E's Colorful Closet

Today was the first in store preview day for the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale (APS)!  If you haven't already, don't forget to read my APS guide !  Tomorrow (Sunday, September 8th) is the second and final in-store preview day, and the online sale goes live on Monday at 8am EST.  Today I visited two different corporate stores.  The picture above shows everything I bought at both stores combined.  Full disclosure - I wasn't just shopping for myself!  Below is each item that I bought and the price.  You can expect to see these same items and prices (plus a LOT more) during the online sale that starts on Monday.  To see other pictures from the store that show other items that were on sale, check out the "APS Preview Day" highlight on my Instagram, "Escolorfulcloset".

Hi everyone!  As summer wound to a close, my August tryons were noticeable more cool-toned than the ones from the rest of the summer.  However, there are a couple of very versatile items that could still be worn well into fall!  Checkout my After Party Sale guide - we all know the sale is coming soon! *This post contains affiliate links.  That means that purchases made through these links may result in a small commission to me, at no extra cost to you.  As always, all choices/opinions are my own.  Affiliate links are what keeps this site up and running, so thank you for your support! Lysa Tie-Front Top $128 I didn't think anything of this top online, but I loved it in person!  It's slightly different from the typical Lilly Pulitzer item, but I like the variety.  This is my normal size. Malia One-Shoulder Maxi Dress $198 I liked this style of dress last year, so I was happy to see it again this year in a different print.  As...

Hi everyone!  Throughout the month of July, I stopped into the Lilly Pulitzer store a lot and tried things on in small groups.  Instead of a lot of little posts, I decided to combine them into one big post that includes all of my try ons from just after the "Summer Remix" collection until through the pattern "Colorful Camelflage".  Watch for another post soon with some August try ons! *This post contains affiliate links.  That means that purchases made through these links may result in a small commission to me, at no extra cost to you.  As always, all choices/opinions are my own.  Affiliate links are what keeps this site up and running, so thank you for your support! Marilina Tunic in Multi All Together Now Engineered $158 I absolutely love this pattern - the colors are nice and vibrant in person!  For anyone who doesn't know, the "Engineered" in the print name means every one of this top will have the exact same print placement and band o...

Hi everyone!  Now that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is live for everyone, I thought I would share some items that I bought.  I buy things at this sale every year, and I've gotten some really great basic essentials in years past.  I'm also including some things in this post that are on sale, but not part of the Anniversary Sale.  All this means is that their prices won't go up when the Anniversary Sale ends on August 4!  The best part?  Only *two* things in this entire post are over $50! Anniversary Sale Items Caslon Drape Collar Knit Blazer $38.90 (reg. $59) What a great price for this versatile jacket!  It comes in navy, black, dark green, and dark red.  This material can easily be dressed up or down.  This is my normal medium, and it was a hair loose.  If you are in between sizes, I'd suggest going with the smaller size. Abriella Freshwater Pearl Layered Y-Necklace $37.90 (reg. $58) This pearl necklace is gorgeous!...

Hi everyone!  Today Lilly Pulitzer released a surprise "Summer Remix" collection that includes pop ups of a few past favorite prints and a new patchwork print that includes patches of 12 past favorite prints!  I headed to the store to try on the new items, and below I'm sharing my pictures and thoughts on fit of the items. *This post contains affiliate links.  That means that purchases made through these links may result in a small commission to me, at no extra cost to you.  As always, all choices/opinions are my own.  Affiliate links are what keeps this site up and running, so thank you for your support! In the Beginning Jesse Ruffle Romper in In the Beginning $158 This print is so much prettier in person than it is online!  The colors are very vibrant.  I'm not usually a romper person, but I liked this one better than others because it still looks like a skirt from the back, unlike some other Lilly Pulitzer rompers.  The straps are ...
