Happy Sunday beauties!
If you follow me on Instagram you know that I spent last week in a little rest and relaxation in Mexico. I had been looking forward to this trip for weeks and it felt so good exchanging the never-ending clouds and cold of Toronto for sun and sand. We had an amazing stay at the Barcelo Huatulco and while it was sad having to leave, the bright side is I now can sit down and go through all the photos I took on this trip.
One of my favourite parts of getting ready for the trip was picking out a new swimsuit!!!
OK. Finding swimsuits is not an easy task, as we established above. There are ways to make it easier however. Here we go.
Step 1: Establish your budget
This is important because obviously, you can find cute stuff no matter what if you have an unlimited budget. HOWEVER. Most often, we don’t have an unlimited budget, and that means we need to work smarter at finding the right deals. My favorite swimsuit brand is Captiva Swimwear, and if you are all about spending a little bit of cash up front to get a swimsuit that will last several years, I highly recommend them.
Step 2: Choose the most flattering style
Whatever your reason for ditching the bikinis, you deserve to look and feel fabulous in your one-piece swimsuit. I tend to go for the vintage-vibe swimsuits and love love love the way they look on my body type. Instead of focusing on what the world tells you you should be wearing, make sure you FEEL gorgeous when you put it on. If you feel sexy, you’ll look sexy. And how you feel is all that really matters.
Step 3: Online or in-person
This is something that you have to decide yourself. I feel perfectly comfortable ordering swimsuits on the internet. I have done it multiple times and have always had good results. I recommend getting out a soft tape measure and accurately measuring your entire body. I have my measurements saved on my computer and take new ones once a month because I tend to fluctuate. Usually, the comments will reveal whether or not something runs big or small.This is something that you have to decide yourself. I feel perfectly comfortable ordering swimsuits on the internet.
