Have you noticed? One piece swimwear is back in a big way. So despite my fear of vintage swimwear I absolutely had to own this suit!

I usually sport 2 pieces, but this print is so ridiculously flattering that even though it’s pretty demure, it feels sexier than even the itsy bitsiest of the teeny weeniest.
Vintage swimwear, swimdresses and cover-ups are made to flatter any body type.
you are so cute and so brave. Many bloggers write of buying bathing suits this time of year, but don’t have the guts to post pics! Bravo!
Very pretty. I wanna go out on my vintage ones now!
super cute! i love bows and arrows
is it true that olipom is closing?!
Lovely piece!!
Cute!
Wow. That is a stunner! Almost makes a swim-a-phobe like me want to splash around a bit.
I get skeptical about buying thrifted bathing suits, but I always find adorable ones ready for the picking. This one is especially sweet, I love the patterns!
Very cute, I just got fitted a few days ago for a custom made bathing suit. I can’t go get it!!
Sorry, I meant I can’t wait to get it : )
Gorgeous, and it looks great on you too! Kudos for pulling off the one piece trend.
Thanks Ladies!
Yes, I was sorta sweating over posting this, but I just love it SO much!
Terren, yes, Olivia is closing Olipom, but that just means that Bows & Arrows will be getting even BETTER. We went flea market shopping for Bows & Arrows last week so keep checking back!
i’m moving up to sacramento this summer and will be looking for good vintage and thrift stores…how are the prices at bows and arrows?
I too normally opt for a sexy bikini, but your hot one piece has inspired me to broaden my swimwear horizons. Love the sunglasses too
