Lilly Pulitzer Anyone? - Page 27

There's a sale coming up soon, right? I wonder if sorority stuff will be featured. Not sure if I'd buy anything though, I truly can't see myself using most of the rest...

Frame - More appropriate for collegiates--I already have one Alpha Xi frame in my home office, I'm good
Dry Erase Board - Again, I can see collegiates using this
Either Totes - I stick to my main big black tote but when I need a larger one I already have a nice Alpha Xi one
Bangle - I have tiny wrists/hands (my wedding set is a 3.5!) and therefore can't wear this type of jewelry. It literally slides off my hand.
Wristlet - I already have a Lilly one
Scarf - this is the ONE thing I'd consider if it came down to the right price
Make Up Bag - Pshh, I have too much make up to use just a bag and I have a Vera Bradley make up bag for traveling
iPhone Case - I heard all the Lilly phone cases wear out
Tumbler - I have a nice waterbottle I use daily

This...I am surprised that Vera Bradley hasn't jumped on the sorority trend and made prints with chapter colors and maybe one symbol. The company founders were Greek.

I'd be ALL OVER IT if they came out with a planner.

Me too! I'd love to see Vera sorority prints! I tend to like more of their prints.

I know that Pat Miller's a KD (initiated at Indiana), but I don't think that Barbara Bradley Baekgaard joined a sorority. I don't think she went to a school where it was offered!

Yay, I'm not the only one! My wrists and fingers are also very tiny (width-wise anyway.. my fingers are long!).. I've never been fitted for a ring, but I believe I'm about a size 4. The only bracelets I ever wear are either stretchy/fitted, or they're magnetic (i.e. a string of beads that are all magnetized and they wrap around my wrist a few times and "stick")

I think the scarf is the most useful of the items in the Lilly greek line. Perhaps if they had different products it would've sold better?

I thought about the scarf, until I saw it in person at the AOII Emporium. It is VERY thin and very short. So, not very useful even as just a decorative scarf. I did buy two Lilly tumblers as thank you gifts for my VPs of Recruitment last year (filled with candy) and they both loved them. Not sure If I'll buy a couple more for this year's VPs or not.

I've seen the scarf too and have heard a few complaints about the quality. I just meant that, in my opinion, it's the most useful for an alum because I doubt an alum would buy a tiny little whiteboard or such. I feel as though Lilly should've decided on different products perhaps or at least additional products, that were more geared towards alums.

This was exactly my impression. I was going to get my daughter a Pi Phi scarf, until I saw it in person at her campus bookstore. It didn't appear very durable, and it certainly appeared overpriced.

I can totally see why sales would be poor with the totally heinous prints they've put out lately. #boycottingscarypandas #pinkisnotourcolor

The new print isn't in the sorority collection, but it does have pansies on it!

Quite bright and cute, and not as insanely pink as they usually are.

lovespink88 · #12 08-02-2013, 03:42 PM

EEK! I thought this was a bump because of their sale. As I recall they have a big one around this time, right?

Amazon has non-sorority Lilly dresses on sale right now. (In case any PNM's are looking for a last-minute dress ... Free shipping too!)

Just picked up an agenda for my niece who's starting her senior year!

I just got an agenda for my birthday! I LOVE it!

ETA: Found my ONE issue with it...on some pages there's little doodles that kind of interrupt your writing space. Your little seashells are cute, but dammit I need all that room for planning!!!
