While thrifting a few months ago, I stumbled across this amazing black & white polka dot sweetheart neckline & mesh bathing suit from the 50s or 60s. It was originally for the shop but once I tried it on, I knew it belonged to me (how many times have you guys heard THAT story?). I don't wear it all the time (we are a beach city, so I try to go to the beach as often as possible!) because I want it to stay in top condition for as long as possible, but it really is my favorite. I know there are creepers online so I obviously didn't want to post bathing suit pictures, so I actually wore the bathing suit as a bodysuit, thew on a skirt & heels, voila!
I've been lusting after the Esther Williams suits all summer, but summer is quickly coming to an end & I suppose I will just save extra next year.. I really want a red classy one piece. Do any of you guys have an Esther Williams suit? Any thoughts?
That is so cute that you wore your bathing suit as a top! I have a really cute suit that is bandeau style and have wanted to wear it for the longest time as a top but wasn't sure if people would notice it was made out of swimsuit material or not, but these pictures look great!
ReplyDeleteAlso I don't have an Esther Williams swimsuit. I actually haven't heard of that brand so I'm off to check it out!
Pretty pictures! I love the classiness and simplicity of the suit, and you look stunning in these pictures. I need to find the perfect suit before I go to New York later this summer -- we're thinking of going to Fire Island!

It's amazing, you finding that swimsuit. It's difficult to find vintage bathing suits like that. Heaven knows I've tried a thousand times! I'm constantly looking through the swim sections for 1950s one-pieces, but I still haven't found a one. You look really great in the swimsuit from what I can tell, and I like the whole ensemble in general, you definitely made it work!
ReplyDeleteCute outfit! I love that neckline. Super flattering on you too:)
ReplyDeleteGood luck finding the perfect shades. They're such statement pieces for me, especially living near the water like you do.
ReplyDeleteAnd a vacation coming up!! Lucky lucky.
