Fantastic sale at VV

I've been getting the Vineyard Vines Whale of a Sale updates since last week, but I haven't really looked at the site at all. I've just been too busy, and since we are trying really hard to save $$ right now for a home purchase, I don't feel super comfortable spending my disposable income this summer. I'd rather save it for furniture, paint, etc that we'll hopefully see in our new future!

Well, this a.m. I took a look at their site, and there are some adorable things on sale, especially in the men's section! I'm loving:


I do not have the legs for these, but they would look fantastic on the right person!

This dress is adorable, easy to wear, would look great with a fun, colored shoe, and comes in two other colors!

My favorite piece! You could wear this anywhere!

We attended a lobster party each summer, and if B didn't already have a great pair of lobster pants, I would snap these right up!



Perfect summertime "go to hell" pants. Also great for a super preppy, fashionably daring sailor. B could probably be convinced into these :)

Cute board shorts

Cotton/cashmere sweater. Perfect for chilly summer nights and the rest of the year. Probably the most dollar/wear item on their website!

Cool swim trunks. They have a large selection of colors in their swim trunks. All of them are very fun.

Cute patchwork shorts. Great for a cocktail party by the lake.

Love this polo. The underside of the collar is the same color as the stripes. I adore when companies add little twists like this (one of the reasons I love the Salmon Cove polos so much!)

Anything over there you're planning to buy? There are also some cute kid's clothes for all of you mommies out there!!

Need help please!

For my birthday last fall, my mother in law got me the VV polo shirt dress in light pink. It's absolutely adorable, but this style of dress looks AWFUL on me. Every year I try on one or two in this style and every year I walk away thinking "so that's why I don't have any in my closet!" I've talked to B's mom about it, and since she got it last summer out east at a store that is only open in the summer, it can't be returned or exchanged. Bummer!! So, what I need your help with is would it be worth it to list it on ebay? I've never sold anything there before (though I buy occasionally). I'd like to get at least $50 for it as it's a $125 dress, still with the tags on it. At our local consignment stores in the city I'd get 50% of what they sell it for, and I bet they'd only put a $40 or $50 price on it. I really would like to see more than $20 for it. Does it cost a lot of money to list on ebay? It's a size medium, and I've never seen this dress listed on ebay, so that ups the "exclusivity" factor, but I don't know how many people (outside of preppy bloggers) that search for VV stuff on ebay in general.

Here are some pics to show you what I am talking about:



Anyone have any other ideas? Anyone out there in blogger world interested in an adorable summer dress? Trust me, it's perfect and would be great for running around all summer long!

Vineyard Vines - Free Shipping!!

I just got an email from VV stating that they are offering free shipping this weekend on orders over $75. It's a great time to stock up on a few items for spring/summer!!

For all you pink and green lovers with great legs!

Too cute. It would look great with a pink or kelly green top. I have navy and white monogrammed Bonannos that would be perfect with this!!

This would be much more appropriate for us northern midwest girls who need sleeves in the spring and even some summer nights. I could see this with a monogram on the left chest in light blue or white and a pair of white pants for the perfect casual June night out.

Is anyone going to shop this weekend? Does your husband need a new summer tie for weddings?
