Floral Week - Swimwear

DSC08211-collage

I know what you’re all thinking, “florals, for spring?  Groundbreaking...”  We all know that quote, but the truth is, florals are everywhere for spring!  They’ve been popping up in shops since mid February, but sadly there was nothing spring like about the weather until just last week.  Now that the beautiful weather seems like it’s here to stay and not just being a fashion-tease, I wanted to celebrate with a fresh burst of colour!  Every day this week I will be posting a new look focused around a fun floral piece. 

To start off the week let’s just bare it all!  I have been shopping online for a hot weather vacation destination.  Obviously along with that, has come some swimwear shopping as well.  Since my vacation isn’t happening for months, I couldn’t resist getting into the spirit early with a little photo shoot.

Like so many, when

GabiFresh

launched her latest collection of swimwear for

swimsuitsforall

, I had to have it!  I fell in love with this beautiful, retro-looking, palm leaf print one piece.  The band at the waist, the cup detailing and the convertible straps!  Yas queen!  I feel like a bombshell in this.

Admittedly I’ve never worn a bikini (or fatkini).  When I found this swim top online, I wasn’t sure now I was going to feel about it.  After putting it on, I was feeling myself!  It’s longline, which is why I think I feel so comfortable in it.  The colours are bright and fresh and just make me long for the beach.  And I wouldn’t be surprised if you see me rocking this as a top with a maxi skirt later this summer.

Keep an eye on the blog tomorrow for another floral look.
