I have shared a lot of different looks over the years, but today I’m sharing something way outside of my comfort zone…a look at my new swimsuit from Swimsuits for All.

This is a huge first for me, because not only have I never shared pictures of myself in a swimsuit before, I’ve never even allowed myself to be photographed in a swimsuit. But I’m doing it now because it’s real, and because I want to encourage others to be comfortable with who they are, no matter what anyone else says about it. Plus, I really like my new swimsuit, even though it was hard to say goodbye to the old one!

I kept the accessories simple, in black, red, and white (enter sunburned zebra jokes)…of course, poolside, I won’t be bothering with accessories beyond sunglasses, if I even remember those!

I love the retro feel of the suit!

I’m looking forward to making many happy summer memories at the pool in this swimsuit!
