Swimmy Suits

Yes, I am slightly obsessed with warm weather. Yes, I realized that it is a frigid 35 freaking degrees (Farenheit, that is about 1 for you Centigrade lovers) in my craptastic state. And yes, I do realized that I am grossed out by public pools so I probably won't go swimming anyway. But none of these facts are enough to prevent me from drooling over swimming apparel. And you should join me.

 Simplicity... Samatha Pleet for StyleLikeU

Despite the amount of runway fashion I frequently cite, I am not wealthy and I do not buy high fashion. I buy vintage. If I have something that is a big name designer it is either thrifted or designed for H&M, Target or the like. I am a college student for goodness sakes. I can't go around spending willy nilly on fantastic pieces. But this piece is amazing. A little romper that doubles as a swim suit. This is perfect for people (like me) who do not want to wear something skimpy. If there is anything runway style has taught me, it is that overt sexiness isn't stylish. And it is also just plain boring. So I will be on the lookout for something like this. Extra special bonus: it looks great with the hat (as if I needed another excuse to wear my boater...)

But lord you make it look so good.

This Antonio Marras getup consists of some amazing components that I will personally steal for my own excitement. First of, I am obsessed with high-waisted-ness. No, that is not a real thing. No, I do not care. My waist gets nervous when it is not being embraced by skirts or dress pants. I start to feel a bit panic-y if my midriff is showing (except for extenuation circumstances like extreme freaking warmth). Putting a high waist on a swimsuit is something that I have not seen before. But to be fair, this could be because I am a dummy. But I have seen it a lot since I started my swimsuit quest, and I love it.

Also, I really like the geometric aspect of this suit. I am not quite sure why, but the shape sort of reminds me of leaves or something, even though it is blue... This could be because I am an insano person. It could also be because I have always dreamed of a dress made out of banana leaves and I am projection. I don't really think the two are mutually exclusive.

Adorbs. From ModCloth... of course

This suit is really, REALLY cute. But also too expensive for my pretty little pockets, little being the oprative word. Pathetic really, considering it is under $100. I have been drooling over it (and the polka dot pattern with the same cut) for a while now. It incorporates the high-waisty thing (cha-ching!) with a really cool pattern (florals florals florals!) and comes from a company based in Pittsburgh. What more do you need? Well, for me about $50 bucks cheaper. But if I was a wealthy woman, I would get one in every color. And every size. Maybe not every size.
