Summer 1954

Are you digging all the retro swimsuits out this summer? It’s about time!! I have a small collection of vintage suits in my dresser drawer. From early 50s to this retro suit I purchased new about 4 years ago. Found it on the sale rack at a Marshall’s. Lucky!! It was a couple sizes too big but I Kimified it and made it work!
I have a new favorite blog called We Heart Vintage (click HERE). Mary must have stacks of old magazines cuz she posts some of the coolest photos from the 20s – 70s from vogue, Life and others. The vintage swimwear shots below are all from her collection. This peachy orange suit is my favorite! If you LOVE vintage fashion like I do, you are in for a big treat!! For now…love up these great swimsuits. Click on any of the pix to get to the post at Weheartvintage.co.

Kimi you are timeless! Nice!
love this blog post, thanks for linking to We Heart Vintage! :)
i collect vintage suits – so hard to wear for me though. Those bullet bras are itchy! The retro style is a nice compromise and I don’t feel bad getting it wet!
YES!!! I hear ya. some are just better to look at, right??? I have a cotton suit prob early 60s late 50s that I love. I don’t swim in it but I log a lot of beach time with it. k.
