Spend-Worthy: Rachel Pally Vargas Bikini from Anthropologie

Been dreaming of my (hopefully soon) honeymoon to Block Island, Rhode Island with my delightful husband. Yes, you read the right – we got married on May 12th and still haven’t taken a honeymoon. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we get to go before the end of August (when the Fall college semester starts up).

The only wrench in our plans? My husband got promoted at work last week (hooray!). Now he’s a manager and will be running a retail store. You know what that means: longer hours, more commitment. We still need to talk to his district manager to find out if he would be able to get a week off in early August … keeping my fingers crossed!

Anyhoo, Block Island and beaches have been on my mind a lot (thanks, Coastal Living) … which also means I’m thinking about summer attire. I’ve had this bikini bookmarked for almost a month & I’m saving my pennies to be able to get it for our honeymoon.

Available exclusively on Anthropologie’s website, the bikini is designed by Rachel Pally. The 1950s style is just enchanting & the nautical stripes make it perfect for any New England beach. I’m a sucker for high-waisted anything too (no, I don’t think it makes me look like a granny!). I’ve actually been searching for a bathing suit just like this for a few seasons, but every one I find it made by some overblown Italian brand that wants $500 for it. Thankfully, Rachel’s version is much more affordable.
