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!

🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨⠀⠀🛑 Learn from my mistakes, 3 things you should NOT do if you’re running Disney races this year (trust me):⠀⠀1️⃣ Passing Go and Heading STRAIGHT to the parks: I realllllyyyyy wanted medal pictures.  In my running outfit.  So, instead of taking the buses straight from the finish line back to the hotel……we went to the Magic Kingdom.  Took photos.  Went to lunch.  And felt…..terrible by about 1 pm.  So take it from me, finish the race.  Go to the hotel.  Shower. Take a nap.  THEN go to the parks. ⠀2️⃣ Breakfast: ok, mistake number 2.  WHAT WE ATE.  We booked a very cute, very on theme lunch.  It was also very rich and creamy food.  And…..was NOT IT after a race.  Some of us may have gotten sick.  It might have been the food.  Or the lack of sleep.  But, breakfast food (waffles / eggs) would have been a MUCH better choice.  Now bonus points if you can guess where we ate.  Love it, but….not for the first meal after the race.⠀3️⃣ Park Tickets: I spent WAY too much.  I didn’t buy my park tickets in advance and paid full price.  On a race weekend, you’ll probably want tickets for race day and the day after if not two days after.  So….buy them NOW.  While you can get a deal. ⠀⠀🎟️ Which leads to……when I say buy those park tickets now, I mean it. Big News! Undercover Tourist is offering their best ticket deal at BOTH Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort…for a VERY limited time, get Adult Theme Park Tickets at Child Prices.  So whichever race you are running (or races in my case)……snag tickets NOW.  I’m grabbing mine for Wine and Dine and Princess weekend……..⠀🎟️ want a link to the deal? Comment TICKETS PLEASE and I’ll send it your way! ⠀👟 Are you running a Disney Race this year? Which one? ⠀⠀🥇 And if you’re an experienced Run Disney person….what tips do YOU have for first timers?⠀⠀@themeparkfrog @disneyland #FrogHopDLR #rundisney

Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off another year of family halloween costumes.The thing is, I tried to talk Lydia out of these costumes.  It was a cooler day on Saturday and I kept telling her we could just wear jeans and the hats.  Until, I realized…….we may not have that many Halloween seasons left of cute family costumes.  So pink witches we were…..for the kickoff of Legoland’s Brick or Treat. We love Brick or Treat (this is our 3rd year doing it). It’s got some new activities this year, and I L-O-V-E that it’s included in your regular @legolandcalifornia ticket (bonus it ALSO will be included in Kids Free October here in SD).Our favs this year:- the wacky witch trail near the water park entrance- the zombie cheerleaders- halloween themed apple fries- the monster security checkpoint- Jam Out with the Rockers (this meet and greet is HYSTERICAL, scroll for the footage)Brick or Treat takes place on Saturdays in September and then Saturdays and SOME Sundays in October (dates are on the Legoland website).Welp, this makes it official.  Summer has come to an end. Bring on the Halloween fun!#sponsored #LEGOLANDcalifornia
