Summer started in our part of the world a little over a month ago. A lot of my (Facebook) friends have already gone to the beach. I haven’t seen a huge body of water since the year started but I’m hoping to finally dip my toes into some sand and swim to my heart’s content before the wet, cold weather arrives again.

When I’m at the beach, I don’t really care much about anything else but the water and, well, food. I’ve never been the type to put much thought on swimwear or resort ensembles. Mostly it’s because I don’t want to think of anything else but swimming and enjoying time with my loved ones, but sometimes the act of not caring about what to wear stems from many body issues, which I would save for another post.

 If I ever wake up one day feeling like I need to dress up for the beach (and feel comfortable about it), I would definitely don one of these 5 vintage-inspired swimwears.
