I grew up in a breathtaking and picturesque boating town....sans boat. Well, I'm back and still no boat. And I'm really fine with that for a couple of reasons. Don't get me wrong, I love a beautiful sunset booze cruise (when land can be seen) and there really is nothing better than a catamaran snorkeling trip in tropical ocean waters (when land can be seen). So why will you never see me with my boater's license? For one, I am incredibly prone to sea sickness. I recently visited the Frying Pan in New York with my husband and friends and had drinks at the bar next to the ship. Within about a half hour I started to feel queasy and asked if anyone else felt the bar rocking. Unbeknownst to me, the bar was not on land but on a barge. Keep in mind this is a fairly sizable barge and is anchored in the Hudson River, not the Atlantic. I quickly forced everyone to abandon ship....that's right, I bring the fun. Reason number two, the movie Open Water has had a profound and chilling effect on me. I really don't want to tread water for days while sharks encircle me and I battle severe dehydration. And finally, I can barely keep my house clean, I can't imagine the upkeep of a boat.
This outfit is my way to live the nautical life while my feet stay firmly planted on land. This is a great outfit to take from day to night....flip-flops for the pool (or boat if you're so daring), heels for the bar. Add some jewels, paired with the natural glow from a day outside and some tousled beach hair....gorgeous!
