It's very sad... I sit in class, dreaming about summer. I'm so tired of school and reading. All I can think about is escaping to Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, roaming the streets of New York in a slamming pair of heels and an outfit to die for. But instead, I learn about Chaucer's Wife of Bathe and Aristotle's Poetics. To keep me occupied, (since Fashion Week is a bit out of reach), I try to think about something obtainable, like summer, which will be here sooner than I think. Upon my beach dreams and moments of freedom from being glued to books and my highlighter, I discovered Urban Outfitters' Swim Lookbook. I was delighted to see these retro inspired looks. To me, a classic swim suit will always trump a modern string bikini. A vintage style swim suit is so much more flattering to the female figure-it's not all about showing off what you have, it's about refining and defining, in order to be confident and empowering. The mix of pastels and animal prints make for an exciting new take on the older style. Now if I only I could enter these pictures, and storm the beaches along with these beautiful ladies....
