My Swim Picks

April 19, 2020 · In: Fashion, Spring & Summer

If you’re like me, this quarantine has you thinking of brighter days. I could really go for an ice cold drink pool side right now… Anyone else? I’ve been taking some of this time in quarantine to prep my summer wardrobe, including new swimwear! Because who doesn’t need a new swimmie to lounge in their yard during quarantine? 😉

Today I wanted to share some of my favorite swim pieces & collections I’ve come across over the past few weeks. Many come in both a one piece AND two piece varieties – so be sure to read below the images!

Draper James x Lands End

If you haven’t done so already, do yourself a favor and go check out this collaboration! I NEED to snag myself one of these swimsuits ASAP. Not only do they feature some great Draper James patterns (hello magnolias & gingham!) but Lands End has great quality swimwear. And did I mention these are size inclusive? (They carry up to size 26W) There are SO MANY styles to choose from – including swim dresses, tankinis, one pieces, and even swim shorts. There truly is something for everyone! Lands End is currently running 40% off as well – so they’re really affordable!

J.Crew Factory

I recently ordered a swimsuit from J.Crew Factory and it is SO CUTE! I snagged this one pictured above, but they have so many great options. This one is available in a few different colors as well as in a one piece. I got a M in the top and bottom, and they fit me perfectly! (I am normally size 4 & a 34C for reference) The one downfall to these is that they do not have padding, but the ruffle covers that region perfectly and it doesn’t bother me at all. J.Crew Factory is also currently running a sale and all swim is under $40!

Lilly Pulitzer

I really have a love-hate relationship with Lilly swim. They are so pretty and the materials are great quality! However, the sizing is WAY OFF (like most swimwear is) & the colors do fade quickly in chlorine. That being said, I still love my Lilly swimsuits and this style is my favorite – it even has adjustable straps. Even in a more revealing piece like this (that isn’t my style normally) I feel completely secure and sucked in. Their prints this season are gorgeous and would look so great on the beach & by the pool this summer. They’re also having a gift with purchase right now!

I hope y’all enjoyed this little post! I am so ready to enjoy some summer weather once it arrives, Orlando has been SUPER rainy the past few days. I always love sharing my finds with y’all, and I hope you do too!

Cheers!

xoxo
Jayme

Summer is calling my name this week🐚☀️ But Summer is calling my name this week🐚☀️

But with overcast skies, weather in the 60’s, and no vacations planned until the end of August - it’s hard to pick up the call😅

Let me know what your summer plans are👙

While we didn’t have the best beach weather last While we didn’t have the best beach weather last weekend, we still managed to soak up some sun☀️🌊

The best part of any beach trip is showering after a long day in the water and throwing on your favorite sun dress with your fresh tan🤍 I am obsessed with this new one I snagged for only $35 - plus the perfect purse to match🐚

Genuinely if I have $1 for every time I’ve been told I “don’t belong in Western PA” - I’d have enough money to move to the southern city of my choosing😂 But seriously - I’ve gotten these comments since I was in middle school! 

I’ve heard it said PA is 10 years behind on fashion👀 I can confirm people don’t understand me or my Lorna Murray hat I bought back in 2022👒

Getting vulnerable for a second: I love creating content and blogging but photographing myself lately, especially on this trip, has been rough for my self-esteem. While curating this post I was second guessing even posting these pictures because I didn’t like the way my body looked. Over the past month I’ve been on a regimen of medications that have thrown my body through a loop have had me not feeling myself. Even a “healthy” diet and daily exercise can’t reverse the side effects I’m experiencing and it’s been hard for me to reconcile that. In this process I’ve been reminding myself I don’t look at others around me or people I follow online and analyze their bodies or looks. 

So this is your reminder that we’re overthinking ourselves more than others are thinking about us. And it’s easier said than done, but give yourself grace through all seasons of life🤍
