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!

❤️ This photo shoot is one of them for me. Bravery and stepping out in faith looks different for each of us.  But this is my reminder to y’all and myself…..that when you show yourself in whatever way that looks like for you…….the people who are supposed to be in your life……will be.⠀

⠀
🧡<Sponsored by Avrio Health> Let’s be honest, this normally falls to the wayside, am I right?  As parents, we tend to be way more prepared for our kids' sick days than our own. ⠀
⠀
💛This year, I’m committing to being AS PREPARED to take care of myself as I am to take care of Lydia (reminder moms, these aren’t mutually exclusive….taking care of YOURSELF is important too). I always keep “sick day supplies” on hand for Lydia and this year I'm finally making myself a priority too. ⠀
⠀
💚In my "Sick Day" Kit:⠀
1️⃣Orange Juice:  If I start to feel sick…..Vitamin C filled juice is first up!⠀
2️⃣ @Betadine_us Antiseptic Sore Throat Gargle: This fast-acting gargle temporarily relieves occasional sore throat. I stocked up on this! You can #UpYourGargleGame by buying it at Walgreens or from Amazon! Betadine Gargle should be used as directed for adults and children 12 years and older. See product labeling for directions and warnings. ⠀
3️⃣Heating Pad: Sore muscles? Slept poorly? All of these things tend to come along with sick days and a heating pad is a must have.⠀
4️⃣Ice Packs: I started stocking extra ice packs in our freezer in case of headaches.⠀
5️⃣Soup: Tummy trouble? Better to have soup on hand for when I need it.⠀
⠀
💙What do you keep in the house for sick days?⠀
Watch out for that glass ladies……it’s everyw Watch out for that glass ladies……it’s everywhere!

To broken glass ceilings, rebuilding our nation, and starting the journey of 1000 miles with a single step.

Joy cometh in the morning.
📣How are you using your Influence?📣⠀
⠀
💛I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. We ALL have influence…..on this app, in our church pews, on our personal social media, in our private conversations, talking from 6 feet apart to our neighbors, in the way we address conflicting viewpoints (note to self on this one), over our children and our students.  To be in community with others is to have influence.  How are we each using it? ⠀
⠀
💛This lady? We’re talking all about Inspiration this month and she’s one of mine.  At 75 years old (happy birthday Dolly), not only is she one of THE most successful recording artists…..but talk about using your influence.  From speaking up to say that Black Lives Matter to founding her Imagination Library which provides books to children worldwide…..this lady proactively uses her talent and influence to serve others.  May I do the same at the ripe age of 75.⠀
⠀
💛So what does that look like for me? Authentic conversation everywhere…..including here.  To be transparent, every time I’ve spoke up about basic human rights here in the last few years…….people leave our community. And that? Is just fine with me.  Because, what good is this community if I can't speak about the values that are a core part of who I am? Now? I want to do more. A foundation? Charity work? I’m not sure, but I can tell you…..I’m inspired and I hope you are too.  Change starts with us.⠀
⠀
💛(ps, if you want to support Dolly’s Imagination Library, a book is donated to it for every one of these sweatshirts sold….I include the info here for those of you on like to know it and in my profile for the rest of y’all).⠀

✨Story time.  I rarely share pictures of Lydia by herself on here.  But this? Is a story of when my seven year old reminded me how to love myself.  We had plans to shoot a BUNCH of images at once, a batch shoot.  So as Lydia watched me planning outfits and get organized, she decided she wanted to do her own thing.  She picked an outfit and her favorite shoes. ⠀
⠀
✨And she did the darn thing.  This? She picked the angle and background.  And the joy? Look at the joy.  That’s not posed. ⠀
⠀
✨Somewhere along the way…..as tweens or teens or adults, we lose the joy.  The, I feel pretty and want to twirl in my dress joy.  We worry that our thighs are rubbing together or our hair looks weird, or that we should be wearing a darker color to minimize things.  And…..we’re missing the point.  Sometimes, you just need a dress you can twirl in with a smile on your face.⠀
⠀
✨Thanks Lydia. ⠀

These photos are something I told myself a million times I wanted to take.  And something I told myself a million times I shouldn’t.  Here’s to the millionth time plus one.  A 41 year old curvy mom.  Yup, thick thighs and all.  And I’m so proud of how they turned out.⠀
