This is a semblance of an outfit, y'all. Sure, it looks like it might also be a Land's End swimwear shoot, where you can get that same sarong in about 23 different colors -- four of them heathered! -- and I actually think you might be able to see her blush from space.
AND the top doesn't fit -- it's too tight -- and the construction on that skirt seems quite bad now that we're up close to it. So yes. Emily is trying. I just don't know that the designer was matching her effort.
