Retro Inspiration in case you already don't get it

I think these images epitomize everything I want from my future one piece, retro-inspired swimsuit.
I won't do my normal peanut gallery commentary as I think these images speak for themselves.

Now all I need is a cute swim cap and some blueberries.

    I love that grapes shot.
    I scored the most amazing vintage circa 1950's "prude suit" at Urban Outfitters (of all places!) last week. I found it in their urbanrenewals section. It's to die for. I have a major thing for vintage onepieces. I hope you come across a treasure.

    This is what swimsuits SHOULD look like - I'm a card carrying member of the modesty movement :) SO much easier on us all! The last example (green) is just beautiful - the cover up with collar makes the look.

    These images are gorgeous! I l-o-v-e the plaid swimsuits. I have the blueberries in my fridge, now I just need one of these beautiful suits!

    Thanks so much for your oh-so-sweet comments on my blog this week (regarding my Dad and everything else). It really means so much to me!

    Love these! Nice pics. Especially like the third one and the last one- the green suit with the jacket is just too cute.

    Love that last on of Sunny Harnett sitting on the sand dune.

    And there is a ruffle-deep-v-one-piece I have been drooling over by Salt swim.

    This is how I always want to look at the pool! The plaid suit at the top is just gorgeous!
    I love the pale peach one second from the top below. Just looks so flattering and sopisticated.

    The first one is my favorite! I love them all, and have always thought one piece swimsuits were the sexiest and most flattering.
