Looking for the The Best Black Bathing Suits for a Pear Shaped Body? These classic black swim suits are a total summer must have!

Ok, spring break is here.  And that means it's officially swim suit season.  After I wrote a blog post a couple of weeks back about the best bathing suits for a pear shaped body under $50, I got a ton of requests for something a little more specific……..black bathing suits.  They're a summer staple right? As much as I love a great brightly colored swimsuit, a great fitting black bathing suit is something you'll own for YEARS.

To me, a great fitting black bathing suit for a pear shaped body is worth investing in.  My favorites? I'll be wearing for years to come.

Best Black Bathing Suits for a Pear Shaped Body

There are a million black bathing suits out there……..but a lot of them? Sort of shapeless and unflattering looking.  While I want a black bathing suit, I don't want one that just HIDES the body (trust, I tried those right after having Lydia and they looked TERRIBLE).  When you're on the hunt for a black bathing suit for a pear shaped body……the same tips apply as any other bathing suit.  You want to draw the eyes up, and draw attention to your smaller waist.  So baggy at the waist? NOT FLATTERING.  Think pretty necklines, ruffles, ruching at the top and on your upper torso……and a simple, clean fitted bottom section.  Also, avoid boy shorts, they'll cut your legs off and make them look wider.  I always look for a simple, not too highly cut leg and fairly full coverage in the rear.

Off the Shoulder Swim Suit

I'm not gonna lie, a great off the shoulder swim suit is my FAVORITE for a pear shaped body.  This amazing one from Eberjey is comfortable, and SUPER flattering.  I love that the ruffled sleeves balance out a wider lower half, and feel super feminine.  Bonus? The top is lined, has great support, and fits like a dream.   It's worth EVERY PENNY.  Pair it with a great coverup and you're set for stylish days at the pool or beach.  You can even layer it with a cute skirt for dinners on summer vacations.

Scalloped Swim Suit

My first swim suit this year? Remember the amazing Kate Spade Suit I bought back in January? (yes, the one that some mom gave me the side when I wore it to the pool!)  The scalloped top is just adorable, and I love that the pretty design draws the eye upward.  This particular suit comes with detachable straps, and I love how versatile it is!

The way I laughed out loud when I spotted this lit The way I laughed out loud when I spotted this little area during our day at Knott’s Berry Farm……. (teachers, you get it right?!?)I mean, HAD TO TAKE A PHOTO (or 20). This weekend was the start of Peanuts Celebration at Knott’s Berry Farm and we spent a day immersed in all things Snoopy.  From the rides in Camp Snoopy to the adorable new shows to the ACTUAL PIGS in Pigpen’s Pig Pen there was so much to do…..I’m so glad that Knott’s invited us to check it all out!Now, who is YOUR favorite Peanuts character? (Lydia’s is Sally, she’s actually playing her in a school play TODAY — the timing, right?) @knottsberryfarm #knottspeanutscelebration
✨ Happy 100th Disney!✨⠀ ⠀ 💜The people a ✨ Happy 100th Disney!✨⠀⠀💜The people are the magic.  Yesterday was filled with friends and food and fun and feet (sore ones after walking around from dawn to way past dusk)…….and as Lydia and I tucked ourselves into bed last night……I felt so much gratitude.  Our happy place has brought so much joy into our lives and so many people that enrich each moment.⠀⠀✨The Disney 100 Celebration will be happening ALL YEAR, and I feel like we still have so much to see and do.⠀⠀💜Favorite Moments and Experiences from our day one of Disney 100:⠀🚂riding Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad: I avoided ALLLLLL spoilers (there are some in this carousel btw), and had seen NONE of the attraction until we stepped into the queue…. it was absolutely adorable and I can’t WAIT to ride it again, plus when we exited the ride…..some of the team that created it were at the exit and seeing their smiles? ABSOLUTE DISNEY MAGIC.⠀🌅seeing the sun rise over the castle bright and early⠀💕running into friends every 5 minutes, it felt like a giant reunion⠀👗characters in their costumes, not going to lie….we didn’t wait in lines for them….they were length, but we gave a wave as we walked by and they looked stunning⠀⠀✨When is your next Disney trip???
🏰Dreaming of Dancing in Front of the Castle for 🏰Dreaming of Dancing in Front of the Castle for Spring Break?🏰⠀⠀📷A few castle photo tips:⠀1️⃣side, not center……both sides of the castle have lovely little spots that provide a great view of the castle and moat, but avoid the crowd (plus you can get some nice flattering light into the mid morning or in the late afternoon)⠀2️⃣want to be closer to the front? Sit on the back of the benches built into the moat entrance, you’ll be a bit elevated, it gives a great angle and a better view of the castle herself ⠀3️⃣if you REALLY want that walking into the castle shot…..this is something you can do during early entry time if you are staying on property ⠀⠀🧳Now, let’s talk Spring Break tips in collaboration with @themeparkfrog :⠀🚨This is IT.  Red alert.  If you’re hoping to visit the Happiest Place on Earth for Spring Break….BOOK IT NOW.  Spring Break is around the corner, and the more you plan, the happier you’ll be (trust me).⠀⠀To do (in order):⠀1️⃣book your hotel, theme park tickets and rental car: for the best deal, you can do this as a bundle with Undercover Tourist (you’ll save a TON this way….I’m sharing more in stories)⠀2️⃣once you have your trip dates….book dining.  At Disneyland you can book 60 days in advance (which means, NOW and coming up very soon for Spring Break).⠀3️⃣ If you want to do something special like the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, you can ALSO book that 60 days in advance.⠀⠀✨So, are you ready? Blue skies, sunshine, and Disney Magic guaranteed. What are YOUR spring break plans?
