Outfit to Room: Swimsuit Edition

Would you believe that although it's nearly August, I've not worn a bathing suit once this summer? Between a heavy workload, the chilly San Francisco weather, and a Huz whose attitude towards sunshine is positively vampiric, my shabby old bikinis languish at the back of my drawer. How I would relish an excuse to pull them out--or better yet, buy a chic new one!

With no beach-worthy days on my horizon, some swimsuit-inspired Outfit to Room action will have to do. I've yet to brave the 60's vibe of a retro one piece, especially one with a v-cutout this deep; it's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen! But a mid-century bedroom suits me just fine.

If I were to purchase a new suit, I'd definitely explore this year's fun floral options. There's something about this sensibility that reminds me of laid-back days at an ocean-front cottage, lounging about munching on fresh fruit and reading epic novels from sunup to sundown.

And while it's not my personality at all, I do wonder what it's like to be that girl: the one who hangs out poolside in Vegas, wearing towering heels with a psychedelic halter maillot. I'll have to convince the Huz to take me to the Bellagio for a weekend. All in the interest of 'research', of course!

Tell me: What's your bathing suit style?

Tee hee - let me know which convincing tips work best re: vegas and the Bellagio, I'm happy to do some research there, too! lol Your quip about the last girl made me chuckle. Neat feature as per xo

I usually go the bikini route but there are so many stylish one pieces.

[Kelly]

Bikini for sure. Love these photos. :)

[Kenziepoo]

Wow, love this one!!

[PriscilaPetersDecor]

The bathing suit number 2 is my favourite! I love the deep V neck. It's chic.

[Punctuation Mark]

I love this post... great pairings with the interiors! have a great weekend!

[Charlotta]

Loved this Anne! The swim suits are great and you teamed them with the rooms with perfection!

Yes, OMG. To be that girl with the legs that go on for ever... :)
I am probably more no 2 or 3.

For an excuse to buy a fab bikini (or two) - think of your trip to Sydney. Make the most of the Summer sales and stock up. You'll definitely need at least two coming here in December. It is SO hot then!

Love the swimsuits and the rooms they are paired with. If I had to pick a favorite it would be number 3. I loved the laid back feel to the suit and the room.

[...love Maegan]

[...love Maegan]

...and now, after reading your commentary on the last one makes me giggle even more ...the husband just booked our Vegas trip for the second week in August lolol!

[rachel]

I love this post :)

hope you're having a wonderful weekend, anne!

[Marsha Harris (Splenderosa)]

Yes, definitely GO to Bellagio (but go when it's not full); the fountains & the pools are simply to die for. However, now that MGM owns it there are strollers everywhere (Steve Wynn didn't allow kids)& the place is packed at all times, so it has lost some of it's beautiful luster. Today, I have a blog award for both you & Crystal at my place. I am just so happy to know both of you lovely, young creative women. You rock!

[Ijeoma]

Am a shy girl, so I tend to buy one piece bathers. Beautiful vintage looking ones, I adore!

[mom]

AS you know, Sis, I was at the Bellagio a couple of weeks ago, in the name of research of course (flavin), and I can guarantee you that I did not see anyone looking like this along the poolside!

Hugs,
Mom

these are beautiful and you have captured the ambience of summer, art, fashion and experimentation so well. i totally agree with you about the difficulty of wearing cut-out pieces but don't they look great! i love the romantic bikinis (ruffled behinds, florals etc!) they are irresistible.thank you for introducing me to some new swimwear labels. your blog is fab!
