Every year about this time, my real life BFF & I start texting each other to see if either one of us have found the perfect swimsuit & coverup. We’ve been doing this for 20+ years with each other. We’ve been known to send pictures of swimsuits on racks, even while in the dressing room (she knows all my secrets) or even telling the other to completely avoid a certain store because they don’t allow for curves in any of their swimsuits.
You see, we can be brutally honest with each other.
We have definitely passed the “sugar coating stage” of our friendship since we’re 20+ years deep into this friendship.
For the record, I have lots of curves.
And rolls.
I get in the water a lot, but I also like my time under the umbrella with a drink in hand & a good mag or book.
But chasing after 3 kids on the beach while trying to look somewhat decent can be a challenge. (Remember, I have rolls.) For the past 3 years, I have had the slightly longer swim skirt cover up – that I POSITIVELY LOVED. Well, that skirt has gone M.I.A. so I had to order another one, the one pictured above. It’s a great wrap skirt made out of swimsuit material. It’s perfect to wear over a swimsuit while swimming or going for a walk on the beach. The other great cover up that I found was this tunic dress. I am loving it as well. It’s easy & modest while you’re walking back & forth to your hotel or pool, and of course carrying a load of inflatable floats, 55 towels, buckets & shovels. ~ I know you all know what I’m talking about. Because we have ALL been there!
Here’s the links to some of my favorite MUST HAVES for the beach or pool:
Tunic Swimsuit cover up $34.77 – available in many colors
Swim Skirt Wrap Cover Up $49.00 – but worth it in my opinion.
Cork-y Metallic Gold Flip Flops – $6.00
Classic Natural Fedora Hat $9.99 – different color bands available
Classic Brown Aviator Sunglasses $5.50
24 oz Cold Tumbler Glass with straw $7.99
We are in serious countdown mode to our Summer vacation & trying to get all the little details taken care of. Here’s hoping I’ll look somewhat graceful & modest while chasing after my 3 on the beach.
