Happy Hump Day, everybody! I hope your day is off to a wonderful start! Our Colorado day is starting off with gloom and rain, but I’m still kind of loving it! I feel way more motivated to bundle up and work on emails when it’s raining out. And we definitely don’t get much rain here…meaning I barely get any emails done.
I’ve been wanting to share a quick summary of all my recent outfits in Costa Rica, but I was waiting for some of those items to come online. Luckily, they are all available now! So hopefully this post helps you find your perfect dress, sandals or swimsuit for your summer vacations and staycations! I’ve tried to find all sorts of different pieces in different price ranges because I mean, who wants to spend a sh*t ton on a tiny piece of fabric?! I get it!
In case you missed it, I did a recap of my trip here and talked about it in even more detail on the podcast here!
So let’s do this! My first outfit got me through many non-stop walking trips through Manuel Antonio. We would think that the beach was just around the corner and it would be 30 minutes away. We’re dumb. Luckily this dress is extremely comfortable and the sandals kept my feet from feeling too hot and constricted in the hot Costa Rican heat. I bought this dress in a small!

My second look was made for a tropical vacation! Loving this floral pattern! I wore this jumpsuit to dinner one night and was comfortable the entire time! I bought this jumpsuit in a small!

I ADORE this dress. Seriously adore it. I can’t wait to wear it again! It was definitely a tad too warm for the 90 degree + humidity day I wore it on, but it’s perfect for 70 degree days where you want to wear a dress but don’t feel like wearing a jacket on top! And it’s double lined so it’s not see through! I bought this dress in a extra small!

This last outfit is said to be a dress, but I definitely consider it more of a cover-up because it’s see through, especially once it gets the slightest bit wet. I loved wearing this on top of my swimsuit when we were wandering around town and checking out some bars and restaurants in between our beach time! I bought this dress in a small!

This bikini set is seriously probably my favorite bikini of the entire trip. And it’s under $50 for the two pieces together!! So awesome! The bottoms are slightly cinched so it cups your bum just right and doesn’t give you saggy butt when you’re swimming all day! And the top definitely pushes up the goodies! I bought the bottoms in a small!

I bought this bikini last year and I’km still completely obsessed with it! It is really worth every penny. It doesn’t squeeze it weird places and it comes in all kinds of different colors and styles. I even linked a high waisted bottom in case you love that style! I bought the top in a medium and bottoms small!

When I first put this bikini on, I was VERY nervous. The bottoms are very much a “cheeky” style which I’m not usually a fan of. BUT, being in Costa Rica with just my husband for our one year anniversary…I stopped caring. Just know that your bum shows a tad more in this suit than any of the other ones I’m linking! It’s still so comfortable and flattering! I bought a small in both the top and bottom!

I don’t wear too many one piece swimsuits, but so many companies are now coming out with incredibly flattering one piece swimsuits and I’m loving them more and more. Especially this one below! And guess what? It’s only $35!!!! How amazing is that?! It seriously fits so incredibly well and it so so flattering! I love it so much! Just make sure you’re not planning on tanning that day! This is definitely an under-the-umbrella type of swimsuit!

Last but not least, this fun mesh lined bikini! The top is so comfortable and almost like a push-up! And the top and bottom together are only $33!! So awesome! This suit stayed in place the entire day while I boogie boarded and soaked up every crashing wave!

I’m so confused on how anyone had anything mean to say about your legs. You have an amazing body that you have obviously work hard for (both in the gym and the kitchen). You’re confident and self- secure —- don’t let nasty people discourage you. There are SO many people who would kill to look like you (not that it helps) — You have nice slender legs — there’s nothing “gross” about you…
Girl, your body is BANGIN. Paleo does a body good! Keep on kicking ass at life.
People that say your legs are gross must be brain damaged….
Juli,
Gotta throw you out some love…I’ve been binge-listening to your podcasts, and they seriously crack me up yet still manage to give me information on whatever wonderful topic you’re tackling on said day. Thank you so much for what you do and always still managing to be REAL…
Lovely pics and outfits…By the way, totally recommend Hawaii for your next anniversary. HIGHLY recommend!
thank you so much for the kind words, amy!!
I bought the black mesh swim suit ASAP from Target when I saw this on the Liketoknowit app. Thanks for keeping it real and shopping from a variety of stores from Nordstroms to Target. you rock, dont ever change!
thanks for love, mags! hope you love the bikini!
Beautiful pictures! And such a fun trip. Your posts, on the trip, were a blast to read. Ignore anyone who says your legs are gross. Life is full of people who do not know what they are talking about. Just keep enjoying the sun and the fun.
The short sleeve white cover up with the lacey detail- I am OBSESSED. I ordered it literally 3 weeks ago still haven’t heard anything back from the company. Obviously, you don’t work for the company and that’s totally not your fault, just wondering if you have had any issues with ordering things from Shein in the past, or if my experience is just a crappy one time deal? Thank you!!
i’ve definitely had some items that took quite a while to get, but i always got the items!
I love all of your outfits and bathing sits, so cute!! I’m going to order the black mesh one and was wondering what size you had gotten for that one? Thank you!!
