Jamaica Packing Challenge - Part Tres (that means 3 in espanol) - Swimsuits!

Goooooooddddd moooorrrnnniiinnnggg campers!!! It's time to open your eyes, wipe the pancake syrup off your face, and get mommy an orange juice (plenty of vodka, don't waste any space with that fruit stuff).

Today, we talk swimwear. I'm thankfully devoid of most body hang-ups when it comes to bathing suits, and attribute it to 5 years of competitive swimming in high school/college. Weird, because I'll spend 25 minutes asking the husband if a sweater makes me look fat - but I'll put a bikini on and skip across a stage in front of 300 people without a second thought. (Come to think of it, I probably should have laid off the chips & margs before doing that, but whatevs.)

Anyhoo - I have my weird body issues like the rest of us (except Marissa Miller and that Miranda Kerr - but they haven't ingested solid food for at least 2 years, so they don't count), but when it comes to swimwear, unless it has the word 'thong' in the description, I'm pretty much down. Needless to say, my favorite part of vacation is getting to run around in almost no clothes and drink things that have umbrellas in them. What's not to love?

Enough with the chat, on to the 'fits!


Swimwear Outfit #1 - The husband, who I pink puffy paint heart bought me this bathing suit last year. I love it, and am eternally grateful that I was able to get the salesgirl to hide anything else that was thong-like or see-through before he saw it.

Swimwear Outfit #2 - This hat will probably be worn almost every day - as I have an aversion to my skin looking like a leather chair (*cough* Kelli Bensimon *cough*).

Swimwear Outfit #3 - My favorite color is animal print. (see below, and #4)

Swimwear Outfit #4 - Obviously. (see above)

I may stick an extra suit or two in my bag, but always end up wearing the same 3 or 4 anyway...

Ok loves, it's been real, but my coffee needs more Bailey's, and it's not going to pour itself, now is it? :)

These are so cute! I love the 3rd one. I'm so jealous you're going to Jamaica--have a blast! I always throw in a bunch of suits at the last minute...I like to have some options. They're small to pack, anyway :)

Soooo, I do have major body hang ups but used to be all sorts of thin, so, it's more of a "back when" sadness thing (also, did not know you were a competitive swimmer). Anyways, love the 'suits--so YOU. I might have just purchased two for the non existent vacation I don't have planned. I mean, if we decided to go to Mexico, I'd need to be prepared, right? And the store stop stocking swimwear in March, so, I need to be prepared, yes?

Sidenote: I haven't dared go anywhere in a bathing suit in years. And yet my collection grows. WEIRD.

Love you sugar pants!
