Too Much of a Good Thing?

Jump to Comments

As the years go by, you start to do things you never thought you’d do.  One would be:  purchase a bathing suit with a big, Kim Kardashian-esque, gold hoop on it (we do maintain that this is a very classy version of the good hoop on bathing suit look).  The second would be:  consider a matching bathing suit and cover up look.  After working at Sea Island for the summer in college and seeing enough families wearing matching Lily Pulitzer to want to poke out our eyeballs and wear black lipstick, we never thought we’d find ourselves in the matchy, matchy bathing suit category.  However, gotta admit, kinda like this.  What do you think?  Is it uber cute and dainty or is too much Milly swimwear just too much of a good thing?

  • I have to say. Sisters in matching Lilly bathing suits is still cute even to those in Lilly detox mode.

    Personally, I kinda like bathing suit top and bottoms that don’t match, so I don’t think I could do this matchy matchy outfit. But elaney is not surprised.

  • thumbs down.

  • i like both item individually, but not together. I like the suit a lot.

  • Very cute suit. I think the cover up is great too and totally fine to wear together.

    I had a Lily overdose when I worked at a Lily store for a summer in college. Just this year I bought a pair of Lily pants for the first time since 2001.

  • don’t like together or apart.

  • i like both!! my favorite part though is the kim kardashian style gold hoops- hot, doll.

  • elaney: ememli doesn’t like my bathing suit

    Reader Mo: neither did ct

    elaney: wtf

    Reader Mo: ct likes kay unger though…wouldn’t trust that

  • Truth be told, readers want to see posted on this blog a pic of elaney in this suit reclining mid-waterfall. We trust that melby can arrange the photo op.

  • rings are fun but…

    gross pattern. grosser price.

  • done. i will also have a large margarita in my hand. although reader melby will probably have a nice costa rican boy in his late tweens to early 20s on her arm which might make for a more interesting pic…

  • MrATL, always thrifty.

  • reader melby will take care of the waterfall pics and make sure elaney has enough material to do a post on spanish pick up lines she used to lure the costa rican men folk ;)

    (and elaney, puh-lease. you know i don’t go for the young ones!)

  • Elaney, you made me lol creating a visual of Sea Island.

  • MrATL, unless you are Scott Disick… you really need to shut it down.

  • Mo,

    Scott who? I guess I really need to shut it down.

    Thanks,
    MrATL
