Sail Away

After receiving my new vineyard vines catalog panic ensued when the sailboat motif threatened to take over the pink and green Lilly's in the closet. (More on that later)
I love a boat print just as much as the next prep, but there is one major problem with nautical.
Red looks like shit on me. Really bad. Like a tan tomato bad.
As sweet as my coworkers are at trying to convince me otherwise, I just can't get over it.
That's such a shame because as you all know, 4th of July just isn't the same without a good glow in the dark Lilly short.

I caved in.
Tomato aside, I ordered the pants and bought a few red tops for good measure.
Anticipating the arrival of my nautical nirvana I cleaned out the Lilly's and sent them to the E-Bay chopping auction block.
Well they all came back up because the rise on these sailboat jobbies is high. I mean old lady high.
Perhaps I am not the target amazonian sorority sister, but I am under 60. So please Shep & Ian, drop the rise. At least to the belly button.
No one looks attractive with a camel toe. Even one covered in sailboats.
