Backwards N High Heels

Balancing work and play while wearing many hats (I mean heels).

Swimsuit Fashion Picks

April 30, 2016

Hello, Friends and Happy Saturday. It is a cold, miserable, rainy weekend here in our neck of the woods. Nathan spent the majority of the day working his family’s Garden Center which officially opened for the season, and Lo and I managed to work around the house cleaning up from the week, catching up on laundry and dishes, throwing sweatshirts over our PJ’s and heading to the local post office before it closed, and delivering lunch to Daddy and the family working. Don’t worry, we managed to change out of our PJ’s before lunch delivery.

My dear younger cousin gets married in a few short weeks and my pale pink bridesmaid gown is begging for me to use some self tanner if this sunshine won’t return. So, when I think of sunshine and tan and the June nuptials, my mind turns to summer and sand and you know, a drink in my hand.

Post baby swimsuit shopping = torture. Actually, pre baby, swimsuit shopping equaled torture. I would love to know if any female in their right mind enjoys? I suspect the only that do, are 16 and 17 year olds and then a huge gap to the Victoria Swimsuit model category. And, that is because they are being paid for it. Oh, and have great abs, ya know!

It is a necessary evil really. One must trade in the painful fluorescent fitting room lights in exchange for suitable attire for Mother Nature’s warm, natural sunlight glow.

H&M – 34.99  |  Forever 21 – 14.90 + 12.90  |  ModCloth – 49.99  |  Banana Republic – 98.00  |  Nordstrom – 129.00

 

So, these are five unique swimsuits I am eyeing up for this summer season. I tried to share different styles and price points. I suggest buying early. You can order in, try on from the comfort of your own home and exchange for a better size or style, all before Summer days return.

Happy Shopping!

The Great Swimsuit Search

May 13, 2015

Lord help me. It is swimsuit season.

We got hit with a warm spell the last week or so and while I was happy to break out my favorite flip flops and tanks… it hit me. This chick HAS to buy a new swimsuit.

I HATE swimsuit shopping. I LOVE shopping. I HATE swimsuit shopping.

For men to relate I share this… It is like saying you can drive a car really fast, but you have to use your current vehicle no matter the make, model or year and you have to pull it out on a Nascar Track with all the Nascar drivers and their cars whizzing by. Some men would get super excited, some would look forward to it but most would still be super apprehensive. That is me with swimsuit shopping. I am over here like, “Hey, I will sit this one out.” I will be the gas can guy (you may only get that if you have watched a pit stop on Nascar).

Okay, seriously though, who goes from swimsuits, to Nascar, back to swimsuits. This girl.

This season I decided to toy with the idea of a one piece, so Baby Lo and I can have matching swimwear in the sand. Just kidding. I have always been super jealous and in awe of the women who can rock a cute one piece. There are some very cute and stylish one pieces out there.

Little did I know in my search that a common trend this summer season is strings galore. And, these in my opinion, do not relate to my statement above about ‘stylish one pieces out there.’ I seriously can’t stop laughing at these options. Not the models. Honey, you look fab. Sorta. I mean…

1) Holy tan lines! Seriously? People make fun of the “farmers tan,” could you imagine?
2) New term for string bikini.
3) Could you imagine washing this thing? It would take me HOURS to untangle. I would feel like someone cursed me with one of those crazy brain teaser puzzles as I tried to untangle a fabric ball.
4) I keep envisioning me as a package of cinnamon rolls. You know that moment when you undo the wrapper and push in on the package line to pop the seal then POOF! The rolls explode out. Yeah.

So, after my good laugh with these, I focused my attention on what I could handle. These options are winners in mind!

Swimsuit-Trends_backwardsnhighheels1. ASOS – 96.00  |  2. Victoria Secret – 48.50  |  3. Forever21 – 24.90  |  4. Nordstrom – 68.00  |  5. J.Crew – 118.00

Are you rocking a one piece this season? Do you think they are in style? If you found a great style, please feel free to share below.
