What I bought at the Lilly Pulitzer sale

I posted earlier about the Phila area Lilly sale.
Arrived Friday morning at 8:50. I was number 506 in line, but really
only waited an hour. I went alone, and chatted with the others in
line about prior Lilly sales (this was my first), so the time passed
quickly. There must have been a few campers, because the floor had a
few discarded pillows and spilled coffee cups.
When I was let in, I hit the petite section first. Grabbed a green
suede mini for $69.00 (retail 150). I then picked up 2 pairs of
pants, neither of which was traditionally Lilly in style: black fine
whale cords and slate blue pin stripe pants with multi color pin
stripes, each about $69. Then, onto capris. I took a pair of these
in a mosaic print, about $59.00. I got my mom a jog set made of super
soft terry in turquoise with a hoodie, about $39 each piece. In
search of a non–strapless dress, I found a nice shift dress in a
Venice Beach pattern with double bows on the back for $69.00. A
friend asked me to get her a shift too, and I scored her a nice one in
a crab pattern on the sample rack for $36! A matching tee for the
capris was $19, and matching shoes were $35. I found a white cardigan
on the seconds table for 9 bucks, it had a coffee stain which washed
out easily. A similar cardigan in pink was $49, of course I bought
this.
I spent way more than I expected, but I know these will get a lot of
wear! BTW, a friend works at the sale each year and told me about
women dropping their clothes to try things on. Not wanting to wait
for the dressing area, I became one of those stripping women!!!
