I can't believe I'm posting these pictures, ah well...here is my bathing suit. Living on the water means that you spend a lot of time in the water and build up an impressive collection of bathing suits. I have at least ten, but they are mainly from Target, Old Navy and PacSun sales in December. Why? Because salt water will basically guarantee that they lose their shape and color pretty quick if you don't rotate them.
This summer I wanted something a little different. I'm not going to the beach six times a week anymore and it felt like time for something a little more flattering. Immediately I thought of JCrew. Every summer I would sit and look at the pictures on the website and think, it was just too much for something I'm going to ruin by the end of summer. Finally I took the plunge and I'm so happy I did. This is by far the most flattering, comfortable bathing suit I have ever owned.
On our trip out east this is easily the outfit I spent the most time in. It makes me feel glamorous and playful, and not totally exposed. In my opinion, that is the mark of a perfect bathing suit.

I love this song! I keep singing it whenever I put on something purple. :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely agree about swimsuits - this bikini is so flattering and chic! You look great and carefree!
I have a bikini with the classic 50s high waisted bottom and I love it - I've never felt good wearing bikinis before I bought this one. 50s chic is the best choice for swimear. :)
ahh such a cute suite and you have a rockin bod!

Now that's a gorgeous suit. Really pretty.
ReplyDeleteI've been dying to buy a bathing suit for years but, since I've no place to wear one, I've refrained. The beauty of yours makes me want to get one, if only for wearing at home.
The bathing suit is beautiful, but I think the body wearing it is what makes it look so gorgeous. You have an amazing body girly!
ReplyDeleteSo adorable! I wish I had your tum. x hivenn
ReplyDeleteIt's a gorgeous bathing suit! Love the colour, and you look great in it :) I love a bit of Gogol Bordello as well xx
ReplyDeleteI actually love that bathing suit!
ReplyDeleteGood choice! It suits you very well. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's really lovely (oops, I mean amazing). I really want a retro inspired more covered up bathing suit, but will really have to get a better job first!
ReplyDeleteYour swimsuit is so gorgeous! <3 I love the dotted pattern, and the shade of purple is amaaazing! plus, you have an incredible body!

So I was THIS close to buying the one-peice version of this exact suit but then last minute I switched to something different. So funny though that we both got super similar JCrew suits this year. I love love love how the purple looks on you! Oh and thanks for driving me to Manhattan today.. hehe
ReplyDeleteYou guys looked like you had an amazing time! You deserve it! I LOVE purple on you!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that bathing suit! I've never seen that style. It's not too revealing, yet it doesn't cover up too much. The polka dots also give it a vintage feel. Great choice, girl!

Oh my, that bathing suit is soooo cute!
ReplyDeleteThat swimsuit is darling and so classic! I didn't even know J.Crew sold swimwear. I just moved to the california coast, so I'm going to need to stock up on some suits as well!
ReplyDeleteYou are so cute! Love the bathers and I MUST get some happy heart shaped glasses this summer
ReplyDeleteAdorable bathing suit! The little bows on the top are just perfect.
ReplyDeleteI only have one purple dress. Lovely photos, as always.
ReplyDeleteJCrew has the most amazing swimwear, and its really comfortable!
ReplyDeleteSuper pretty bathing suit, you look really great!
ReplyDeleteahhh look how cute you are, i spy some little freckles in the last shot. Damn you look great in that bathing suite. I've definitely been swooning over j crew's swim wear for years. totally worth it.
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty much the cutest bathing suit ever. I almost took the plunge and bought a JCrew suit this year, but didn't. Maybe I'll scour their sale section and see if anything is left...
ReplyDeleteTo answer the question you left on my blog, the aerialist is my good friend Tracy, whose blog ("The Closet Shopper") is also one of the six nominees. Tracy is a lovely person, a talented aerialist, and her POTY entry is about that hobby of hers. I met Tracy in person this Summer when she visited NYC from her home in San Francisco. (There's a post about that meetup.)
ReplyDeleteThat was the song that first got me listening to Gogol Bordello. Love their sound! And such a cute bathing suit, looks gorgeous on you.
ReplyDeletecutest bathing suit for sure, you pretty lady you!
ReplyDeleteYour swimsuit is just adorable! I love the purple and polka dots. It's so cute on you!
