Swim Stripes

Mikoh Swimwear Laguna one-piece, Equipment Blouse (similar), Safari hat (stolen from my dad). 

Two things I've discovered this Summer when it comes to the old wardrobe: one, a handful of different stripes can pair well together, and two, a one-piece swimsuit can be incredibly sexy. After a spontaneous dip in the pool I threw on this Mikoh Laguna one-piece suit and couldn't believe how good I felt in it. And to play off of the striped pattern I paired it with a favorite Equipment top (also seen here and here), topped off with a zebra safari hat stolen from my dad—his best purchase of the 70's if you ask me. P.S. how rad our these photos my friend Will Adler took with film? Check out his website here.

You definitely wear it well and I can't get enough of the hat.

I agree a one piece can be very sexy - It leaves something to the imagination ;)

Just scored a cut out one piece myself and can't wait to wear it. definitely have some ideas now :)
