5/9/14 - UPDATED Post : Sexy Yet Totally Wearable Swim Suits for the Curvy Girl
I announced on Twitter the other day that I am in the market for a new swim suit. One that actually fits , hides and flaunts what need/should be while also not looking super oldish or like a 12 yr old. It is no secret that I am NOT a size 0 but actually more a pant size 14, ek I know! It came as a bit of a shock to me too - when I had a bit of a mental break down and cried in the middle of the Kohl's woman's department a couple weeks ago. Mike was trying to help me feel better about my outer self by helping to pick some new pieces out that would fit my new body more appropriately. But you know what ? This is the size I am right now and maybe one day I will be sparked with true motivation to drastically do something about it but for right now I need to accept this form and work with it - Just a side note some if not most of my most recent weight gain is uncontrollable on my part other than making sure I am taking the proper doses of my medicines.

So lets get shopping !
I found this awesome site called Swimsuits For All . This site carries swim wear and cover ups for only sizes 8 and + . I am loving their newly released Retro Swimwear - they even have a section of Marilyn Monroe inspired suits !!
The suit on the left here I think I like the most Swim Sexy Pink Hibiscus Plus Size Twist Front Slit Skirtini
But is it too mommy-ish ??and then there is this Swim Sexy Black Cut Out Maillot
suit ! Unfortunately I have a nice set of love handles so this one wouldn't work for me :(
I love pink and watercolors, so the Sexy Pink Waterfall Stripe Twist Front Swimdress is my pick. I really like the skirts--so cute and covers great. The pink and yellow look so good in this suit. Good luck picking!
ReplyDeleteI really like the Swim Sexy Teal Animal Chic Plus, because the color is nice (makes me think of the ocean), and it really flatters the figure.
