High waisted bikini

 

Y'all, it's almost that time...dun dun dun....swimsuit season!  Yikes!  I was never a big fan of wearing a swimsuit to be honest, well that was until the high waisted bikini came around.  It's been holding its own and staying strong for about 4 years now, and I for one am thrilled!  Over the past few summers I've picked up 3 tops and 2 bottoms so that I can mix and match between them.  My go to would generally be Nordstrom, but swimsuits are downright expensive, (and for such little fabric!) so I've turned to more affordable options.  The patterned suit is from Urban Outfitters, and the all black I found at American Eagle!  I don't normally shop at either of these stores, but for swimwear, they're great!  Urban Outfitters has awesome choices and lots of high waisted options.  I don't usually like patterns or mixing them, but for swimsuits I feel like it's fun, and since there isn't a lot of material, it's not an eyesore, so it's okay.  I love wearing a fun unexpected pattern, but also love sticking with all black sometimes.  I adore this fringe strapless top I picked up in Hawaii a few years back.  It's great because it doesn't give you awful tan lines on your shoulders!  

High waisted are my favorite for both denim and swimwear.  It just looks flattering on everyone and I'm so glad the trend is holding strong! Another great idea is to just go out and buy a high waisted bikini bottom or 2, and wear them with the bikini tops you already have!  Here are some great options that are available this summer...

I LOVE these lavender bottoms!

These striped high waisted bottoms are adorable
