With less than a month to go until my summer sojourn to the Côte d'Azur, my thoughts have turned to the dreaded topic of swimwear. Never an easy task, this year I have vowed to keep it chic and simple inspired by Romy Schneider's little black numbers in Deray's cult classic La Piscine. Pared with a crisp white shirt as a coverup and a battered pair of brown leather sandals, this look should see me through summer. Nothing left to do except pray for sun!

COS sold a great simple black bikini(http://www.cosstores.com/Content/ProductContent/0132741/0132741_11_0.jpg), but unfortunately I never got around buying it. :-(
ReplyDeleteI ordered a black 50's bikini for Topshop the other day(http://www.polyvore.com/geen_titel_867/set?id=54564435, I'm not entirely sure about the high waisted bottoms, but I'll give them a try. ;-)
I missed out on the COS one too! Their cuts are really flattering.
DeleteLet me know how the topshop one looks!
I've tried the high waisted one! Sweet but a bit too cover-up for holiday for my tastes. I'm still on the quest for the perfect black bikini!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a classic and no one wears it better than Romy Schneider. FLAWLESS!
