There are two summer items I never thought I would wear as I’ve gotten older: a high waisted bikini or a one piece swimsuit. I grew up at the pool: swimming on swim team in the summers, always wearing a cap and goggles and some one piece swimsuit that felt SO tight and uncomfortable. “But remember, they always stretch.” Lies. So I pretty much swore off being cold and wet and ever working my way back into an uncomfortable, ugly one piece swimsuit.
But times have changed and the one piece has made it’s comeback. Everywhere you look there are amazing one piece swimsuits that cover while still showing off a bit of skin! No more wearing “mom jeans” in the form of a swimsuit. Or feel like you are being suffocated in your way too tight suit! This 2016 is all about covering up while still feeling amazing.
And as you may have seen before in my previous post about ModCloth, they are showing any shape, size and style can feel amazing when it comes to swimwear. ModCloth has one pieces, bikinis, high waisted bikinis, and extended sizes. So no matter what you’re looking for or whether you’re looking for a simple black suit to an ultra colorful one, you’ll always be able to find a suit that works for you!
This one piece (which I’m so sad to say is already out of stock- insert cry face emoji x 10 here) is ALL about covering up while still showing off a little bit of skin! When I first saw it on their site, I knew I had to have it! The low front plunge shows off a little cleavage whether you have a lot going on up there or just a little. Either way, you’ll be turning heads at pool and have people asking you all day where you got your suit!
And like I said before…I don’t like being cold and wet. I did that for 9 years of my life all while coaching swim lessons as well…I’m done with that. But I do love myself a giant floatie. Especially when it’s in the form of a pineapple.
If you’re looking for a one piece swimsuit, a float to keep you completely dry this summer or some fun pool accessories like beach bags or cocktail floats, I have you covered!

Now let’s talk about a swimsuit I DEFINITELY never thought I would like: the high waisted bikini. When this style came back in, I was super hesitant about even trying on the style. BUT once I saw a couple of my favorite fashion bloggers in that style, rocking them like nobody’s business, I gave it a go! And turns out, I love it! And what’s so cool is I think this style looks good on many body shapes. So whether you’re down for showing skin like me or if you’re looking to cover up more while still rocking a bikini, this suit style is definitely something you should try!
I love that this suit has an underwire in the top to help everything stay pushed up and in place whether you’re tanning on the side of the pool, taking a dip in the water, or riding a giant pink flamingo in the bright blue water.
So get out there and make a statement this summer! Whether that’s by wearing a bright bikini or bringing a giant float to the pool or having mini floats to carry your drink while you float away the day! Enjoy the sunshine, enjoy your friends, and enjoy showin’ off what yo mama gave ya!!

Absolutely adore how authentic and candid you are! You totally rock these swim suits. Actually… I’m convinced there isn’t much that you *can’t* rock… 😉
awwww thanks so much Lindsey!! xoxoxo
Just say no to the high waist bikini! You look good in it, but when you have a body like yours, that you work hard for, why not show it off? Just my opinion…
because other people may like a swimsuit like this! it’s just like showing different outfits. i love crop tops but i understand that not all people are going to wear crop tops so i show people other options!
