This is the first bikini I've worn in over five years. While most make me run screaming for a cover up, this adorable retro looking suit, with its high waist and pretty plaid print, makes me feel quite wonderful!

Darling, you are absolutely stunning! I am actually so jealous of your swim-suit, it's almost exactly what I have been looking for, only I want a floral print. Great find! You look beautiful :)
If you could check out my blog, it would mean the world to me, you're a bit of an inspiration to me, and have been for a while now :)
Much Love,

very vintage and so stylish :) love from head to toe :)

That is a very pretty swimsuit! I'm quite self-conscious about my body so I rarely wear one but this one looks very conservative yet fun! Happy weekend, M! :)
I'm a one piece person, myself. Even when I did wear "bikinis" I wore shirts over them all the time. I usually buy one for my husband only but I wouldn't ever wear them out. I just feel like it is too much for others to see of me. Hope that makes sense.
anyway this is really a lovely set and I like that it isn't typical bikini, but more of a two piece that covers well enough.
thst bikini is just wonderful- so retro, and gorgeous on you, I have my eyes on a highwaisted one from H&M

Hey wow! Maria without her trademark red lips. You look lovely just the same. :)
The water looks so refreshing I wish I was there right now. Oh and your Clark Originals! They are great looking summer sandals.

This is the answer to my eternal search for the perfect swimsuit. you look beautiful.
it's really amazing Maria. You look great in a retro bikini! I love the pattern too.

Fabulous Bikini!! I'm a sucker for plaid! I so want to be here sunbathing right now, but I have to work :/
Stunning! You're a babe! ;o)
I LOVE the bikini and you look fantastic! Hope you had a great weekend.
You look great in that suit! If I had your thighs I would be a lot happier in a bikini. I've really wanted to try the high waist bikini trend (seems appropriate as i always wear high waist pants), but I'm not sure it will be flattering on me since my stomach is one of my better parts. Hm. May have to try one on. Your photo settings always look dreamy and make me want to live the city.
what an absolutely beautiful lake! I've never seen water that color on a lake. only thing MORE beautiful is that suit aka you. love. lovely lovely lovely.
I love that swimsuit! I've been lusting after it on ModCloth for a while.
Such a beautiful bikini! I think even I could get used to one like that!
Just gorgeous, Maria! It's making me ache for summer days spent at the lake drinking lemonade and swinging on tree swings.
Wonderful post!

That suit looks great on you Maria! I love the plaid print and the high waist is adorable!
Looks like a fun time by the lake :]
you are a real life pinup girl!! gorgeous. great photos and adorable suit.
I have almost those exact sunglasses.
I really like that bikini. I'm not a bikini person, but that one I think I'd wear.
what an adorable bathing suit! the water looks so inviting!

wow, thia bikini is terrific! I love your lake look :)
Maria I love this bikini! I need to get one for Summer, would you get mad at me if I got one? I think it would cover my big bum nicely. :P
How gorgeous!
I love this location!! I wanna go for a swim so bad now :) love the retro bikini esp the high waist briefs :)
Gosh, I just love how great you look. I'm terribly shy to take photos in a swimsuit. I have a plaid vintage style bikini. I haven't worn it yet. I'm so excited because now it's perfect swimming weather.
I got a similar dotted one from H&M, I already had a similar one from UO which I got last year and I can't wait to wear them already
Great suit and photos Maria! I love the vintage summer look.
What a great bikini!!!! You totally rocked it!
You look absolutely stunning! I really want that bathing suit but in the floral print ^.^
Maria, that bathing suit is absolutely amazing. I'm actually off to mod cloth right now to check it out. Thanks for the inspiration!
i love that swim suit! you look absolutely gorgeous in it. it's the perfect one for you. i bought a highwaisted suit recently and am so excited to pull it out!
You look gorgeous! I'm desperately looking for a high waist bikini but I also know that the last thing I need is to spend money on a bathing suit when I already have so many! You look so glamorous and beautiful in yours, Maria.

You're like a '50s movie star. One day, when I'm directing my own features, I would love to cast you as one of my leads, no joke. You have that retro look that I love! The bikini is amazing. I can't wear bikinis, but I do love '50s swimsuits!
