It’s that time of the year again.
SUMMER
And if I am not mistaken, today (as of writing this post) is the first official day of summer. I seriously thought winter would never end. Regardless of how mild it may be over the colder months, I always miss the kiss of the sun and how it warms you when you step outside. Now one of the things I love most about summer, and about living on the Gulf, is the never ending supply of water and water events to attend.
Swimsuits
Now Charlotte is a fashion diva. If it were up to her, she would own 14 swimsuits and she would find an excuse to wear at least 2 a day for the rest of the summer. This year though, I get to dress two little babes, and we can’t leave Mr. Little P out of the equation. For her, I need a swimsuit that covers her appropriately for her age, allows her to be who she is and not think about it coming off or sagging in odd places, and is also cute. For Phoenyx, I need one that can get over the big swim diaper and feel comfortable around his little baby rolls. I am so happy that I found a brand that can supply all those things and more…but do not take my word for it, let the pictures speak for themselves!
Little P is wearing the Lands End Summer Floral Zip pocket Board Shorts in size 2T
($24.99)
The shorts have an inside draw string that makes for an easy adjustment and a liner.
Charlotte is wearing the Girls Ruffle Front Adjustable Tankini ($14.99) and bottom ($9.99) in Light Turquoise Stripe in size 7.
Also comes in 1 piece version here Girls Ruffle Front Adjustable Swimsuit
Charlotte is a size 7 and it is exactly a size 7. Fits her fantastic with nearly full coverage. If she puts her hands over her head, the tank comes up slightly over her belly.
And yes…she has a blue Gatorade mustache.
What I love the most about Charlottes swimsuit is she doesn’t sacrifice modesty for fashion. I want nothing more than for her to be a little lady but still feel up to date. I am very strict about bikinis at her age, but loved how this tankini was adjustable and nearly the same coverage as a one piece, without the hassle of a one piece.
I think this is Charlotte’s 3rd suit this summer and I can tell her favorite so far.
How many suits do your kids own?
