LET'S DISCUSS: Red Swimsuit

Swimsuits are back! They were off the radar for quite a while, caused by the popularity of the bikini. Such a pity, because swimsuits are really amazing. Apart from the fact that they’re not great for tanning, the swimsuit has many benefits. It's flattering, comfortable (no more fumbling with sagging bikini tops and bottoms after a jump in the water) and you can just throw a pair of Levi’s shorts on top of it and you’re good to go.

There are now all kinds of different swimsuits. Personally, I’m a big fan of the simple ones, with a scoop back, round neck and not too much going on. A black colored one was on my shopping list for this summer. Eventually I succeeded at J.Crew (a.k.a. provider of the best basic swimwear), however, not with the black one like I’d planned, but with a red one.

I don’t really know why – I normally never wear the color red – but I had to have it. However, I have to admit that I had my doubts at first. Wasn’t it a bit too sexy (à la Baywatch – the hit TV show back in the 90s), too showy? Too dramatic? It’s an eye catcher for sure. But I decided to just go for it, to step out my comfort zone. And I have absolutely no regrets.

So, I’m curious to know what you guys think of a red Baywatch-inspired swimsuit. Yay or nay? Leave a comment below and let’s discuss J

PERSONAL: Bikini Stash Summer 2015

Hi everyone! The last few days I’ve done nothing else than enjoying my holiday and I have to say I can get used to the holiday life J. What’s nice is that the weather has improved and I’m now finally able to catch a summer tan. My days consist of sleeping in, going out for a morning run (still needs to be done…) and after that lying by the pool all day. Love it!

During the preparation of my vacation, I might have become a little addicted when it comes to buying swimwear. The past few weeks I’ve expanded my bikini stash considerably and for today’s post I thought it would be fun to share it with you guys.
