So I know it's October and that my days no longer involve summer activities like swimming, nights on the patio and full time relaxation (not that I did much of any of these things this past summer, but this is what summer should be to me). Since I didn't have a real working camera for the summer, I never really got to share with you my favourite summer things. Also, I was inspired to bring back out my suit because Frances from over at Corpulent did a fantastic post in a two piece. This makes me want to yell mom-like things like "You go girl" and "rock it"... because it is great!
When I went to purchase a bathing suit, I knew I didn't want something generic and too speedo-ey if you know what I mean. Because let's face it, I love to swim but I'm not a pro swimmer. No suit is going to make this curvy frame more aerodynamic! (You would be surprised the things they advertise on swimsuit labels.) I wanted something cute, colourful and flattering... and I got exactly what I wanted. I can't tell you what a relief it was, because I usually dread shopping for things like this. So here you have it... Curvy Katie the bathing beauty: a pinup style suit from Pretty Things Boutique in Halifax, Canada (Check out their site - they ship internationaly). I am also wearing a little polka dotted head wrap from Dorothy Perkins.
I have had such a busy week and have so many things to blog about, so check back this weekend as I will be posting up a storm. I will be posting more pics on my facebook page - check it out and LIKE me! http://on.fb.me/cOykhs

ReplyDeleteLove the suit so much!! You look great! Is it Esther Williams? I was looking at similar suits on modcloth.com but I found a similar style in black at old navy! I might have to think about polka dots for next summer though.. :)
ReplyDeleteAww thanks!! Yes it is Esther Williams! I got mine at Pretty Things in Halifax but it's the same one on modcloth. Definitely worth the money :)
ReplyDeleteToo cute! You look gorgeous in this suit.
ReplyDeletePS. You can yell mum-like encouragement at me whenever you like.
Love this! You are gorgeous! I actually have this suit but in leopard print, it's hot! I just find the bust support a little lacking.
ReplyDeleteYou look great. Love that you posted this in october, who cares about the summer.
ReplyDeletelove the bathing suite you look like a starlet. You go girl. you better work.
ReplyDeleteoooh leopard print! amazing! I totally agree on the bust support thing. I think there is def. room to do an underwire thing and I still can't figure out why they didn't. Tis a mystery!
ReplyDeleteyes! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteHayhay!
