Retro Beach Party?

I am now in search of a retro beach or boat party to attend and wear my new swimsuit. I just bought this Jantzen bathing suit at T.J. Maxx for $20 (gotta love end-of-season markdowns)!

I got it in this blended animal print pattern, which helps to hide the lumps and bumps better than a solid color.

This Jantzen Vamp, One-Piece, Ruched Bathing Suit channels retro-inspired glamour, while offering flattering ruching and removable straps for two great looks in one. (I still haven't tried the halter strap, if it doesn't lend some support, this suit might be getting returned.)

•Nylon/spandex
•Hand wash
•Adjustable, removable straps
•Self-tie at back with keyhole below
•Crossover design at bust; seam detail below
•Soft cups
•Slight side boning for extra support
•Ruched side seams; gentle ruching throughout

This style of swimsuit matches pretty spot-on Marilyn Monroe's bathing suit from her 1949 beach photo shoot:

I love me some Marilyn (three halloweens in a row, I dressed as her).
I love me some animal prints.
And I especially love me some vintage.
