Lilly Pulitzer (Sale) White Lace Dress (Check out this nearly identical one, this gorgeous button-up one, this beautiful maxi, and this stunning eyelet one!)
THIS JUST IN:
The 2020 Lilly Pulitzer After Party has been announced. And friends over at LP are letting me spill the details this morning. 🤗
(I’m also providing a sneak peek of some of the included products as well as giving away $500 to shop the sale!)
Sale dates
Monday, September 14th (around 8:00 a.m. EST)– Tuesday, September 15th (at 11:59 pm EST)
$500 Giveaway
To enter to win $500 to shop the sale, simply:
- Comment at the bottom of this blog post in the comment section.
- In the comment, tell me what your favorite current Lilly print is, and what you would buy if you won the giveaway.
- Bonus points for including random facts, stories, funny stuff or anything that’s on your mind. (Though definitely not required. A randomizer picks the winner. Mitch and I are just kind of bored in 2020 and always enjoy giveaway entries because people get CREATIVE. 😜)
- Be sure to enter your e-mail so I can contact you if you win. (Don’t worry; it’s only visible to you and me, and I am far too exhausted to do anything with the information. 😉)
Winner will be selected at random and contacted mid-morning on September 15th so she has time to shop the sale. The winnings will be awarded via Venmo or PayPal, which means that you can use the $500 for whatever you like/need. ♥️ There will be two more chances to enter to win: one in Sunday’s blog post and one in Monday’s. So keep checking back!
Product drops
There will be two this year! Again, the sale will go live on the morning of Monday, September 14th. There will be another drop–most likely restocks as well as new products–on the morning of Tuesday, September 15th. This is to ensure that more shoppers are able to find something they love for a steal. (Remember that shoppers are also a bit less frantic on day 2 as well, so definitely log on Tuesday morning for the second drop. More often than not, products from the second drop stay in stock much longer!)
Virtual line
As always, there will be a “virtual line.” It exists so that Lilly can avoid site crashes and to ensure that everyone gets the chance to shop. When you arrive at the site, you’ll receive a number and a wait time, even if you arrive promptly at 8. Once you’re in, you can shop until you check out. When you check out, you’ll be placed at the back of the virtual line again. It’s that simple!
This process has worked very well in the past. While numbers and wait times might seem extraordinarily high, they’re not actually as bad as they appear. The line goes relatively quickly (way more quickly than your given wait time indicates), and you’re in before you know it with TONS of merchandise left to shop. I also like that the virtual line prevents shoppers from going crazy and emptying their bank accounts.
Note: Sometimes numbers and wait times are pushed back, and this can be frustrating. But this is an important precautionary measure that Lilly only takes when necessary to avoid site crashes. If it’s happening to you, it’s happening to everyone. Never has all the good stuff sold out on the first day.
Because of the virtual line, though, it’s helpful to turn up the sound on your computer or device. Typically, you’ll hear a loud ding! when you’re let into the sale.
Why to create an account now
The site will likely be down for several hours before kickoff time for sale preparation, it’s best to create a Lilly account now. If you already have one, look over your billing address, shipping address, and credit card/PayPal information, and then double check everything. I recommend pre-loading both your credit card and PayPal info. (You can also use gift cards during the sale, btw.)
