don’t mind me, just casually adjusting my fabulous blue + white crochet untied bikini top.

oh wait…. on second thought, that may not be a photo of me…. its like looking in a mirror though I swear…..

I know summer is coming to an end, but I’m soaking in ever hot and sunny day we are still having in Chicago 🙂

I popped into Forever21 over the weekend and came up empty handed except for their great Buy 1 Get 1 Free swim special they have going on right now.

They had so, so many options to choose from. 2 bikini tops for $14? Can’t be beat.

I also like tops I can mix + match with my basic, go-to black bottoms.

I love Gingham, so that was an obvious choice, and then I have been wanting to get one of the flouncey/draped bikini tops and loved the fun print of the other.

my iPhone pics are insanely great 🙂 the bottom bikini looks strange but it is that flowy fabric top

all Forever21 Swim is buy 1 get 1 free in store and online!

they also have one of those checkout lines like HomeGoods or Marshalls that I love/hate because I find things for $5 to just throw in the cart. damn! so I grabbed that little cosmetics pouch for a couple bucks.

I also ordered this TopShop one piece during a moment of online shopping when I don’t know what came over me…. and it was sober shopping so I don’t know who I thought I was.

when it arrived, I thought I’d hate it, but I put it on and LOVED it. It is so, so flattering I was shocked. A white one piece? Flattering?

I ended up sending it back because there is no way I will be able to keep that thing clean. Every time I have white bikini bottoms the first day I wear them they somehow have stains just from sitting in the sand at the beach leaves marks all over the bottom. or I read a magazine and the bottoms are wet and the ink gets transferred onto them.

oh well….. if you are capable of being an adult unlike me then I highly recommend it!

J.Crew is having a big 30% off sale, and with that is lots of cute Cover Ups!
