Summer of Style | 07 - Hi Sugarplum!

I don’t know about you, but a fair amount of my Summer is actually spent wearing a swimsuit. Between the pool and lake, the basis of my weekend outfits mostly revolve around a swimsuit, hat, some sort of cover-up…and of course, sunscreen.

This Summer of Style series, easy-to-create combinations to inspire your Summer wardrobe, is meant to cover all aspects of your life…work, weekend, date night, and lazy pool/beach days. And today I’m sharing how I style my swimsuit when we’re on the water and beyond. Not to be confused with to infinity and beyond. #toystoryanyone?

I’m a fan of modest bikinis (is that an oxymoron?!), but a black one-piece will forever be the most chic option. I use any number of styling options….from traditional cover-ups, jean shorts, and even skirts…to transition from pool to dinner.

Sugarplum Style Tip: Don’t underestimate the power of a hat, statement earring and lipstick to cover the evidence of your fun day in the water! I pull my hair back in a messy bun, and let a hat cover the rest. These pics were literally snapped by my son after spending all day at the lake.

A darling beach bag can add a lot to your outfit, but what you pack inside is even more important! Mine is usually stuffed with towels, drinks, snacks, goggles, a book, and plenty of sunscreen. My love of Supergoop is no surprise around here, I was introduced to it a few years ago, and now use it almost-exclusively!

It’s made with all healthy ingredients, like shea butter and avocado oil, so it feels good going on. But more importantly, Supergoop is completely dedicated to UVA protection…those are the rays that cause 90% of aging and most skin cancers. Did you know that it only takes five sunburns to double your risk of melanoma?! I’m shuddering thinking of the years I spent baking in the sun!

Their newest product, and our family-favorite, is the sunscreen mousse. It’s light as air, goes on easily, and absorbs quickly. My kids love it because it doesn’t leave them feeling sticky, and I love the 50 SPF and water resistance.

Plus, it’s fun to put on…so I don’t have to chase them down to apply it!

I love a good two-piece (this one is my favorite this Summer), but sometimes a girl needs to be able to move around without fear of a wardrobe malfunction! It was an exhaustive search, but I finally found one that was both comfortable and flattering. It has figure-sculpting bands across the front (hello, waistline!), and built-in cups to provide support and shape. I’ve gone from owning no one-pieces, to now wanting this one in a second color! (The pink is on sale, so I’m kind of obligated.) #girlmath

Fit Tip: I usually size up one in swimsuits, especially one-pieces because I have a longer torso. I’m wearing a 4 in this suit.

One-piece swimsuits style essentially the same as a tank top, so they look darling with any style skirt, as well as shorts. I throw on a cotton button-up for extra coverage when needed.

Spending the day with my favorites by the water…is there anything better?! Are you a bikini or one-piece girl? Are you obsessive about sunscreen with your kids, too?
