I must say, I never thought I’d be posting swimwear photos on S&P, but I’m just too in-love with this cute suit to keep it to myself! I love the retro style and punchy reddish-orange floral of this two-piece, and I have a feeling it’s going to stay in heavy beachwear-rotation this summer.
I think dressing for vacation is all about perfecting the multi-functional looks, and this is the second variation of the beachy brunch outfit I posted yesterday. Still rocking the bright orange headwrap here, and there were so many tweets/emails wondering how to recreate something similar, that I figured I’d share this silk scarf turban how-to that I made several seasons ago, in case it gives you some fun ideas on how to twist up your own styles for summer!
If you love it, please share the video with your friends, and check out the other Style Spice episodes on my YouTube channel, S&P-TV!

I was going to buy the same swimsuit! I wasn’t sure how it would look on me so I passed, but seeing how great you look I might go snatch it up! : )
damn girl!
What a great suit! Love that print.
Hey Jessie,
I love the first picture with the retro bikini and the little flowers in the background. Great setting! I love love love the shape of the swim suit, I’ll definitely opt for that this summer, although I am not as fit as you ;)
Take care

I love this! It so tastefully and modestly highlights the hot bod :) Well done, Jessie. Very well done.
I love the bright scarf! And I love the idea of using an oversized white button-up as a swimsuit cover-up – I’ll have to try that this summer.
Great swim briefs. Like the scarf in your hair
Wow, what a photo shoot! You look great in a retro bathing suit, and I just love it paired with the tied shirt, shades and flower. So beautiful!
Love the 5th photo Jessie. Gorgeous!

These photos are too cute! Love everything about this perfect retro sunbathing outfit!
Super cute girl!
Does your white blouse have SPF and Insect repellant woven in. Mine does. (Royal Robbins) Columbia sportwear has beautiful shirts for ‘expeditions’ to the water, in fine colors. Salt water blouses are well vented and have SPF, Fresh water have insect repellant as well. Worth the price. And, if you want your own color, use the dyes specifically for nylon and polyester. I have a wonderful “Apache Sunset” thanks to fabric dye. Carry on.
Really cute! Demure with the tie front shirt & boyshorts, and again, I love the scarf in your hair. <3

The white button-up was the perfect way to style that gorgeous retro bathing suit.

You are so darling. And I’m pretty sure you have zero oz of fat on your body. way to work it sexy mama!!!
Hi! I am a new follower and somewhat new to the blogosphere… I started following you for inspiration, which you are beyond providing. I don’t even know where to start with this!… I have said,as much fun as it would be to present fabulous bathing fashions, that I would not do what you are doing here. And, there’s no need, because YOU are doing it so well! That bathing suit is to die for… the shirt, turban, glasses, jewels, stylish, images, coloring, natural lighting, the smile, your figure… Awesome post!
Warmest Regards, Whitley Adkins Hamlin
