Let's Talk About Swimwear

Honestly, shopping for swimwear was never that big of a deal to me.

Basically from after high school I worked in the summer months.

I wasn't laying out like I did in my teen years.

So shopping for a swimsuit was only when we were getting ready to go on vacation.

Basically, how I'm shopping now ;)

We leave soon for the Outer Banks and I would love a new swimsuit that makes me feel good.

I have quite a few of them from previous years, but there is something about going on vacation with a new one.

So far this year I haven't found one I love :(

I have tried Target and Amazon so far.

Actually, I have two new ones from Amazon that should be arriving within the week so fingers crossed they are the ones!

Everything I have tried is super cute, and the quality has been really good for the price.

So I decided to share them all with you in case you are in the market for a new swimsuit as well.

I'm just putting this out there....I don't wear a one piece.

I have one in my collection, and it rarely gets worn.

I have an odd length torso so they never look good on me, and I pee WAY TOO MUCH to have to rip that wet thing off and on all day.

I own one Tankini top.

Again, they just never fit me right.

I bought one a few years ago because I knew I would be around some friends and their kiddos and didn't want to look odd in a bikini.

So that leaves us with a basic two piece bikini.

I have different types of them.

Bandeau top, halter style, lace up, etc.

Most my bottoms are the basic bikini style with medium coverage.

I do have one bottom that has high waist. Not my favorite.

However, it is can be adjusted and pushed down a bit so that is why I kept them.

Now that I got all that out of the way...you still here?

I'm going to share a couple of my suits from years past that are still available, and a few new ones I have tried recently.

And don't worry, I'm not sharing myself in any of them.

I'm not a size 0...and I'm ghostly white!

I tried to find more of my suits that I know are available in store, but I can't find them online.

I have a couple from the Shade & Shore brand.

High Neck Halter Bikini Set - This is a cute and simple option I picked up a few years ago.

High Waisted Lace Up Halter Bikini Set - These are the high waisted bottoms I referenced above.

I really like how this suit fits, and the ease of adjusting the height of the waist.

Mid Waist Lace Up Bikini Set - I ordered this in the white/green option.

This should arrive by early next week.

It is super similar to the style above, so I'm really hoping this one works out :)

High Waisted Criss Cross Bikini Set - I ordered this one in the purple/pink tie dye option.

Tops are SO HARD to shop for for me!

Most the reviews sound like this could be a winner for me as well.

Halter Bandage Bikini Set - I almost kept this one.
The fit is TTS, and I really liked these bottoms.
The top size was just slightly off for me, so I returned it in the end.
If you aren't bigger busted, I would totally suggest this one!




High Waisted Wrap Around Bikini Set - Same goes for this one as the one above.
The waist is much higher on this bottom if you are looker for more coverage.
Again, this top style is great for a smaller bust size.

I also tried a couple options from Target, but they aren't available online right now.
One was a tie dye scoop style top with bikini bottom - they are mix and match.
Super cute, but the scoop style doesn't look very good on me.

I would love to hear your thoughts now!
Where do you shop for swimwear?
