Swimsuit Styles for Every Body Type

Posted by Alexandra C. | Tuesday July 3, 201224 comments


Oh, bathing suit season. Ugh. Swimsuit shopping is pretty much the most cringe worthy thing in the world, am I right? Seeing my pale body for the first time in months in the store's fluorescent lighting and having to constantly take off and put on my clothes seriously puts me in a cranky mood. Are you with me chicks?

I'd really love to see more plus size options. Not many plus sized ladies feel comfortable in a bikini shown in #10
