Swimsuits….Either you love em or hate em. Am I really wrong in thinking there’s no in between? For as long as I can remember I’ve always been self-conscious in them. It wasn’t until recently that I began wondering if the self-consciousness was simply the result of the not wearing the right one. Maybe swimsuits are a little like men, you may never find Mr. Perfect but sometimes Mr. Right is okay. Sorry, I’ve been rewatching Sex and the City for the one millionth time….
I will say I’m definitely most comfortable in retro-inspired swimwear. I find swimsuits reminiscent of yesteryear tend to cover and accentuate all the right areas. High waists and swim skirts also tend to make the act of wearing a swimsuit a bit more bearable in my mind. The swimsuit featured in this post might actually be the best swimsuit I’ve ever worn in terms of fit, style and my overall comfort level while wearing it! Although this swimsuit was gifted to me by Chicwish, I’ll probably be buying one in another color because I love it that much. It also comes with a matching kimono to complete your poolside look!
