Hey guys, back with a beach shoot and when I thought about trying to do one I had to think twice. My mind set is back when I was a size 6 with no boobs and no bum and I ordered this Black Swimsuit from La Redoute thinking it would fit. Little did I know that my somewhat glute gains from 3 months of consistent gym had made my butt perkier, so the size 10 didn't even fit comfortably around my cheeks. To top it off my bust couldn't fit a size 10 so with this look I had to wear a bra. I think I will order a Bikini next time that way its easier to buy larger and smaller sizes tailoring to your body shape. The Flip Flops were a size 3.5 and I had seemed to have stretched them in a bit and now they fit perfectly. Here are five ways you can wear Swimwear, basically I wore something lightweight to the Beach that I can easily remove and zip back up. This one is my all time favourite from Miss Selfridge that I bought last year to go to the Miss Guided Press Day. I am really digging the Monochrome palette this Summer along with a touch of 70s now and then. You can't go wrong with a pair of Black Circle Sunnies though from Primark it adds that instant Retro feel to the whole outfit. Secondly I tailored the look with some Black Shorts from La Redoute just to put back on when I come out from the Sea or even to wear when sunbathing. In another look I did before the beach shoot I managed to wear the White Sun Hat with another outfit in my Nao post.
Lots of love,
