Raise your hand if you've just been rotating from one oversized t-shirt to another for your work from home looks for the past six months. Guilty.
With COVID I know many of us have been transitioning to working from home these past few months. For me personally, I was quarantined for two weeks after I came home from my Peru trip and was working from home and when my two weeks were up, stay at home orders in North Carolina had taken effect. I have gone back to the office part-time now since mid-May, but for days where I am working from home, I still find myself reaching for my usual comfy oversized t-shirts and shorts.
Lately, I've been really trying to push myself to get a little more done up for my workday in hopes that it would help boost my mood and productivity, and so far it's been helping a bit! I think the act of physically changing out of your pajamas into something else just switches your brain from relaxation mode to work mode. With COVID I, unfortunately, haven't been able to break out a lot of my favorite Lilly Pulitzer pieces, but have been getting some use out of my more casual Lilly pieces. Here are two of my go-to Lilly at Home outfits I have been wearing for my work from home days!
1. Luxletic Leggings + Pullover
This is a pretty typical work from home look for me: comfy leggings and a pullover. Lilly makes the SOFTEST leggings and of course in such bright fun prints. For my job, the dress code is already very casual and I don't have to log in for zoom calls which is nice. So it's pretty nice that I get to roll out of bed, transform myself into a highlighter, and hop on my computer for work!
LILLY LUXLETIC FAVES:
2. Rylie Dress
For days where I want to get a little more dressed up, this Rylie dress has been my go-to. It feels like I'm wearing an oversized sweatshirt and I don't have to wear pants. A total win. I usually throw on this dress with a pair of converse for grocery runs, but for WFH days I usually pair this with my favorite fuzzy slippers.

The Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale is here! If you're new around here, the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale is a sale us Lilly lovers look forward to twice a year where Lilly marks their past season's released up to 70% off! Keep reading to see my picks for this year as well as what I have purchased.
Before we jump into my picks for this year's sale, I want to quickly say that by no means am I saying you need any of these items. I've covered the APS every year since 2015 and although it's my favorite sale of the year to share with you all, my intention is to never push you all to purchase anything that you don't want or need. The sale is exciting and there are a lot of good deals, but please keep in mind at the end of the day it's just clothes, there will always be more sales and you don't need to purchase anything if you're not in the right place financially. And that's OK!
As a quick reminder, remember everything in the sale is final sale! Also, shipping is free with a $25 purchase! Lilly Pulitzer is also planning to another round of new arrivals tomorrow, Tuesday, September 15th as well! Now to jump into this year's picks:
Are you shopping for in the sale? If so let me know what you have scored in the comments down below! Be sure to check back to see my picks as I'll be updating this over the next two days. I hope you all have a wonderful day and happy shopping!
The juice has been spilled, the date for the most colorful sale of the year is here!
As many of you know, I'm a big Lilly Pulitzer fan and the After Party Sale is something us Lilly lovers look forward to twice a year. If you're not familiar, the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale is a sale Lilly Pulitzer hosts twice a year marking down all of their past season's pieces. The reason why this is such a big deal is that Lilly doesn't have a sale section and doesn't do sales outside of the APS. If you want to know more in-depth about the sale I wrote a whole post on what exactly the sale is, FAQs, and what to expect.
September 14, 2020 at 8:00am - September 15, 2020 11:59pm
HOW TO SHOP:
The sale is ONLINE ONLYthis year, but you can shop in-store at some Lilly Pulitzer signature stores with some of them doing early in-store access today and tomorrow. Lilly Pulitzer corporate stores will not be hosting any in-store sales.
HOW DOES THE SALE WORK:
Once you go onto the Lilly Pulitzer website Monday morning around 8:00am (ish, sometimes they're off by a few minutes, but it's worth it!!) you'll be placed in a virtual line. Once you're in the line they'll give you an estimated time of when you'll be able to access the sale. Once you're in line, do not refresh your page as you will be placed in the back of the line.
Also, keep in mind, it's not worth it to have multiple tabs on your laptop open to hold different spots in line. The line system goes by your IP address and it'll just be showing you the same spot in line if you do so. If you'd like to hold different spots in line, I'd advise you to log in on various devices such as your laptop, tablet, phone, significant other's phone... etc.
WHAT SHOULD I BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR:
Some styles that you can pretty much expect in the After Party Sale are Elsa Silk Tops, Callahan Shorts, Mila Shift Dresses, Popovers, and Donna Rompers. The sale includes prints and styles from past seasons, but it is important to note that the styles and prints you currently see online will not be included in the sale.

Now that Labor Day is over it seems that fall is on everyone's mind now. Even though I had to see the long summer days come to an end soon, it'll be nice to have a change in pace with fall. I'm actually looking forward to cooler weather and maybe will even try to get outside more now that I don't have to worry about sweating my booty off within the first five minutes of being out.
To kick off the fall season, I thought it'd be fun to round up some of my favorite Amazon Prime fall picks! This is a mix of some items that I personally owned as well as some items I've been eyeing this fall. Check out my sizing reviews for the pieces I already own down below!
REVIEW: This sweater is super cozy and was sent to me last year to review. The bell sleeve is such a fun touch and I love the bright colors in it. I will say, the quality isn't the best. I have washed this quite a few times and you can definitely see some wear on it after a few months.
REVIEW: This sweater is super soft and I can definitely see myself wearing it all fall/winter. It comes in several different colors, and this color, in particular, is less than $13! It's a nice long tunic length that will be great paired with leggings or can be tucked into a pair of jeans.
REVIEW: I was totally influenced by Tomi of GoodToMicha on this set! She had shared it on her Instagram stories and I had to have it. I will say, I'm not sure if it may just be I have the wrong size or what, but I feel like it definitely doesn't look as cute on me as it does her. I am pretty in between a small and medium and say it runs about half a size big on me. The sweater is super cute and can definitely see myself styling it in multiple different ways this fall. As for the shorts, they do look a bit awkward on me, but they are very comfy, and will just use them to lounge in.
REVIEW: As someone who is always cold, having cardigans on hand has been a must for me. I love the patchwork on this cardigan and decided to go with a more neutral color pallet so I can throw it on with multiple different outfits. It's pretty soft and cozy and can definitely see myself wearing this all fall. This also comes in a few different colorways as well!
Let me know down below which item was your favorite! I hope you all have a wonderful day and as always, thank you for reading!
