Flauntly Yours

Swim wear shopping! If you are like me, this is not one of your favorite shopping experience. This post will help give some tips on what to look for.

Get you some friends that build you up! Get you some friends that promote you loving your body! Get you some friends that love you and the way you look in a swim suit on a girls trip, chill day at the pool, or a fun day at a water park.

We have all done it. We put on a swim suit and pick our entire body apart. Every lump, bump, bulge, unshaved hair, wrinkle, and cellulite spot. STOP IT!

You are letting precious time get away from you. Time that you could be making memories, having fun, relaxing, or just hanging out.

There are so many swimwear options, get one you are comfortable in. Bikini, tankini, one piece, cut out, french cut, whatever you are comfortable in. If you are comfortable in it you will enjoy your time in it more.

Picking out a swim suit is one of the hardest things we shop for. You can hide a lot of things you do not like about your body in an outfit for just about any other occasion, not so much with a swim wear.

I am like you, I see it everywhere, the bikini model that has no imperfections. She is the perfect size, has clear skin, no tan lines, no cellulite. You envy her, you want to me just like her. Spoiler Alert, she doesn’t exist in the real world.

If we all had a glam squad to do our hair and make up everyday, a lighting crew, and professional photographer to pose us perfectly for all of our pictures, we could look like her too. I highly doubt that bikini model looks like that picture on day at the pool with friends. I am not saying it is not possible, just saying it is not practical.

If you are lucky enough in life, you will find you some friends that embrace your imperfections. Lets all be honest, our imperfections make us unique and who we are.

If you are super conscientious about you stomach pooch, get a tummy control swim suit.

If you do not like your butt, get a full bottom coverage swim suit.

If you do not like the way your legs look, get a spray tan ahead of time.

if you do not like the way your boobs look get a push up top swim suit.

If you do not like the way your arms jiggle get a top with ruffle sleeves.

If you want to be covered up unless you are in the water, there are many varieties of wraps, sarongs, and cover ups. You can match them to the bathing suit or have a completely different look with and without the cover up.

If you are worried about pictures, there are many ways to pose that will hide what you do not like

When all the pictures in the post were taken, I completely saw all the imperfections in myself.

Now looking back at these memories, I am so thankful I took the pictures, I am blessed with wonderful friends. I do not regret getting in the swim suit and making the most of the time spent, even though I did not look like the model for the swim wear I was wearing.

In the picture below I had not properly tied my top. It came undone on the beach. super embarrassing. These girls kept me completely covered and fixed my top to perfection! Do not put others down, help them be their best selves.

Fashion is amazing. I have always loved fashion because it lets all of us express who we are everyday.

Be yourself and everyone will notice your confidence. Slay it! Imperfections are true beauty.

Get you some friends that embrace your imperfections!
