Sweet Summer. How I love you <3 Without even realizing it, summer always just appears and an adventure is upon you where all you really need is a great camera, a smoking hot bathing suit and a buddy. We all know when summer is going to come yet somehow I never feel ready and it’s hitting me even harder this year particularly feeling the heat with my bikini wardrobe. Everything in my “swim-ecessities” drawer just feels so bleh.
The summer bathing rule is and has always been approx 2 new suits each summer and the collection slowly but surely grows. Yet somehow, feels like I haven’t bought a suit in like… decades. How did this happen? So disappointed in myself. I have the baubles, the shoes, the cover ups, def the sunblock but somehow the swimsuit section is suffering. I can’t put my finger on it…unless my sisters took it out of my drawer which is all too much of a possibility. Regardless, here we are. Stuck without the summer staple. But not for long! Check out all these pretty bathing suits that I have an eye on with all the necessities for chic summer days by the pool, jamming to your favorite music

Get your swim suit on,
I definitely have those moments where I don’t have any swimsuit to wear! That’s why I start panic-buying online in the hopes of something fitting me. Haha.

I know what you mean about the swim suits! I don’t know why, but you can never have enough?

Love that you included some sunglasses with the bathing suits! I think I never buy and therefore never have enough of these either! My ever growing list is getting bigger each day.
