THE TERROR THAT IS THE BATHING SUIT.

Ok ladies, the sun's presence is making itself increasingly familiar here in ywg and there's a quiet but familiar fear that's creeping up behind me as the seasons change.

As I shed the layers of black, studded and leather goodies, I am reminded that my fashion kryptonite is summer. Living here makes you an expert at dressing in layers and for the seasons fall and winter. It also makes you quite amateur at dressing for anything warmer than 15 degrees celsius.

Given the near 30 degree weather we've been having lately, the beach has been on my mind. Which, simply means I've been running like a mad woman (outside more than inside to work on getting back some colour) and shopping online for some figure flattering *insert ominous music here* BATHING SUITS.

I'm over the bikini...(that's a lie, I'm not over it, I just can't wear them anymore) and I've come to the conclusion that your basic tankini is just not flattering.

I am loooove the 60's inspired suits. I tried some on recently and THEY ARE A WINNER, ladies!! Flattering, tasteful and sexy.
