Let’s Go Swimming!

Its summer!  I have a real weakness for swimwear.  I probably have 10 swimsuit sets stuffed in a drawer in my closet; I’m not looking to add more (sigh), but if I had the room and the cash, you betcha I’d be getting a few more.

I used to get the Victoria’s Secret catalog in the mail every once in a while, but the one I looked forward to most often was the swimwear issue!  And now that I’m planning on going to Fiji and Hawaii in the near future, looking at new swimwear is constantly on my mind… eep!  Well… it doesn’t hurt to look, right? ;D

It seems like frills and fringe are very apparent this season!  When I look for swimwear, I usually try to find something that’s lightly lined up top, or at least has something like ruffles for coverage.

My swimwear lust list:

1. River Island Poppy Bandeau Bikini // 2. ASOS Fringed Bandeau Bikini Top and Bottom  // 3. Topshop Coral Stripe Bandeau Bikini // 4. L*Space Audrey Triangle Bikini // 5. Nastygal Fringe Crochet Swimsuit // 6. River Island Broderie Bikini Top and Bottom // 7. ASOS Mix and Match Spot ’50s Halter Padded Bikini // 8. Lolli Cupcake Bikini

Yay! So fun and playful :}

PS:  For ASOS (see items 1, 2, 6, 7) check your email for a 20% off code for regularly priced merch.  Or check Retail Me Not here. Also, try converting to GBP to see if you can get your goodies even cheaper!

White shirtdress – $4  (Maternity size Large! Haha.  This is my favorite piece this month)

Alexander McQueen for Target Zipper Sweater top – $6 (bought today)

GAP Cream boyfriend blazer – $7.50 (bought today)

Topshop unstructured tee – $4

Channeling Kate Moss:  Loose, soft, & slouchy!

J Crew button down – $4

Sheer, soft and 100% cotton

Juicy Couture kimono top in cream – $4

H&M White Jacket – $7.50 (with original price tag!  $35)

Club Monaco Embellished 100% Silk Tank – $6

I fell in love with this top because of the jeweled neckline and grosgrain ribbons.  The ribbons make it look like the necklace is separate from the top.. So unique!  Since this was two sizes too large I altered this by sewing the sides farther in and thereby making it less boxy.  Now it fits perfectly!

I’m so glad that July is here!  Now my budget has been reset and I can start anew.

Time to get ready for work!
