It's time for Fashion Friday yet again. This week the D.C. area (and pretty much everyone below Canada) has hit a HUGE heat wave! When I say huge I mean HUGE! 99 degrees...and it isn't even JULY people! Yesterday temperatures raised to a hundred degrees but.... felt more like 106-110 because of the horrible humidity!!! Dumb D.C. area! I love you but why must you be so stinkin' humid! [Thank goodness I am traveling to Maine again this summer for a little relief!]
This weather makes me long for the beach. Dropping my toes in the water and soaking up some much needed sun to give my wintery skin a nice healthy glow (yes, I am aware there is some slight controversy over the sun but I am responsible and only spend time in the sun outside of the danger hours; 10-2). I just love removing the sand fromevery crevice my tote bag and cooler! So annoying!
I have, however, a confession to admit: (*Singing Usher's Confession song as I type...Old Skool BABY!*)
Although I love the beach, I rarely EVER get to go. And I am never quite comfortable in a bathing suit since, well ever! It's gotten worse since I had a baby! Bikini's are a definite "NO GO!" I haven't worn one since my belly started to show with my daughter over seven years ago. Mostly, I usually wear Tankini's but they really feel weird lately and I am tired of feeling weird! So I have been searching for a bathing suit that will be my "go to" suit for the summer and to my surprise I am falling in love with one piece suits. This is very strange for me since I kind of always had some sort of bathing suit complex since my mom made me do the swim team as a kid. [DISCLAIMER: There is nothing wrong with "swim team;" it was just wrong that I was "made" to do it and I hated everything about it including the swimwear!] I digress...
I am loving that one piece suits are making a fierce comeback. And they are actually cute, not like those ugly Speedo's! *SHOCKER* For Fashion Friday I put together another Polyvore creation of what is not only an adorable suit by Kenneth Cole [***ALERT: ON SALE FOR $50 at MACY'S!!!***] but a typical outfit I would show up to the beach with. P.S. I LOVE Pink & GREEN!
Are you wearing a one piece this season? I would love to read about your beach confessions!
