Beach Babe

Pool parties and beach days are on the horizon and I’m sure you know what that means… Swimsuit shopping season is upon us. This is probably one of the most dreaded shopping experiences that a woman endures on a yearly basis. We go to the mall or to a department store and get overwhelmed by the variety and options just to walk out with an empty bag of disappointment. The truth is: majority of the swim wear that you’ll find on the market is a bikini, and though bikinis are stylish, not every woman feels comfortable wearing one.

I’m excited to tell you that a Modcloth stylist approached me asking if I would style one of their pieces using a super fun app/website called Wanelo {stands for want, need, love}- I was assigned this adorable swimsuit:

Check out how I styled this suit Sailor Chic:Wanelo collage. I didn’t want to hide the suit away under a generic cover up, so I’m showcasing it as a top paired with nautical shorts and accessories for a day at the beach or a day aboard a yacht.

Check out how I styled this suit Retro Casual: Wanelo collage. Again, why hide this polka-dot beauty? Relax in distressed shorts and sneakers alongside a good record in the sun.
