Best Fitting One Pieces

August 4, 2020

With school start dates being pushed back, it looks like we are getting a few bonus weeks of summer; so why not buy a new suit or two? If you don’t yet have a one pice, now is the time! I was a slow adopter to this trend but have to say that now I am obsessed. The key here is the cut. The right cut can make your body look long and lean and the wrong cut can be disastrous. While it seems counter intuitive, I swear to you, less fabric on your buns make them look smaller. Access fabric adds extra bulk and who in the world wants that?!
In the name of fashion, I tried on several suits and here are my top picks:

I am 9 wears into this suit and loving it more every time. The cut on this Becca one-piece is perfect on the leg and buns. I chase after my kids on the beach all day and everything stays right where it should.  

Okay, this one is more for looking insanely chic while lounging poolside than hanging with the kids. The lux fabric and ring detail on this Aqua one piece make it look much more expensive than it’s $85 price tag. 

The strategic ruching on this Sea Level suit shaves off inches instantly. Pair that with the hidden power mesh and you’ve just lost that quarantine 15. This suit is also great for bigger busts with its adjustable power straps.

Another winner from Becca that hugs you in all the right places. The crochet overlay is super on trend and the panel inlays are insta-slimmers. Available in a neon version as well that looks gorgeous on sun kissed skin.

I was skeptical about the one size fits most Mara suit by BOUND by Bond-Eye but have to say several of my friends have it, all with different body types and swear by it. The material is made from magic as it sucks you and stretches at the same time.

Don’t be scared by the high cut on this Dolce Vita Stella suit. The higher cut elongates your legs and is super flattering. A word of advice, order one size up so you don’t sacrifice any coverage with this cut.

This L*SpaceL*Lockheart suit is pretty enough to wear around town (however there is not enough White Claw in the world to give me the confidence to do so). The belt hits at your natural waist which cinches you in but is also removable.

A simple cover up is all you need to make these ready to go. I love high waisted denim cut off shorts – these Good American’s that fit like a glove or a chic white over sized blouse like this Rails Ellis cotton shirt

Not sure if you can pull off the color pink? You c Not sure if you can pull off the color pink? You can! The key is not going overboard and pairing it with neutral colors like white and camel. Still hesitant? Start with pink lipstick (I swear nothing wakes up a tired face more than a little swipe of lipstick)  or in your accessories like a hat or handbag and then work your way into clothing!

We’ve been spending a lot time at our home in La We’ve been spending a lot time at our home in Lake Havasu lately for a change of scenery- I guess that’s one of the silver linings of virtual school. Whenever we are there, I challenge myself to a play game I like to call “Find cute clothes at @walmart ”- Perfect for #FrugalFridays!
I have to say if you are willing to search, you can actually find some cute pieces like this tie-dye T-shirt I scored for $9.98! I’ve always been a big proponent of mixing high and low so I’ll pair a T-shirt like this with some of my good jeans and bold accessories to balance to look.

Being a stylist I spend a ton of time in malls and Being a stylist I spend a ton of time in malls and stores and picked up this little nugget of wisdom along the way... @freepeople is one of my go to’s and as luck would have it, @macys online and some brick and mortars sell Free People and it is almost always on sale. I bought the henley in this picture for $21 at Macy’s while it was selling for $68 at Free People. Sidebar here for a moment, I love a good henley as an alternative to a plain old T-shirt! So my big take away is if you find something you love at Free People (and who wouldn’t) check out Macy’s before you buy!

If you know me, you know that I love both puppies If you know me, you know that I love both puppies and hats 👒🐶 and while we could all use more puppies these days, today-  let’s talk about hats. It is the easiest way to turn an  outfit from drab to fab in addition to hiding roots, grease and grays or as I like to call it Covid hair.
I can’t tell you the amount of times I have had friends or clients say, oh I could never pull off a hat like you do. WRONG! Hats are definitely all about attitude so when you put one on you have to own it. If you think you can rock it, trust me you can. And if this past year has taught me anything,  at the end of the day, do you really care what anyone thinks about you?!
