Suit up and meet me at the beach!

I was so good last summer and I didn't buy any new bathing suits. This year was a different story, I think I'll be going to the beach quite a bit this year and I wanted something new and fun to wear. Both of these suits will be going with me to the beach this Memorial Day weekend. Both are from Victoria's Secret I love the style and colors. I actually bought the exact suit top and bottom in the colors pictured. The little ties on this suit are dark navy with white dots and is a great contrast with the gold metallic and white top. When I browsed the catalog this one really stood out to me.
I love this suit as a halter and as a bandeau. The color pictured looks like a dark pink but actually it's hot hot watermelon pink. Almost a florescent pink, it looks okay on my pale skin but will really pop with a tan. I wish I'd gotten it in blue because I'm so pale but I'm keeping it in Diva Pink so I don't have to go through the hassle of exchanging it.

Summer Swimwear

I purchased two new bathing suits this summer from the Victoria's Secret Beach Sexy line. I'm excited to log some hours at the pool this year wearing these suits. The suits from this line can be mixed and matched with colors, patterns, and cuts. I purchased the Push Up Halter top with hot pink stripes and the bikini bottoms in solid hot pink (because I didn't want to wear stripes around my rear). I purchased this suit top and bottom in the lilac dot print. It's a Sliding Halter top and a double string bikini bottom. Because I purchased my suits back in April I couldn't take advantage of the awesome swim suit sale going on now (but I might pick one up for late summer or next year). However I did get free shipping, 25% of one suit, and a free beach tote bag. The bag is so versatile, I actually have taken it to the shop to use for carrying groceries and I took it to the beach back in May. I have a huge double towel that fits perfectly on one side, and I can tie the string so it doesn't slide around and it can fit my sunscreen, sun glasses, water and other necessities on the other side. It's a little plain so I'm thinking I might take it to the embroidery shop to have my monogram sewn onto the front of the bag.
