Get Funky - II

If I had one wish, it would be to time travel and see what it was like in other eras. For now, fashion and bikinis will take me there. So glad you joined me!

If you could go back to one time era what would it be? Picture this, one day you wake up and there is a time machine sitting in your room. There is a note taped to it- it says “with this machine you can go to any era you want, but you have to stay there for the rest of your life.” How scary, facing the unknown of a new time period. Technically the life we live in right now is unknown but we also have some knowledge of things. We know how things are in a way and we know the basics of how everyone acts. We know the social norms. However, there are so many things in the current time that pop up and we have no idea what to deal with. On the other hand, facing a new reality could almost be more difficult because we would have barely any background knowledge. Here are some things I would consider if put in this situation. One, what do I know about the time period (for example a few years ago I went through a World War 2 phase, I read many books and did a lot of research) just having this knowledge of that time period I probably would steer clear of that decade. Second, I would think about fashion and trends. I have always wanted to live in the eighties, but I want my teenage years to be in that decade. So I may choose that or the nineties simply based on fashion and music. Let me know if you have any other thoughts about what you would take into consideration if you were offered this opportunity. Or, would you choose to stay in the present time? Trends are coming back and so is music- would you want to keep your life the complete same and turn down the time machine offer?

Let’s pretend I used the time machine and went back to the eighties. I would prayyy to go to a party and have all of the music playing. I am a throwback girl, I love Ice Ice Baby, I love Dr. Dre I love low waisted pants and I love Getting Funky. If I could pack three things from my current closet to bring I would choose this suit as one of them. I feel like if I went swimming in the summer it would be perfect and I would fit right in, the beads and colors would definitely pop! I think the only thing that would have to be changed is the sun glasses, they should be changed to bright pink or yellow thin sunnies. If I had that, I would be set for a warm Summer day in this time period.

This swimsuit was bought from Shein, and is a two piece set. The strings can be tied in a variation of ways, making it appear as a one piece in some shots. The strings can also be tied in a bow in front, which is what I did when I wore the bikini later in the day. I love how the strings look crossed along my body, but sometimes I do not love the tan lines- don’t get me wrong I love tan lines but when I am modeling sometimes they can get in the way.

This swimsuit is so fun and so is this photo set. I hope you have all enjoyed your Wednesday and I will see you on Friday. XOXO
