2021 is already off to a great start, because today is the start of the Lilly Pulitzer January 2021 After-Party Sale!! Y’all know that this sale is my very favorite because it only happens twice a year and the prices are amazing!! I mean, we’re talking Lilly Pulitzer for up to 75% off! This is the perfect chance to stock up on favorite items, special occasion dresses, & even pieces for the summer- the next sale won’t be until August/September!
If this is your first time shopping the sale here are a few things you need to know:
Dates & Times: The sale launches TODAY, January 4th at 8am and will run until 11:59pm on Tuesday, January 5th. When you enter the sale this morning you will be put into a virtual “line” before you can get in to start shopping. I’ve found that even if the wait time says something crazy (like 3 hours) it usually moves MUCH quicker- I think the longest I’ve waited is about 20 minutes!

Returns?: Due to the crazy low pricing in this sale, all sales are final- so no returns! In order to help you make the best choices & pick the right size, I’ll be sharing all my favorite pieces and sizing below!
Shipping Times: While shipping is free on all purchases, the shipping timelines for the sale (due to the volume of orders that come in) can take up to 6 weeks to come in. Especially this year with COVID still a factor, know that it will take some patience 🙂 But, knock on wood, I’ve never had an order cancelled or not arrived- but I have had some that took the full 6 weeks to deliver!
Restocks: While there is traditionally not a re-stock of items from the first day, there is normally a drop of brand new items to the sale on the second morning- so 8am Tuesday! Always worth checking back in to see what is new to the sale!
Alright, lets get to the good stuff… the fashion!! 🙂
{NOTE: Since I work FT, I do my best to share tried and true favorites that usually pop up in every sale to give you the best idea of both styles and fit. Prints may vary by style but I usually can’t update this post until after work on the first day of the sale. In addition, I am beyond appreciative when you shop through my links- it’s how I keep this blog running and helps to support my family. We are so thankful that you trust my recommendations!}
Elsa Tops:
The Elsa Top is the workhorse of any Lilly girl’s wardrobe- I absolutely LOVE these tops and own about 8 of them I think!! They are perfect for work with dress pants, perfect for the weekend with shorts, and even good for fall layered with a vest! I’m sharing a spring and fall look below, but there are so many prints and patterns that you are sure to find the perfect one for you!! I always recommend this top as my #1 purchase from the sale and for anyone new to Lilly! 🙂 Trust me, once you have one… you’ll *need* them all! ha.

Sizing: I have both smalls and mediums in these. If you a want a more “tunic” length then I would size up one, otherwise they fit TTS.

Donna Rompers:
Over the past few years I have started collecting Donna Rompers and I absolutely LOVE them! They look like shift dresses, but from the side you get a little peek-a-boo of the shorts underneath, so you get full coverage! I’d like to snag another one in this sale because I think these are perfect mom pieces! because of the shorts you can run around in them, but they still look cute and pulled together! I cannot recommend these enough!

Sizing: I have both a 4 and 6 in these. When I lost weight I was able to size down to a 4, but overall I would say these run TTS with some wiggle room!

Ophelia Dresses:
If you want an easy cotton dress with some swing, comfort and a total cute factor, then look no further than my favorite Ophelia Dresses! This is another style that I own many of… and can you blame me?? These are that quintessential work-to-weekend dress (on a more casual day at the office! :)) and super forgiving and flattering. They even work with a baby bump 🙂

Karlie Wrap Rompers:
These rompers are SASSY little numbers and I highly recommend adding 1-2 to your closet for a perfect girls night or date night look! Toss on sandals for brunch or heels for a night out and you always have the perfect style!
Sizing: I size up to a medium in these because I feel like the hips run a little tight and I am curvy on the bottom!

Jane Dresses:
The Jane is SUCH a flattering dress to have in your closet! It has a slight swing shape to it, which makes it easy to wear, and I love the mandarin collar and trim details which make it slightly more elevated than a casual daytime dress. I wore this Florida print on our honeymoon in Charleston and loved it! There are tons of adorable prints to choose from so definitely add this beauty to your APS cart 🙂

Sizing: This dress runs big and I take a 2 in these. If you have a bigger bust you may want to take TTS.

Jackie Dresses:
Another beautiful swing style dress- the Jackie is not to be missed!! They have a silky handful and look SO elevated- but they are just about the easiest style to wear! I have a few of these because (like everything else!) I love them that much 🙂 I like to toss mine on with a denim jacket and sandals in the spring to dress them down- one of my favorite ways to wear them!

Elba Sweaters:
I love love love these sweaters! They are light weight (which is a winner in Florida), but easy to layer with if you live somewhere colder, the pocket and pom pom details are the cutest, and they are SO DANG COMFY! Like seriously… I love the comfort factor so much! They come in both solids and stripes- and I will be stocking up on a few more for the end of the season 🙂

Sizing: I find this sweater runs big and I take an XS in them- which even works now when pregnant!

Kiela Tunic Dress:
A new addition to my closet, this is such a pretty dress! I love the pink and white- it’s the perfect spring to summer dress- but if you are more of a blue fan it also comes in a gorgeous blue embroidery! I think the pink or blue would also be so cute for a baby shower or a gender reveal!

Sizing: I wear a 4 in this and found it to run TTS. Bonus, it is bump friendly! 🙂
