I’ve developed a graffiti obsession. So I was totally craving this stupendous vintage graffiti bathing suit from Rice and Beans Vintage.
Click the photo to go to the site.
If it weren’t so difficult to get the fit right on a bathing suit — challenging enough in person but more so online — I would have bought it immediately. Someone else was braver than I and got it! I think I have non-buyer’s remorse. Yeah, I definitely do. Somebody hold me!
“So heeeeeeeeeereeeeeeeeeeee I am
with ooooooooooooopen aaaaaaaaaarms!!!!!!!!”

ADORE
Ooh, I am sorry. I know it feels like you will never love another bathing suit like you loved this one, but trust me there are more out there. Hold your head up high and just wait, they will come to you.
LOL, sorry I just had a piece of chocolate, sugar rush!
This one is really special – would suit you very well.
Oh I recognize that non-buyer’s remorse. Wasn’t it what drove you back to CFR for the zigzag dress?
ooh I hate non-buyers remorse, it makes me feel obsessive. Try to forget! Move on, plenty more bathing suits in the sea!!
This is really a quirky one!
It seems part of my vivid dreams. I’m sorry you didn’t snag it.
That is one fantastic looking one piece. Love that my Anti-spam word is Paris – isn’t that where you just came back from
there there, darling.. It just wasn’t meant to be..
Now perhaps you can get CFR to design one for you? Or for the masses?
just coool!
i love it! a funky alternative to florals
wow…the coolest bathing suit ever! wish it came in a 2 piece…1 pieces are not my friend.

Nina, that was my hesitation too. I think it’s so much easier to find a bikini that fits than to find a one piece.
you could always try and make your own.
Wooow! Cool bathing suit!
Your blog is great! I will start to follow!!!
That is a pretty cool bathing suit. The neckline for some reason really bothers me… As for myself and bathing suits, I prefer the bandeau two piece to maximize sun exposure!

@ Dreamsequins, yeah, that is NOT a flattering neckline. You’d have to wear this for the print alone!

Loves it!
And yes I have had inverse buyer’s remorse too…

wow that is bold, glad someone will be rocking it even it if itsn’t you
Faux graffiti fabric is great. Not sure if I should try to make a graffiti shirt with real spray paint though. At least, not inside.
Not to mention how childlike that mannequin is…..
i get non-buyers remorse a lot i am way too much of a bargin shopper
I think that the first graffiti in the pool was done by David Hockney. But, now thanks to CFR you can take the graffiti to the beach too.
I hate those could of, should of feelings…. giving you a hug! : )
Hi there-thats a stunning one piece, hope you manage to find something similiar!!

Ahh, but it could’ve passed for a tank top with a black or red skirt! Wait, why am I trying to INSPIRE buyer’s remorse …
That is the most awesome onepiece- I love it, Wendy B!
Dammit, I love that. So much so that I am feeling remorse on top of your remorse! You could have always framed it and hung it on the wall trophy head style.
You could always console yourself with a new toy:

Or an amazing lamp:

you can get over it. buying a bathing suit without trying it on is downright reckless!
graffiti rocks!
I like the idea, but I am with the others on the try before buying rule!
OMG! That is so awesome and I would wear that as a bodysuit!
I’m sharing your grief!
It is really one of the most beautiul suits I’ve ever seen. Truly!
And you’re jewelry pieces are amazing!!
You’d definitely stand out from the all-black bathing suits in that one!
Fun print! But I’m going to go all karma on you….it wasn’t meant to be. Now let’s go have a Mojito and plot vengeance on the buyer

Ahhhhhhhh, I hate trying on swimsuits yet it’s so necessary. After looking at the pics of myself recently I realized the outfit post is going to have to wait a bit. I need to step up the workouts. Chubsville. Ah ha
OHHH I love it but I know what you mean about trying on swimsuits.
I’ll do your makeup, you provide the white peach sangria. OH YES I saw that on Twitter!
Such good times, such fanciful fashion, such colors and shapes and talents. Thanks for sharing your vacation with us!
And Happy Anniversary to the two of you!
Sorry! I have to comment again so that I can use the Anti-spam word that popped up–madqueen.
It’s perfect for the only one I know who could be a mad queen–that’s our WendyB. Sometimes she’s mad, as in angry. Sometimes she’s mad, as in mad-cap-life-loving. All of the time, she’s the queen!
I love this suit. It’s an incredible design. You could even wear that with a skirt or short and add some hot accessories. Poof! You’ve got the look!
xo,
Jessica
Well it is def interesting…
This swimsuit is gorgeous! I was just thinking of one-pieces. I hope you bought it…
