Summer Favorites | Swimsuits, Sarongs, Skirts, and Cover Ups

Happy Monday, Friends! I feel like this has been one of my most requested posts lately from my Instagram followers!  I get a lot of requests about where I find swimsuits, cover ups, and most recently asking all about sarongs and skirts to wear over my swimsuit.  So I am here to give you a round up of all my current favorites from each department and I am hoping you find this helpful.

Some of these coverups are ones I own and some are just on my wish list. Since I live in Florida, I would say I own a lot of coverups and pretty much wear them non-stop in Summertime. I love finding ones that I feel great in and ones that can take me from the beach to a restaurant if need be.  Here are a few of my current favorites!

Swimsuits is something that can definitely be stressful and exhausting to shop for.  Here is what I have learned….Stick to the brands that you know you LOVE!!!! I went through old photos for yall to share some photos of me in swimsuits through the years.  Guess what I saw??  That I pretty much stick to about 3 different brands of swim suits that are always good to me 🙂  Here are the brands I love for swim: Lilly Pulitzer, J. Crew, Marysia, and Minnow SwimThe Hermoza and Summersalt are two other brands I love too for a good conservative, one-piece.  Another thing, if you find a style you love, don’t be afraid to have it in more than one color!! I am often an offender of buying the same suit in different colors or patterns if it is one that I love!! No reason to be scared of that!

I actually own all of these suits that you see below.  I either wear are L/XL or 12/14 for sizing.  I will sometimes buy the long torso option if it is available and I will say that the cute blue and white mosiac one piece that you see below is one that I did have to return because it just came down too low on me, meaning it was too short waisted. So if you have a long torso, that style is probably not for you!  The J. Crew options I shared are all super flattering with great coverage on your bum!  Actually, all of these have good bum coverage.  The hot pink suit shown in the bottom corner were a mix and match option that I ended up falling in love with! I wore it this weekend and sad I did not get a photo of the two pieces together. I will try to share soon. Those bottoms are currently on major sale right now too! It makes the whole set a little more affordable.

These suits are all from my favorite brand Marysia.  I have been collecting these for years now. So yes, they are definitely investment pieces, but they have lasted me a long time and worth it in my book!!

 

Okay, now onto one of the most common questions lately!! Sarongs and swim skirts!! So this is something that I have worn for a long time because anything to cover up my booty makes me happy 🙂  I started off by buying a couple of very inexpensive skirts from Amazon and these are the ones you guys have asked about for years.  Sadly, I have never been able to find the exact link.  Mainly because the one I found has built in bottoms to it which we don’t want! I can not find my exact skirts anywhere!! My best suggestion is to buy this one (comes in lots of colors) and just cut out the built in bottoms!

The next thing I do is use Pareos.  You can find some of my very favorite ones here.  They have lots of cute styles and colors to chose from and they can double as blankets, table clothes and skirts if you want them to!
