with every print of the season, these days I’m focusing more on filling my closet and drawers with quality pieces that will last me a lifetime and that is the epitome of Lilly Pulitzer. I love these pieces because they truly flex into ever season here in the city. While that wrap-around navy romper may look like a summer staple, if you through on a faux fur stole (Under 25!) you have a show-stopping outfit for a night out in the city. Not to mention that I own this wrap-around romper in multiple prints and it is absolute MUST-HAVE. It is by far one of the most flattering pieces in my closet.
3| Spring Break Essentials: Okay, so you can make it pretty far into the winter months with your Lilly After Party Sale purchases, but I’d be a fool not to share some of the pieces I have my eye on as we start day dreaming of spring break adventures. Every year around the end of February, early March I start dreaming of Palm Beach, the Bahamas, etc. and Lilly Pulitzer is always along for the ride on those vacations. What I love most about traveling with Lilly is how easy it makes the packing process. You rarely have to coordinate what skirt goes with what top. All you need to do is choose your favorite few shifts and bathing suit and you’re a done deal.
At this point, I shop this sale like a serious PRO, but there are a few things to know before you get started. For starters, today is the LAST day. The sale will end promptly at 11:59p tonight. Also, if this is your first time shopping the sale, don’t be alarmed when your package takes a few weeks to arrive. Because of the high volume the sale sees, this is completely normal and you will have your Lilly before you know it!
Wishing you all of the luck in shopping the Lilly After Party Sale because we all know that we will need it!
