Looker Moms

The magazines are all full of articles on “how to get thin at the last minute”, just before the summer catches you with all the extra fat…I couldn’t care less about dieting, it’s just picking a bathing suit that’s interesting to me. Especially this year, as there are plenty of retro designs that can actually look nice on real women…

More good news is, that you don’t really have to spend $200 on a swimsuit (unless you want to, which is also cool-we don’t condemn shopping in any form in this blog). I found options I would (and probably will) wear under different budgets:

1. This expensive, gorgeous bikini by Betsey Johnson, almost $200 all together:

2. Old Navy’s Mix and Match collection has lot to offer for around $20 for a complete set. This is my favorite match:

3. If you have a belly you don’t want to show off- go for a sexy one-piece suit, $29.50 at Old Navy:

Enjoy your summer!

Tee-shirts are so comfy we sometimes forget it’s really difficult to look great in them. Anyhow, if you have decided to wear a tee-shirt, wear a chic one. As always, here I’m showing what I would wear:

Urban outfitters have a great selection. I love this one!!!

What to wear it with? black pants or leggings (if you have the right body shape and size for that!!!) and of course, jeans, jean skirt, etc. I would also try a brown full skirt with the tee tucked in and a wide brown belt on top…could be interesting

Gladiator sandals are one of this season’s hottest style trends. I know I talk a lot about shoes, but it’s just that as every woman I know, they’re a weak point (second only to chocolate, which is more of an illness in my case). I love shopping for shoes so much, it’s embarassing. I loose track of time, space, and my husband and kid if I see a nice pair of great shoes on a shop window…

In any case, Gladiator sandals are great. They’re sexy, comfy and very fashion forward without screaming “I’m desperate to look young and cool”. I personally like flat styles better, but there are some heeled ones that are nice too. Here are my favorite picks. Enjoy.
