Swimsuits Are For Swimming

I need to buy a new swimsuit. I naively thought this would be a pretty simple task, but no. For some reason, the majority of affordable swimsuits are either plain with a good shape, or have beautiful patterns with awful shapes. Whyyyyyy?! All I want is practical & pretty.

The requirements: A fairly high neckline, pretty pattern & I need to be able to dive, swim and race in it. I've found some on pinterest, so they must exist.



After hours & hours of searching (no exaggeration) I found my selection.


1, 2, 3

Out of this selection, as much as I love the low backs, my favourite was the 3rd swimsuit from Urban Outfitters. The pattern is perfect, its got  high neckline & a really cute little cut out detail. Perfection.

Listening tooo: 'Sun' by Two Door Cinema Club. I cannot stop listening to this!

    I notice a huge rise in 1 pieces this year! They've been making their comeback! I haven't worn a swimsuit in almost 8 years, I just don't really enjoy swimming or go to the beach much. :(

    For some reason I decided NOT to get my bikini before I went on holiday as I couldn't find anything I really loved. So I ended up landing in Croatia and found amazing bikinis and swimsuits in shops over there and to top it all, they were super cheap. Double whammy!!

    I've had the same problem! Of course, on top of that I'm really tall so almost all one-pieces are too short for me. Bah! Dumb swimsuits!
