How To Style Your Outfit Around Your Bathing Suit

Learning how to style your bathing suit into your daily look, is a fabulous way to enjoy the final stretch of the Summer season! 

Very similar to Superman and his super suit, bathing suit style will allow you to be ready for water, anytime, anywhere.

Whenever we think of swimwear with fashion, the furthest our mind may take us is a colorful sarong, a beach dress, or some sort of cover up. 

However, what about the idea of including a bathing suit as part of your fashion look?

Here are my top 4 tips on styling a look around your bathing suit:

Tip 1: Dress Light

Nothing is worse than wearing a bathing suit under another outfit on a hot day. When you style a look like this, pick the lightest fabrics, and let the suit peak through.

The more airflow around your body, the easier it will be to stay cool. 

Tip 2: Do not wear expensive or sentimental jewelry. 

Never forget the purpose of wearing a swimsuit, is to spontaneously swim or jump into a body of water. This bracelet by Betsey Johnson is one of my favorite pieces of costume jewelry and a nice compliment to the pink swimsuit. 

In general, keep jewelry as limited as possible.

Tip 3: Pick a Color Palette Around Your Bathing Suit:

Rather than covering your bathing suit, think about featuring it. 

My style inspiration for this look, was completely inspired by the vibrant orchid pink found in my suit. Because, the color is full of energy, I counter balanced the effect by pairing it with a neutral white lace dress, and white vintage bag. I tied a silk Pink Pucci scarf in reference to the color palette. 

Tip 4: Have fun and enjoy life!

What I Wore: Autumn Sunset

I often talk about my former days in Europe, and how I miss the beauty that Nature creates during the Autumn Season. However, I must admit, there is a different kind of beauty that exists living beachside. The beaches I live near, are as close to paradise as I can imagine, and the sunsets/sunrises are incredible. All of it takes my breath away, and it makes me whisper a sweet little, "thank you", for being a witness to such a miracle. 

As far as my "Beach" style. I must admit, this is not your conventional, lets hang out at the beach attire, but the weather is a bit cooler and my style is a mix of many factors and inspirations. 

My Sunset Style at the Beach....

                                 SHOES and HANDBAG

My Shoes are by ASH and my Handbag is PRADA. Both of them are my Autumn favorites, and both have been part of my collection for many years. The purse was the first brand name bag that I purchased myself, nearly 10 years ago in New York, and it is still my favorite.

                                            NECKLACE

The necklace was gifted to me from the brand CAPWELL +co. but I removed a blue/snake medallion and re- arranged the tassels. The various metal colors are all warm toned and perfect for Autumn. 

                                                OUTFIT 

My pants are deceptively jeggings, and  are quite comfortable. They are leather on the front and cotton stretch on the back. I bought them from Hollister in a very dark green color. The top is by DKNY and it is actually olive toned but appears brown because of the sunlight. The cardigan is by a private boutique Ruby, and is suede with golden embellishments. The cardigan is perfect for sunsets because the various reflections it creates, varies in the light.

                                              EARRINGS

The earrings I wore are designed and made by me. I made them for my Fall Collection. The butterfly represents life,where as the leaf that also resembles a feather represents death. The stones used are olive green.
