Reinventing Swimsuits

So it all started with this swimsuit… I was meeting my friend at the pool when I realized that I had misplaced the neck strap to my favorite swimsuit, ahhhhhh! In a frantic rush, I came up with a plan B. I grabbed the neck strap off another swim suit and hurried out the door. Well, it ended up being a happy happenstance, because I received more compliments wearing that swimsuit than I ever had! And a new trick was born…

Can you believe?!?! FIVE different ways to wear this Merona swim suit, just by changing the neck strap and choosing matching accessories to go along with it! I’ve been really impressed by Target’s swim suits this year. The only problem is that the store inventory is pretty picked over. I purchased a small.

Ok, so here is another trick I learned! Last year I fell in love with and purchased a multi colored floral swim suit. Well, little did I know that since it has so many colors in it, I can mix and match it with my other swim suits like crazy! Watch the floral swim suit do it’s thing…
