Vacation - Beach and Poolside Looks

 

Now for the pièce de résistance: the swimwear edition! No vacation would be complete without the addition of fun and colourful swim attire! I have to admit I have a decent collection of swimsuits, classified in two categories: resort swimsuits and camping/boating swimsuits. I keep the fancy, unpractical ones for strutting my stuff on the pool deck or along the seashore. The other pile is more run-of-the-mill styles that do the trick when camping or going to waterparks. I always look forward to wearing the fancy ones, as they are true works of art! I also have a soft spot for cover-ups, who doesn't? Since I have a fair amount of swimsuits, I need a good variety of cover-ups to make sure I have the right match for each suit, although many are interchangeable. My complete swimwear looks varied from boho-chic, to sporty, to sixties siren to fiercely feminine. When it came to styling my beach looks, I had a tidal wave of inspiration!
