I partook of the Lilly Pulitzer Endless Summer Sale. It was incredibly stressful and I wish I could bill Lilly for the time I spent trying to make a purchase. I probably would have recouped my expenses.
I had a plan. I brought work to do from home so that I could work at home in the morning for a bit and then go in after making some sale purchases. My plan didn't quite work out. At 8ish I tried to look at the sale offerings--I had a list! I was hunting for a Charlene Dress in Navy, a Logan Dress in Lazy Hazy, Resort Bermuda Shorts in Lagoon Green Moving Slowly, a MarieKate in Hotty Pink, a Foley in Turquoise, a Tabitha in Sunrise Orange, something in Glenda Green Pretty Gingham, a Delia in Cha-Cha, Get Nauti Callahans or a Get Nauti Recut something or other, a Rylan, a Sea Island Tunic Dress, an Athens Dress in Holla for a Dollar, a Dioone Dress in Sunkissed, Somersets, and a High Beams Recut something or other. I knew I couldn't get everything on my list but I needed some direction.
I could not view lillypulitzer.com. I went to some via stores and most of them were loading slowly if at all too! Eventually I ended up with an Athens and Delia in my cart but then I hesitated since neither of those dresses would get much use in my life and someone else bought them. Lilly's website was still down so I loaded it up on my phone and drove to work.
Eventually I was able to check out with the Foley in cart. I fixated on that one instead of anything else for some reason and I was so worried I would lose it. They are still in stock on lp.com but the other things I may have wanted are sold out everywhere. My phone would not load my shopping cart again after I checked out with the Foley.
I was distracted at work all day. Went to a ballgame. Then I came home and seriously looked for other things I had wanted. I got them at Under the Palm Tree. Then Under the Palm Tree emailed me to let me know that the shorts I wanted were out of stock. But my polo shirts were on the way.
So the next night I went looking for my glenda green pretty gingham shorts and I found them and a size large MarieKate in Hotty Pink at The Pink Palm. And, they were in stock!
On the last day I went in for a final bite of the apple and I have nearly completed my Lilly Pulitzer lace rainbow. I ordered a Sunrise Orange Tabitha from the Pink Palm.
I cannot wait for all my goodies to show up. I already have the Turquoise Foley and I can't wait to wear it.
All in all I ended up spending less than I spent last year. Though I ended up spending far more than I had planned on spending. Of the things I bought during the ESS last year, there were eight items still NWT that I sold while still NWT. I think I will get use out of these lovely dresses.
