Bathing suit? c/o Albion Fit (here, use the code myedit20 to get $20 off any order over $50!) 
Hat? Joe Fresh Pictures? Julie Bear

I didn't think I was a ruffles and ruching kind of girl. And then this bathing suit happened and it turns out I might be into ruffles and ruching after all. I changed my mind.
It happens, changing your mind... It's really just part of life. I used to hate hot sauce and now I like drowning my dinner in copious amounts of Frank's. I'm even getting into horseradish... My friends used to all hate minivans and now they sheepishly show up to the party in their Grand Caravan with dual automatic doors. Actually, maybe the first time was sheepish, after that they owned their choice. Apparently mini vans are just so handy...;)

When Albion Fit offered to send me something from their site which carries women's fitness and swimwear, I checked out the workout clothing but pretty quickly got stuck in their bathing suit section. I thought about this striped one piece with a sash and loved this yellow retro style bikini but ultimately chose the Midnight Dip bathing suit above. I took a chance on those ruffles and that ruching and I love it. It's great quality, really flattering and kinda feels fancy for a day at the beach. 
And we all know that I will take every opportunity to get fancy...

  47. I've been looking for a new swimsuit, preferably a one-piece as I am finally coming to terms with the fact that I will NEVER be comfortable in a two-piece so I should probably just give up the dream. But the High Tides suit w/ its turquoise chevrons would make me feel way less lame because it is adorable!

  143. Throughout this awesome pattern of things you get an A+ with regard to effort and hard work. Exactly where you actually misplaced us was first on your particulars. You know, as the maxim goes, the devil is in the details... And it could not be more true in this article. Having said that, allow me tell you exactly what did deliver the results. Your writing is definitely incredibly engaging and that is possibly the reason why I am taking an effort in order to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, despite the fact that I can certainly see a leaps in reasoning you make, I am not confident of just how you appear to unite the points which in turn make the actual final result. For the moment I will, no doubt yield to your point but trust in the foreseeable future you actually link your dots much better.printed bikini swimwear uk
