Now that it’s nearly 95F every day, I’ve started working on my 1920s bathing beauty inspiration board. In a hot place like Austin, it’s always wise to wear a bathing suit under your clothes at all times, because who knows when an impromptu pool dip at an unlocked apartment complex may be in order? Sometimes it’s just too hot to bother with rules!

This is my swimming costume from the 1950s. I traded a girl for it about seven years ago – I had one of those “Mary is my Home Girl” shirts and for some reason this girl really wanted it. I’d say I got the better part of the trade!
These four suits are from Drama Queen on etsy, who hand makes vintage inspired suits. I have my eye especially on the absinthe colored one!
