There’s something about swimwear that gets women all choked up but for me these days I just slap the stuff on, adjust the girls and go. This is not the first time the internet has seen me in a pair of togs and I’m sure it wont be the last. I’m not a Victoria’s Secret model, a pin up babe or an attention seeker, I just show no fear. This isn’t something that’s come naturally, I’ve had to slowly break down my own preconceptions. I assumed that my body had to look a certain way for me to feel validated whilst wearing swimwear. No one needs validation in swimwear… it’s just swimwear. Pieces of cloth to cover your bits to keep some mystery in the world.

Of course I’d love to be rocking a leaner toned bod but I haven’t put in the effort to have that kind of “result” so the soft plumpness that is me is all there is for today but surely that body, my body, still deserves some stretchy cloth, some sunshine and a dip in the water. Don’t wait until “perfection”… just be.

I never really thought I could pull off red but now I find myself reaching for it more and more. Aidan loves it when I wear it, my lips look “like lollies”.
Love that sarong its hot! Looking great in your swimmers!

It’s super cheap from Ezibuy, I think you’d like quite a bit of their stuff. Most of their normal ranges go up to a size 20 now so take a look, they have bikinis too.
So right. We a;l deserve some fabric to cover our bits while we swim.You however look beautiful in yours. Thanks for the inspiration
Thank you Martina xx
You look wonderful, I’ve been searching for a one piece for soo long and this gives me inspiration to keep looking.

Thanks Kylee, the combination was a last minute decision but I’m glad I went with it lol.
Wow! Hello Hollywood movie star! Love the red lippy too! :)
Thanks I think I’m addicted.
Hi Dani, you look great, good on you for accepting your body, you are an inspiration!
My body is constantly changing, sometimes positively, sometimes not so much. I’d definitely class it as a work in progress which is loved regardless xx
Stunning Dani! Love that wrap, and your swimmers looks so comfortable. Love the red lippy too.

The swimmers are really comfortable and made with gorgeous fabric but the bust area isn’t as supportive for someone with epic boobs like me. I’d personally like an extra 1″-1.5″ covering the bust and the option of an adjustable neck tie but I make it work lol.
This is a seriously sexy one piece, you look great!! The Sorella swimwear is just GORGEOUS, but looks like they don’t ship to NZ :(

Hi Kt that’s a shame, you could always use sites like Shopbop (featured in my sidebar) to ship for you?
Looks like they don’t have any at the moment, however OMG so much other cool stuff :D

Olivia recently posted..Aussie Curves: Swimwear
First off, you look like a pinup girl. So sexy!!!! Wow!
Second, I always say this about whatever I wear. I am not waiting for some day that probably will never come to wear what I want to wear – bathing suits included. I love beach vacations and the pool in summer way too much for that!! And I am a happier person for it.
Love this post lady!! You are fabulous!
This is gorgeous! Love the bling and of course the red lipstick, love a good black tog with some bling! reoooow
I’m so glad you included the lipstick in your listing – I was going to ask what it was, it’s gorgeous.
I adore your swim suit. These photos are fantastic. Beautful. <3
