Yes to the sporty one piece swim as a shirt. No to the $1200 price tag. Part of the fun is looking at Leandra’s fit then figuring out what I already have and can put together playfully. A sporty one piece would also be really fun to thrift! As always, thanks for the inspo lady.

Glad you take it this way!! It is exactly how I used to read magazines/currently browse Instagram. Do you like the Lido suits (their retail between $150/250)? There is one shape that would be really good here

Love this! Are there any brands you like that are on the low end for swimsuits? I want to be able to wear them all summer and not care if they get messed up/stretched out/etc

Link with explainer — I find that swimsuits are like wedding dresses — ones that look eh in photos can transform when trying on. That’s what happened here. The structure, serviceable fabric, perfect French navy—it just worked. https://a.co/d/80kNdDR

Thank you!! This is exactly what a swimsuit should be--that way you can buy a bunch of them, run around with your kids, live, whatever and look cute. I've also become increasingly suspicious of expensive brands in general, the quality is just not comparable to my mom's old designer clothing.

What about just taking it back to the OG swimsuit (although to be clear, the sequined suits from Tory are actually body suits. They snap at the crotch. I wouldn’t swim in them!!)

Leandra, have you tried sizing down in the swim suit? I always so.

I usually size up to avoid camel toe!

Love ' Have it all do it all ' moment, grounded with adorable child and a timeless elegance, yet fun, fresh and off kilter with a Mary Poppins about to 'flyaway ' camera angle :) A happy life.

You have such a fun and fresh perspective! I really look forward to each of your posts. Question: who makes that cute purple

Jacket with the white collar (above)?

It’s also Tory Burch! From years ago. I waited very patiently for it to go on sale before I bought it, so this partner post is a lovely full circle moment 4 me. If I see any sprout in the second hand internet I will ping you
