Summer is finally here, and I love it! Wearing less clothes, walking barefoot in the grass, celebrating my birthday, and having lots of fun in the sun with family and friends are just a few of the things I look forward to! And if you're like me, a lot of that fun in the sun includes spending time in the pool and at the beach which can be a little stressful for us "not so skinny" girls! Finding that swimsuit that covers up what we need it to and be dope at the same time can be a real trip and sometimes even a journey! Well, stress no more! That figure-flattering, trendy swimsuit we've been looking for is finally here! Check these out! You can find these suits and more on sites like *Always for Me, Bare Necessities, Spanx, Swimsuits For All, and Lane Bryant! Happy Summer!
