Finding the Right Swimsuit

{Photo: Pinterest}

Halfway through July and I'm writing about finding a swimsuit? Well, whether you were waiting for the sales, or were invited to an impromptu pool party, or just haven't found the perfect suit yet, here are a few tips to take some of the frustration out of your search.

There is no such thing as the perfect swimsuit.
Take it from me- when it comes to swimwear, there's no such thing has having it all. A perfectly fitting suit might not come in your favorite color, and if you find a print that you can't live without, be prepared to take it in for a few alterations.

Don't be a penny pincher.
Most of us are on a budget, but swimwear is not the time to skimp. Spending a few extra dollars on a well-made suit won't only extend the life of your purchase, it will usually come with a more flattering fit and classic style.

Try on. Then try on some more.
There is probably nobody in the world that appreciates online shopping as much as I do. I hate, hate, hate trying on clothes. But when it comes to swimsuits, there is no substitute for trying them on. Set aside a few hours and hit the local mall. I've found that department stores are great first stops.

And last but not least...

Don't get discouraged! The right suit is waiting for you, now go find it :)

Sexy Librarian for Spring [The Look]

I got a brand new red pencil skirt in the mail yesterday (lazy bums like me buy most everything online), and of course couldn't wait to wear it to work today. I threw on a few pieces already in my closet, pulled my hair into a top knot, and donned my favorite Warby Parker specs. The pop of color in my skirt kept me in a smiling mood most of the day, and when I met a friend for tea this evening, she remarked, "You've got this whole sexy librarian thing going on!" Here are a few examples to help you build your own sexy librarian look this spring...Old Navy linen blazer / Warby Parker Sinclair eyeglasses / Oasis pencil skirt / Sears oxford shoes / Sandro striped sweater / Kate Spade handbag.

Desperately Seeking the Perfect Coat [Green With Envy]

Universal life truth: When you really, really want something, you can never find it. Take the kelly green coat that's like a big gaping hole in my closet. Sure, Talbots had one last year. Asos had some perfect ones that are all sold out. Adorable and affordable Old Navy option? So 2008. Can someone please explain why, if something is so trendy, it is so hard to find? Or am I that behind the curve?
