Why are there no pockets in my denim skirt?

One of the many admirable things about Lilly Pulitzer clothing is that it usually has pockets. Which is great, because sometimes you don't want to carry a bag, or you just want to look tragically uninterested with your hands in your bright pink pockets. This wonderful feature even comes with many of the nice dresses.

So why, oh why, does my denim Lilly skirt not have pockets? It has cute buttons, yes. But no pockets. Even though denim is a fabric we associate with pockets. Generally five. Not on skirts, it is true, but the prevalence of pockets even in jacquard Lilly dresses makes me feel hard done by.

Incidentally, in case you were wondering, my diamond shoes are too tight.
