The Ultimate Swimsuit Shopping Guide

Now that summer is in full swing, I wanted to share a few of my favorite places to shop for swimwear. I, along with most of the rest of the world, am not the biggest fan of swimsuit shopping. Most swimsuits seem to be made to fit only a very small percentage of body shapes. I’ve tried quite a few different brands in my quest to find swimsuits that fit, feel great, and flatter! Today, I’m sharing some of my best swimsuit shopping tips as well as a few stores that I recommend. Happy shopping!

Business Casual Style Inspiration

I’ve found that it’s surprisingly hard to find business casual style inspiration online; I’m really not sure why (people seem to think it’s more boring than casual clothes? I definitely don’t think that’s the case). I’m just about to start a job, and I wanted to gather some inspiration for things I can wear to work. My plan is to create a work “capsule wardrobe” with about 30 pieces that are really easy to mix and match (and I’m about 2/3 of the way there). These outfits show some good ways to use simple pieces, and gave me a good idea of what other items of clothing I should include in my workwear wardrobe. Business casual definitely doesn’t have to be boring!

Weekend Shopping / Pre-Memorial Day Sales

At the beginning of each season, I try to buy a few items of clothing to add to my closet. I typically focus on pieces that are easy to add to my current wardrobe, are appropriate for the season, and add a little fun!

 

Old Navy: 40% off everything (no exclusions!)

I love this dress for outdoor summer weddings and this dress for casual days! This top is so cute (it fits in well with the bohemian trend that’s big right now without feeling too trendy), and these are my absolute favorite pants.

 

J.Crew Factory: 40% off clearance with code TIMETOSHOP

J.Crew Factory is one of the best places to buy “elevated” tees – ones that are comfortable but not too casual. I love this one and this one, and this romper is beautiful!

 

LOFT: 40% off clearance

I love LOFT for dressier and work-appropriate pieces. This lightweight sweater is perfect for cooler summer nights. These white jeans could be a great summer staple, and this skirt would be really easy to dress up or down!

 

Forever 21

Although there’s no specific sale going on this weekend, I love shopping in Forever 21’s sale section for some amazing deals. This t-shirt midi dress is perfect for summer, as is this denim romper and these adorable flats!
