Yay for Lilly’s After Party Sale! I did the majority of my shopping in store on Saturday, but I did snag a piece yesterday during day one of the sale. I wanted to share the pieces I got with y’all! I know I did a haul on Saturday on my Instagram stories, but this is more permanent ICYMI.
The sale is still going on today, but pieces may be sold out already! Regardless, I still linked them in case you wanted to take a look and at the time of writing (Monday afternoon), everything is still in stock.
Hey y’all! I am so excited for today’s post because it’s all about black watch plaid! Y’all may already know I am all about that plaid life, especially during the fall and winter. Some people see black watch as more of a holiday print, but I personally think it’s a great print that can transition from fall to winter And unlike tartan plaid, you can wear it before and after Christmas!
Perhaps my love of plaid stems from going to private school most of my life; I wore uniforms from 3rd grade on. My elementary school had us wear a hunter plaid print and in high school we wore none other than black watch, so there’s definitely a sweet spot in my heart lol.
There are so many stores that have great black watch pieces out right now and I’m excited to share them with y’all! I’m also excited to include some men’s pieces in this post. The best part about holiday plaids is that you know year after year they will be in style! So you may want to consider investing in a timeless piece.
Hi y’all! Today I am back with a highly requested post – my Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale (APS) haul for September 2019! If you haven’t checked it out yet, APS is still going on until 11:59 PM TOMORROW (9/11) and you can shop the sale HERE.
I did most of my shopping in-store, but I’ll include the few things I picked up online as well. I’ll also be sure to include the size I picked up, the original price, and how much I paid. Now, let’s get into what I picked up from the sale!
In case you missed my Instagram post talking about it, LILLY PULITZER’S AFTER PARTY SALE DATES HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED! For those of you who aren’t familiar, Lilly Pulitzer holds APS (After Party Sale) twice a year, once in January and once in late summer (August-September depending on the year). This is the ONLY TIME Lilly offers sales on their website and in stores; while some stores offer a sale rack, others do not. Needless to say, this is the time to shop and get great deals! I even like to use this sale to kick off Christmas shopping for some of my loved ones.
While sale prices will vary, you can typically score tops for under $20, dresses as low as $30, and I’ve even managed to get men’s shorts in APS for $35. If you’re curious to see what I’ve snagged the past two APS, see my winter haul HERE (not gonna lie, it was disappointing) and my haul from last summer HERE. Today I’ll be sharing some tips for both in-store and online shoppers. I’ve been into Lilly for about 8 years now and my first APS in store was only 2 years ago! While I personally prefer shopping in store, I understand it isn’t an option for everyone due to location and other factors.
Hey y’all! Today I wanted to share an accessory that I’ve been LOVING lately. I recently was given the Vineyard Straw Clutch by the lovely Peachy Pendants, an Etsy shop that has tons of fun preppy accessories. This clutch is offered at a great price point, is on trend, and is so versatile. I promise this is the only clutch you’ll need all summer, and it’ll never go out of style! What makes this clutch so versatile? The fact that the bow is interchangeable! With so many color options you can get bows to match any look, and it makes traveling with it super convenient.
The Vineyard Straw Clutch is only $35 and includes a bow color of your choice! Additional bows are only $11 each and are currently offered in 8 color options, and thanks to Peachy Pendants I can offer y’all 20% off on your order of clutches and bows with code NORTHERNPREP20. Now let me show you how I styled my clutch & interchangeable bows!
