However, the one you have I believe might be part of a pool side ensemble (or however you spell it). I recall, vaguely my relatives wearing swim suits that they didn't swim in and similar hats. They also had matching robes. I am not sure why they didn't swim but I guess if you were with guests and you chose not to swim then you would at least look stylish not swimming and sipping on your cocktail<br /><br />JosetteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-89052023342210455932012-06-30T14:21:22.675-04:002012-06-30T14:21:22.675-04:00I'll second Melody, that Givency Vogue pattern...I'll second Melody, that Givency Vogue pattern 2086 is stunning.
