Pinky red gingham high waisted bikini - Asos
As you read this i'll be sunning myself in 28 degree weather on holiday in Turkey. God this holiday was well needed this year! I've taken these two beauties along with me. The orange one I brought last week and the gingham one was a purchase from last year. I think the orange - so much more neon in real life - one is for posing only as it doesn't feel too secure on! Flashing everyone in the pool is not on my agenda. I absolutely adore this retro style. My boyfriend thinks the bottoms look like a nappy but I love how it all sucks me in and makes me feel much more confident by the pool. My dreaded love handles suddenly vanish! Plus I like to pretend i'm a 50s siren in Cannes. Who doesn't?
Have you given into the high waisted trend?
I love the high waisted style so much more flattering although I think been a short arse they make me look sorter.......if that's even possible xxx

ReplyDeleteThese both look lovely. So envious of your holiday! Unfortunately I have a really short body so high waisted bikinis do nothing for me but I do love the retro look! x
ReplyDeletelovely blog dear!
ReplyDeleteOh I love the look of the gingham one, but I don't think I'd ever be brave enough for a bikini, flattering high waist or otherwise :(
ReplyDeleteSO JEALOUS of your hollibobs Sophie, you lucky thing! Love these swimsuits, more is definitely better when it comes to clothing on the beach haha! I might get a 50s swimsuit this year too, I never EVER bare my tum the rest of the year so it's so weird doing it for a week at a time haha! ♥ Claire at Jazzpad
