My oh my, did I luck out on the 2-day Lilly sale. My old trick of seeing what LP.com was going to have early worked after a few tweaks, so unless the majority of the shopping population (aside from the many ladies I shared the secret with via Re-Lilly), I had all my purchases bookmarked and ready to go.
Having solidified my "Lilly" style a few sales back, I shied away from undefined waists and shifts, no matter how cute they were and went for these gems:
 |
| Jonah Dress in Navy Heel |
Turns out the Jonah Dress always look good on me. It's has a loose enough body to be comfortable, but with the sassy tie-belt, I'm able to define my waist in an otherwise shapeless dress. And this color combo - to die for.
 |
| Blayney Dress in Starry Blue Drama Queen |
I've been coveted the Starry Night Drama Queen print for a few months now. While this Blayney reminds me an awful lot of another dress I have ( check it out) when it comes to the color palatte, I just couldn't resist ordering one to check it out.  |
| Kelsi Dress in Standing Ovation |
This red meets blue dress is the perfect piece for a DC politico, and heck I work at Purple Strategies, where red and blue come together after all.
 |
| Shauna Tunic in Bright Navy the Big Brava Placed |
I know I said, no undefined waists, but this gorgeous Shauna frock gives the
illusion of a wait with an elegant floral print. Some rules are made to be broken.
 |
| Adalie Wrap Dress in Azalea Pink Follow the Pink Road |
How can you go wrong with a simple wrap dress?
 |
| Julianna Dress in Cameo White Lace You There Placed |
This was my stunning, elegant pick of the sale. The dress that's incredibly detailed and unique. I know I won't have many places to wear it, or rather I'm not the gal who will wear it many places, but no way will it not turn heads when it shows up somewhere.
 |
| Blanca Dress in Bright Navy Dress Rehearsal |
Simple and easy-going. That's what I'm hoping for with this one. Just something comfy and casual to wear so it can look like I'm trying, even though I won't be. :)
Two Ciara Tunics here.
The first in Pink Tomato Standing Ovation Placed : pretty.
The second in Multi Chorus Girl : fancy.
Update: one via shop tried to break my little sale heart and tell me my Chorus Girl was out of stock, despite the fact I ordered minutes after midnight. But alas,
Palm Garden in Wilmington, NC came to my rescue and will deliver my beloved tunic in just two days. It ships tonight. Talk about quality service ladies. Those women running that shop deserve a pat on the back. They saved the day!
 |
| A Murfee Scarf in Starry Blue Drama Queen |
 |
| Full of Hope Bracelet |
I snagged this meaningful beauty for just $15. How could I resist!?
 |
| A beaded bangle. |
Snagged three of these in different colors each for $11. cha-ching! Money saved!
Looking at all of these dresses now in one places it feels a bit obsessive-shopper like (shhh, I am), but I got EVERYTHING you see here for under $500. Quite the amazing feat. And reason no.1 why I'm not going to feel guilty!
Hope the rest of you are making out with your Lilly-wishes as well!
CAN NOT BELIEVE that was all under $500. Beautiful finds! Love, love the Julianna!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on this job ( I must have missed that post) and I think you scored a ton of beautiful things that will fit you perfectly for strategy sessions in the coming months!!
ReplyDeleteNice job! I found a few things too - I hope they all work out!
ReplyDeleteWow! You made out! Some of that was gone by the time I logged on. I was hoping those bangles would be on sale and they weren't on the page when I looked.
ReplyDeleteLove your finds. I got into the sale a little bit late. Could NOT stay up late but I snagged a couple good things this morning and praying for some on Re-Lilly this weekend :) Since it's all no returns.
ReplyDeletelove the shauna tunic!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the Jonah dress! I bought the blanca dress myself (this is me...showing restraint).
ReplyDeleteTried on the kelsi dress in the store up in CT and just...wanted to love it but it clung to all my wobbly bits in the words of Bridget jones :( I do love the prints though! Big. Fat puffy heart the Lilly sales :) :)
Wow you got so much great stuff! I had bought a bunch of fall already, but I still managed to go a bit crazy last night!
ReplyDeletei cant believe the deals you got! there are some cute wardrobe additions in that list!
ReplyDeleteI was catching up on your blog and just wanted to pop in because I love hearing success stories of Lilly sales! I was running one of the Signature Store sales and I'm so sorry we sold out of that tunic you were looking for! It made me curious though about the order and I actually just looked it up- last one was ordered just a few minutes before yours went through. :( Again- I'm so sorry about that but so glad you were able to grab some great finds! That Julianna dress is gorgeous!!
