Are you looking for a great scalloped swim suit? I’m rounding up the best ones for under $125!Scalloped Swim Suit: This black one piece is perfect on a pear shape body!Funny story about taking these bathing suit pictures.  First of all, yes we took them in JANUARY.  And I understand that in most other parts of the country, it’s freezing.  It happened to be an 80 degree day in Los Angeles, and I thought……let’s give those bathing suits a spin.  This new scalloped swim suit was one I picked up for a couple of spring break trips we have planned, and I was chomping at the bit to give it a test drive (side note, last minute bathing suit shopping pretty much always ends in tears for me…..so now when I see a great swim suit I buy it and save until needed).

So, on a sunny day in January I headed to Santa Monica to a public beach and pool area.  By the time I got there it was filled with families also enjoying that warm weather.  Now, I understand that I rolled up to the pool with a photographer.  And that may look ridiculous.  But, the interaction I had with another mother left me sort of lost in thought.  We were at the pool for MAYBE 45 minutes total.  On the side where we weren’t disrupting anyone.  And I GET that it may look weird to be having someone take pictures of you in a bathing suit.  Especially when you are clearly not model size.  Who do I think am?

Why in the world would some random lady need these pictures?  And the thing I noticed?  These same women? Were hiding in coverups and shorts.  Is there a connection? If we’re uncomfortable with our own bodies are we more likely to criticize and judge others?  

Until very recently, I was that mom hiding in a cover up at the pool with her daughter.  And I wonder if that slanted my view of other women and how comfortable THEY felt?  I do think they’re connected.  Complimenting other women? With a smile, a comment, a thumbs up……guess what that does? It helps us to start complimenting ourselves.  So my challenge to y’all (and myself)…..even if YOU aren’t ready to flaunt it in a bathing suit at the pool or beach? Compliment someone who is.  I promise it will take you one step closer to being proud of your own body in a bathing suit.

  1. The reason I clicked on your Pinterest post is because your thighs are close friends and your body does not look like the typical size 4 posting pics in a swimsuit. I’m also comfortable in a swimsuit (at a size 14), granted I want it to have plenty of tummy control! I absolutely love your post, You have a great shape and I adore that suit on you!!
