joanak: swimsuits for the curvy gals

I live in a coastal town so beach bodies are everywhere.
I recently went down to silver strand beach on 5 de mayo with with friends and family.
The kids had a blast and it was a great day to be out soaking in the sun.

Sadly this beach visit caught me off guard so, I threw on last years bathing suit and found out it no longer flatters this years body :( Thankfully, I have a husband that loves me no matter what my body looks like <3

I did everyone else on the beach a favor and covered up almost every inch of my body that day.
As soon as I got home I started shopping around for cute "curve" friendly swimsuits.

 **I refuse to become the size 0 girl that's half naked on the beach. 
I am a mother, and happy wife so the thong bikini days are behind me....no pun intended lol**

I have to say that I was surprised to find so many options!
I had to share!

Here are my favorite pieces for all the "curvy-er" ladies out there. I hope this helps you gain some confidence and join me on the beach this summer ;-D

These first couple of looks are from www.theorchidboutique.com
the romper on the bottom is my fav!!. Its such a fun fresh take on the old terry cloth cover up <3

I also loved all the Juicy & Betsey styles on www.everythingbutwater.com
I'm head over heels over the cute pin up swim dresses right now.
The black Betsey Johnson is my top pick <3
