Always a classic

What girl doesn’t love spinning around in circles wearing a bright polka dot dress in the middle of a wide-open field on a beautiful sunny day? You know we do. The look may seem a bit dated, but with the right accessories, (try a long chain necklace and some bangles) your I Love Lucy dress won’t feel so Susie Homemaker.

Bathing beauty

But, contrary to what you might think, retro bathing suits are back in, just ask stars like Katy Perry and Taylor Swift! The best part is, the silhouette is instantly slimming and is great for jumping waves in the ocean or diving contests at the pool. With all the extra support, this suit won’ t budge!
