To the majority of women say buying a swimsuit is worse than going to the dentist.   Here are some ideas that will make going to the pool not so scary.

The Mod Bod

Lucy Pink Lemonade: This 40's inspired suit brings flirty back. The two tone trunks adds just enough contrast.   
The top offers a nice length while the neck and back ties gives you a custom fit. You'll feel feminine and flirty in the Lucy.

Ella Filibu print: This print has been popular with the young girls. The tired ruffle swings and gives fun movement. The adjustable straps gives this neck line modest custom coverage. The simple chocolate trunk adds just a bit of color.  The Ella compliments all body types.  

Cassie Floral: The Cassie has a convertible strap system allowing for a halter, camisole or criss-cross tie option. The orchid color is beautiful on all skin tones. The Cassie print lends a Retro feel and makes you feel playful. Aubree pink ruffle tankini top $49.95
Pink Bikini bottom $27.95

Malorie tankini top in bright print $47.95
Brown bikini bottom $27.95
Brown swim skirt $29.95

When it comes to selecting denim for spring there a few styles that every woman should be familiar with for her body type. The three styles are Bermuda’s, boyfriend jeans and Capri’s.

Bermuda: a long short that hits just above or below the knee. This short can be a straight bottom or cuffed; depending on the size of your calf.

Boyfriend: a flash back to the 80’s slouchy jeans…this look is re-invented in a modern way. A lighter wash denim that is loose through the thigh and straight leg with a slightly tapered bottom that is rolled three to four inches above the ankle.

Capri: Traditional spring pant that is a straight leg bottom. The length falls below the fullest part of the calf and extends three to four inches.

Here I am with the owners of LuvSaavy, Holly Demille and Angie Fisher, along with one of the models Angie Larsen who is wearing a Tie dyed tank from Anama. Detailed with fringe and rivots ($52), layered with the cap sleeve in white ($17.50).  The jeans are skinny, flap-pocket Capri’s with diamond detail from Miss Me ($88).   Accessorized with encouraging message leather bling bracelet by Humanity ($28).   It comes in several colors. Twisted silver hoops ($12).

Also modeled from LuvSaavy were a grey lace ruffle top ($42) with cap sleeve layering t-shirt in charcoal ($17.50).  The jeans are boyfriend slouchy jeans by Miss Me ($88).  Accessorized  with sparkly bracelet in mixed metal tones ($38). Gold hoop earrings ($12).
