swimsuit/hat help please!
 
okay- so i've ordered my swimsuit for my trip in april... PLEASE let it get here on time and fit me and/or have enough time for an exchange :carrot:


now... i need a hat. now i know it might not be the most stylish thing but i dont like tanning... at all. my arms are a completely different shade than my legs because i wear pants so often :lol:

so, i need a beach hat. i want something big and floppy but my problem now is color... i'm wearing (hopefully) a white one piece (i know... should i just order a black one? its my skin tone i want it to look best with...)

white with white?

black- http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ini4/black.jpg
they're all from the same site, luxurydivas.com

theres are reds which i might like.. might be bolder... but do i WANT to be bold? i like the white one, its sweet i think. they have ... pretty much all sorts of colors- i'm just so unsure as to what would look the best, i'm already going to be nervous about wearing a swimsuit in front of these gorgeous (and skinny) girls :o

oh- the swimsuit i hope to have is this

http://www.amoeba.com/dynamic-images...postcard--.jpg refer to this pic and I think you'll see why white is great!

IcassiopeiaI 03-19-2010 07:26 PM

oh i know! now if only i could magically look like THAT! :lol:

mescelestus 03-19-2010 07:36 PM

It's good for your self esteem to pretend...That's what I do lol!

IcassiopeiaI 03-19-2010 07:38 PM

haha you made me laugh, i'll keep telling myself that

I think the swimsuit you chose is perfect, and I bet it looks great in white! It's got a really flattering cut that looks like it can emphasize your best parts and hide any tiny flaws.

I would definitely go with the white hat. I think it's the cutest of the bunch! Also, if you end up wearing the hat elsewhere, white goes with everything.

You'll look awesome in April!

I LOVE that swimsuit! I've been searching for one like it for the longest time!!! Where is it from?

Aclai4067 03-19-2010 08:47 PM

I like the white hat as well.

neonwildflower 03-19-2010 09:18 PM

Agreed on the white suit with the white hat. Especially because you could always throw some colour in there by way of a beach wrap, sari, or cover up, or fabulous accessories! Marilyn, watch out!

IcassiopeiaI 03-19-2010 09:31 PM

yay! i'm glad my taste isnt completely off :lol:

the swimsuit is from esther-williams.com its the sheath in white. they have lots of different patterns but no pictures of them erm... wth? the website is... depressing really i would never have bought it based on those pictures/info but i found out its the same swimsuit i'd seen with actual pictures of the different angles etc on different websites

the pictures they have there are just - not good. but that picture is from modcloth, where they renamed the swimsuit the 'bathing beauty' i also found it on various retro/rockabilly boutiques and found out that the swimsuit is from, guess where? esther williams. so i was like hmmm go to the source. so i did, and not only is it cheaper, i could actually buy it (most other shops sold out and i would have to wait on restock)

oooers! loves all but especially the polka dot one. it would look so glamorous. just add red lipstick and white sunglasses....rwoar.

IcassiopeiaI 03-19-2010 09:35 PM

psshh i have got red lipstick woman! i am obsessed with retro looks i just am so afraid i cant pull them off so i dont wear things like that often, but i've got the pin up style make up complete with lipstick!

i could never look like marilyn but i figure with my dark features i could eventually go for a bettie page =D

redliss7 03-19-2010 09:47 PM

Marilyn is overdone anyways...Bettie Page is sooooo hawt right now :D

I really like the white hat, but I would be worried to get it dirty around the water/sand/etc. So, I would probably go with a different color. Since you chose a white suit, you could really pick any color hat and it would work. I like the idea of red, though as you said that might be bold. You could always go for a light pink to be girly or a yellow since it's summery. :)
BTW, I totally feel you on staying out of the sun - I burn easily too. =/

I say white hat with super colorful accessories. Have fun shopping!!

IcassiopeiaI 03-21-2010 02:30 AM

i'll go with the white i think.... maybe i'll get a color one as well, i dont know haha but i tihnk the white just looks cute

and grr fun is not what this is! maybe for the accessories but i'm all nerves as far as the swimsuit is concerned

AndreaMarie 03-21-2010 08:35 AM

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that bathing suit!!! I'm going to the beach in June and I'll have to look for one similar!! I like the black hat with the white suit BUT I love black and pink accessories with white.

Keep in mind that the black hat will absorb the sunlight and may make your head really hot but that will also keep the sun from your eyes.
