Just Keep Swimming, Swimming, Swimming

 Striped Bikini | Bikes & Stripes Maillot | Polka Dot Bikini | Floral Bikini | Chevron Bikini

Can you guess what's on my brain? Swimming! Beach! Anything wet that involves sunshine! Get in my life, ya hear? Just when we are all geared up and amped to hit the beach all day, eeryday, it decides to go all cloudy and poopy on us. 

So what do I do in the meantime? Search for that perfect retro bikini swimsuit. Which, can we talk about how hard it is to find these in actual stores? Let me know if you've had such luck, because I cannot for the life of me find a single one. 

Let's get to discussing each and every one, because it's only the appropriate thing to do for such an important decision. I've searched long and hard, and I do believe I've found my top picks around the webz. 

Up to bat first (starting from the top left)...

1) The striped retro bikini (top and bottom). Stripes: check. Bows: check. Retro: check. I mean, what else could a girl ask for? This one is a major contender for me.

2) Next we have the adorable retro one-piece. IT HAS BIKES ON IT. Need I say more?

3) She wore an itsy-bitsy, teeny weeny, pink and red polka dot bikini! Seriously, I kind of let out a squeal when I found this one (top and bottom). I'm a sucker for red and pink and I think it would be the sweetest thing for our days at the beach this summer. It reminds me of cotton candy, so that's kind of a win-win in my book already.

4) This little retro floral number is just plain cute. Right?

5) Can I get three cheers for a chevron-printed retro bikini (I am blithely aware of the fact that I have now used the word "retro" to an excessive degree, but that's what I am going for in the swimsuit department!)? I about fell off my chair when this beauty popped up in my face via my newsfeed this morning. Seeing that this one is the lowest price of them all, I just might have to make it mine. High five to you, Kingdom & State!

So, now the trick is picking one. Or two. Maybe three if I'm good? Help me! Which one would you pick? All five of them? Alright, you talked me into it... ;)
