We Sailed on to the Sun...

I'm feeling inspired by Retro Swimwear from the 40's, 50's, and 60's. These photos show how playful, and colorful the swimwear was. Girls often accessorized they're beach gear with cute hats, printed cover-ups, large sunglasses, headbands, and sometimes with a flower in they're hair.
