Swim Suits:
Vintage Looking One Pieces-I have found that Victoria's Secret has a cute one piece (see red swim suit) that I love. The other two (Navy and Cream) are Juicy Couture, you can find them new on EBay ranging in price from $75.00 to $120.00 depending on what time of year you are looking for them. Note: Ebay is great but sometimes the people selling the suits can mislead you... this Navy Swim Suit was pictured and posted as a black swim suit.
Around my nieces and nephews I like to wear modest swim wear.
1 My sisters will not let their girls wear bikini's, they want them to focus on being kids and not have them try to be sexy when they are little.
2. I think it is important for girls to realize that they can be beautiful with out showing tons of skin.
I am an example to these kids and think that it is good for them to realize that a pretty girl can wear a one piece or tankini and look just as beautiful, if not more beautiful than a girl in a bikini.
Im not sure if I will follow the same swim suit rule. I respect and understand the spirit of what they are doing.
For me the big thing I want to stress with my children is that they feel comfortable in their own skin... I remember as a child wearing a teeshirt over my swim suit. Which is odd (because after age three), I was a super skinney child. All of my friends, at a young age were focusing on their bodies... I remember in the kindergarden sticking in my tummy till I could see my ribs. I don't want my children to have that same problem.
Tankini's- According to most of my friends Tankinis just don't look good on their body's... that is sad for them, because tankini's look great on my body. I actually feel super cute in them and don't have to worry about losing my top when I'm doing something sporty... One of my best friends was surfing with me and she had the hardest time keeping her bikini top on... (she didn't think the situation was as funny as I did).
Trendy Bikini's- (Sorry no pictures, I want to keep my job)
I really love Victoria's Secret Bikinis.
Clothing:
I love classic pieces and am not the one to jump into current trends.
Here are a few things I love:Cardigans- This is something I wear almost everyday. They are my comfort clothes.
Pencil Skirts- I love pencil skirts they are attractive and super femine.
Dresses- I am a total girly girl, if I could I would wear a dress almost every day... lol okay with my current job I do wear them almost everyday.
Basic Skinny's- I looked everywhere for the perfect dark skinny jeans and the ones that looked the best on me I found at Bohme for $50.00.
Paige Jeans- Paige is by far my favorite designer jean, they are cut well and flattering to the female body and are not too blingy or in your face. Price ranges from $90.00 - 160.00 and they are worth every cent.
Shoe's:
Everyone has an item which they go a little overboard on.... Shoes are the thing for me:Heels- I wear heels everyday! I love them, how I feel in them, how they extend the leg/show off my calves... what's not to love about that right. I just bought a pair of Nine West Nude/Patent Leather 3&1/2 inch heels and I am really enjoying them. In general I like my heels to be basic colors (Brown, Nude, Black and Cognac) but everyonce and a while buy a fun pair of red, yellow or green shoes.
Ballet Flats- Right now I am obsessed with JCrew Jelly's, they remind me of my childhood and I want to wear them everywhere (to the beach, around the house, to run errands...).
Just bought these they were on sale from $54.00 to $36.00 (I think it was a sign and I was meant to buy them), oh how I love them.
Running Shoes- I am a runner, so the shoe I wear is super important. My fav's are Nike Free's, I bought a pair this summer for a race, they are super light weight and have great support. My first pair lasted just over 6 months and I just bought a pair in a different color and love them.
