2 Pieces For Your Curves

When I was younger, I never used to care. Whenever we were going to the beach or to the pool, I used to go into my closet and grab the first 2 piece bathing suit I could find. I would rock that bathing suit and walk around the beach or pool area like I owned it, and I thought I was pretty and that I looked good. I was unashamed and didn't care what anyone said, because I know for sure there were some whispers going on poolside but I could have cared less....

This summer, I want all you ladies to get back to that place. That time when you gave not a single hoot what anyone thought of your outfit or bathing suit. That time when you looked in the mirror and didn't count the number of back rolls you were able to hide or how much of your love handles that you were able to tuck in... That time when you felt pretty and carefree. This summer, I want you to rock a TWO PIECE BATHING SUIT!!!

The first swimsuit destination I am going to share is Rue 107. With their newly launched Rue+, they are really making waves in the swimsuit arena, Check out some of my favorite pieces below:

Monif C is a well-known name in the plus size fashion industry, and judging from just her swimsuit offerings, it is no wonder why. Every year, she always comes up with the most amazing swimsuit collection that could drive anyone to fall in love with bigger girls, and this year is no exception. Here are some of the pieces modeled by Anita Marshall.

This year, Swimsuits For All partnered with my all time favorite blogger, Gabi Gregg of Gabifresh, to create a capsule collection featuring 2 pieces, 1 pieces and cover ups to die for. Below is Gabi wearing my favorite piece form the collection, the galaxy 2 pieces bathing suit. This suit is currently sold out but be sure to head over to the site and shop the other bathing suits.

Nakimuli is another store that I am absolutely obsessed with. They always have fun pieces and have my favorite upcoming model, Essie Golden, modeling for them. They had a giveaway last week that I unfortunately didn't win... but I still love them, lol.

For all you budget fashionistas, Forever 21+ is a great place to look at for some cute swimwear at an affordable price. Below is an example of some of their 2 pieces:

There are so many choices now when it comes to swimwear. In addition to 2 piece bathing suits, the above mentioned stores have a selection of 1 pieces, cover ups and other swimwear and beach accessories.
