wishful thinking.

I have spent a good deal of time in the last few days pinning swimsuits to my "wishlist" board on Pinterest. Most of them have a retro cut, which I can attest is flattering on just about every body. Last summer, I broke down and bought No. 5 in black for my honeymoon in Cozumel. This is why this post is titled "Wishful Thinking." After a splurge like that, I don't think I can allow myself to buy another swimsuit for another five years. But, it really is the most luxurious, comfortable, and worry-free swimsuit I have ever had the pleasure of wearing. Sometimes good-quality beats out cheap. My landlord always says, "Cheap is expensive." It makes sense to me, but those three digit price tags are sure hard to swallow.

I have been drooling over No. 1 all week. I want it...real bad.

Yes, it is very wishful thinking. I know this. But, they are just so beautiful! I love the colors I am seeing this year. After a great tan, these pastel and bold colors will just pop. Now, I just need $200 and a tan.

Here are some of my favorites this season:

1. High Sun Bikini, Anthropologie

2. Seersucker Tank, J. Crew

3. Woven Vintage, J. Crew

4. Color-Pop Maillot, Anthropologie

5. Natalie One-Piece, Anthropologie

6. Retro Dot Bikini, J. Crew

7. Camera Pose Bikini, Anthropologie

8. Neon Floral Tank, J. Crew

9. Colorblock Bikini, Kooj at Etsy

It's ok if you swoon a little. I won't tell.

By the way, do you recognize that last one? Yes, it is a pretty close reproduction to Anthropologie's High Sun Bikini! You should check out the Etsy shop. You can have some very close reproductions for half the price. And, that's just a bit easier to swallow.

Do you have any favorite suits this season?
