If I were young, I'd flee this town.

I am experiencing a desperate longing for Summer. Must it be so very far away? But, considering the Southern California weather, Summer weather is only a few weeks away. So I don't find it too unreasonable to be bathing suit shopping. And even if I were dwelling in a very snowy place, like North Dakota for instance, I do think I would make an exception for bathing suit shopping in Winter for this little beauty.

How often does one stumble upon a navy blue velvet bathing suit? It is so stunning, and my favorite color to wear is navy. I am in the process of scrounging up funds to purchase this suit, but it is a slow process (considering the price of an intimidating $89.99). Feel free to donate.

This suit is featured in one of my favorite Modcloth photo collections, Swim Noir. I lust after all the swimsuits as well as the funky vintage hats and swimcaps. Here are some of my favorites.

So beautiful.

There has also been a rather noticeable reflection of my desire for the presence of Summer in what I have been wearing lately. Although it is not necessarily cold outside, I would not yet go as far as to say it is warm. So these last couple days have consisted of sun dresses and severe goosebumps, an accessory I did not intend upon.
