Good golly, how stunning is this Beach Riot Swimwear Cover! At first, I wasn’t sure how to feel about a long-sleeve. However, the material is so breathable, you can’t even tell you are wearing long sleeves. And you can’t convince me that a sheer long-sleeve coverup isn’t chic AF.
If you caught my last post, you know I’m having quite the love affair with resortwear again. I am wearing the same Amazon white one-piece suit here. The way the sheer fabric skims across the every-so-slightly cheeky bottoms…I’m obsessed. I think I wore it every other day, lol. This colorway is so beautiful that it even comes in biker shorts and the cutest high waisted bikini!
RE: Confidence
Showing skin isn’t something I grew up really understanding. I attended a Southern Baptism school my entire life until going to JMU. At summer camps and church events, you had to wear an oversized t shirt on top of a one-piece suit. You practically drown if you tried to swim in the deep end. All that shirt bunching…..it was ridiculous. Side note, but when I started cheering….my coach even suggested that I buy a “bust-minimizing bra”. Like, what is that?
So being raised around religious people who think all skin is bad…..of course I have struggled with body image issues. And I probably will have those thoughts my whole life as a recovered anorexic. The key for me is not fighting these negative feelings. I listen to them, acknowledge where they come from, and let them pass. And I put on my Hot Girl Summer playlist and moveeee on!
Outfit Details
The tie-front and slits on both sides make this such a flirty little vacation piece! MG even agreed to a family photo even though he was in a shmood all week! How perfectly do his Patagonia swim trunks correlate with this coverup?
We are staying in Miramar Beach, FL which is only 30 minutes to Scenic Highway 30-A, and 30 minutes from the heart of Destin. Most people bee-bopin around this condominium are residents. My aunt graciously invited us to stay, and she has a sweet spot right on a tennis court. It is humbling to watch 80-year old women (in better shape than you) play tennis every morning at 7AM. The condo is only a 3 minute walk to the community gym, has its own pool, and <10 minute walk to a private beach!
A big financial goal for us is to own a second home before we have a kid.
I know what you are thinking…..UMM you don’t even own one whole home yet. To that I say…touché. We are paying for a home to be built, and we probably won’t even be living there until mid-2022. Soooo, we wait for the home, a second vacation home, and then I guess it is time to pop out a kid.
Either way, I think it is important to have set goals. We inquired about a few condos in this same Tops’l Resort. There are some very affordable options! Of course the ones I like best are $$$.
The day after we arrived to Miramar Beach, a 12-story condo building, Champlain Towers, collapsed. I can’t stop refreshing the news. My heart absolutely breaks for those families. If it had been one of my closest friends who lives in the city…..I would have lost my mind and jumped right into the rubble.
I hate to end on a sad note, but please give your loved ones an extra hug. Well-dressed or wearing old sweats….you will never get back today. I love you guys! Thank you for reading.
xx, Chels
