This week's Fatshion Faceoff was chosen by me- swimwear! Now first things first, I need to admit a few things:
- I really didn't think this through, it's currently winter in Australia.
- I didn't go swimming in these today (refer to first point)
- Its night time, not even remotely a good time for swimwear (unless you're on holidays)
To be completely honest, I had intended to take these pictures while we were in Vegas, but somehow too many cocktails mixed with too many wines meant I never got them done. So I've cheated. I didn't actually wear these anywhere, just in my backyard to show you what I would wear if it was warm and sunny.
The shorts have a little sheen to them which didn't capture very well on camera- but does look really cute in real life. I swear by little cover-up dresses to throw over my togs. I love putting one on and strutting around the pool, they always give me an extra confidence boost! This gem I picked up at Torrid. I especially love it because it's low cut- I think we all need to show a little bit more boob ;)
Much the same for the swimmers actually. I liked them because the print was classic and the the cups are low cut with an underwire for a bit more support, while still looking cute and booby! Plus they have the extra little keyhole detail too!
I have quite a few pairs of pretty colourful swimmers too, but sometimes you just can't go past classic black and white! With a big floppy hat and my cover-up on, I always feel very 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' in this suit! Only the chubbier, less classy version ;)
Check out the other Fatshion Faceoff girls in their swimmers too- hopefully they get a bit of sun on theirs!!

Love love love! I have a black suit from Old Navy that is very boobie and black and white board shorts and I love the look too! You look super cute!
ReplyDeleteI hope you didn't catch a cold taking these photos, brrr, i'm cold just thinking about it! LOVE the swimmers, the pattern is great and I admit, I do like some good boobage in swimmers :P
ReplyDeleteThey look great. I can't even think about swimmers until spring!
ReplyDeleteI feel cold just thinking about swimwear - so you are brave for modelling yours for us! I love your cover up - its really pretty. My togs are actually a vintage swim dress from the 70's so the whole thing is like a beach cover up - but I do get weird looks from people at the beach....I think they are like "is that girl actually swimming in her DRESS!" its a swim dress people! :D
ReplyDeleteI like your togs too - rawr - black n' white & boobies - how can you go wrong?
You are lovely in this swimsuit, you look radiant!

I love that lace top, so cute.
ReplyDeleteYou look great - and you're very brave to wear that at night in the middle of winter - it's so COLD! Brr! You don't look cold at all though, you look fab as always :)
ReplyDeleteHey little ausi mermaid,
ReplyDeletei love the print of the swimsuit. Cute little short i hope to find one in California in a few months. I also took my pics in Tunisia cause even if its summer in Belgium it still can snow :-)
Very cute and classic swimming costume there missy :) I also really like your cover up. I have been looking for one now I have my eye on Torrid. LOL at too many cocktails and wine :) sounds like my kinda fun lol

ReplyDeleteyou are too funny! XOXO
ReplyDeleteThat swimsuit is gorgeous, and your boobs look great!!! Love it! xx
ReplyDeleteHey pretty lady! LOVE the swimsuit and the coverup is fantastic. I need to get one for myself, I usually toss on an old dress or something. Haha! :D And your boobage looks great, that's what the pool is for, right? Btw, is your hair naturally that amazing or do you have secret hair how-tos? If so, you must share. I'm jealous! ;)
