Lilly Fans look forward to this day every year! The After Party Sale is an amazing one and here are some inside tips and fit guides to help you with your online purchases. The sale goes LIVE at 8am EST (approximately) and will go through Wednesday, 9/11. If you haven't already, be sure to create an account to update your shipping and credit card info for easy checkout. You can also shop on Nordstrom, Amazon and Zappos (for my military friends, don't forget to verify so you get 10% off)! If you are absolutely hoping for that one dress or top, checkout immediately. Having something in your cart does not mean it is yours! And remember, all sales are final, but you can easily resell on buy, sell, trade groups if need be!
I was able to shop the sale in stores on Saturday morning. My friend Tina and I arrived around 8:30 with coffee and breakfast in tow to wait for the store to open. Our store in Jacksonville is relatively small, but the line moved quickly and we were greeted with waters, mini Coronas and snacks from the lovely Lilly staff members.

My biggest advice for this sale is to read reviews and fit guidelines as all sales are final. When sizes are XS, S, M, etc. I can guess pretty well, but on numbered sizes, fits can be weird and trying things on can be important.
Here are some items I purchased during the early release in stores this weekend.
The Kristen dress is a perfect "thrown on" dress that you can dress up or dress down. I love the detail in the back and that you can wear a regular bra! Huge points!
Retail: $98 Sale: $39
The Steffi Stretch dress has been on my list for a while and love that it has a matching Minnie. This style runs small, so size up! I love the ruffles on this dress. Also wearing a regular bra here. I tried on a 6 and 8 in this dress and the size 6 fit better/more generous than the 8.
Retail: $178 Sale: $54
Minnie is $34
The Alessa Romper was a total sleeper. I probably would have never ordered this online. I found it in a bin during the sale and just loved it. Best part, it has built-in shorts so perfect for chasing the kids around or just mammon' and running errands! I'm wearing a size small here.
Retail:$138 Sale:$54
The Shelli Stretch Shift dress was a maybe for me, but I ultimately decided to get it because I love the keyhole back and there is a matching Minnie. I don't loves spaghetti straps, but this has built-in cups, so no bra needed. This dress if perfect for a date night! I'm wearing a size 6 here.
Retail: $168 Sale: $64
I did try on a few other things including this dress, but I was too cheap to purchase! You're welcome, Kyle. It was gorgeous, but I had to have it hemmed and I felt like I wouldn't get a ton of wear. It was $119 in store.
I also loved the fit and feel of the Dani Dress in Navy, but at $54, I couldn't justify spending the money since I have a dress from Gap that is similar. The material was really nice and easy to dress up or down.
I'm excited to see what items are included online tomorrow. I do have one dress I am hoping to find. It's the Adalee Dress in Pink!
What are you hoping to find in the sale?
P.S- Big thanks to my husband who helped snap my photos in the 100 degree heat!!
