I’m a huge fan of online shopping because I like the idea of being able to browse whenever I want, on the go, middle of the night—you name it!  However, shopping for a swimsuit is at the bottom of most women’s lists—especially online.  We’d rather get that part over with and get on to enjoying our time in the sun at the pool or beach with our friends and family!  I particularly dislike swimwear with straps that easily untie or don’t offer a flatting fit, the last thing I want to be doing is re-tieing my suit at the beach!  Target is trying to help women get over the dread of swimsuit shopping with the #NOFOMO pledge.  I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite tips to help you find your dream suit online—even if there is still snow on the ground.  It’s never too early to start dreaming about summer, right?

Where to Buy Swimsuits Online: 3 Essential Tips

TRY ON WITH NATURAL LIGHT

Real talk here–trying on a swimsuit in a poorly lit dressing room, or under harsh lighting can accentuate awkward shadows and not be the most flattering way to assess a swimsuit.  I recommend trying on a swimsuit at home (instead of in-store) for a more relaxing experience and without direct overhead light.

ORDER TWO SIZES

I tend to buy my swimsuits from Target because of their free shipping and returns—I wish more retailers offered this!  Order two sizes of the styles that you like and size up or size down easily.  For returns, I just keep them for my next Target run (which, let’s be honest, is once a week!) or easily pop them in the mail.

USE THE SIZE CHART

When shopping online, use the size chart to help determine what the fit will be like.  In the past I’ve ordered swimwear based on “yep this is my size” and then I receive it and it doesn’t fit or, worse, I’ve had it fall off from a crashing ocean wave (definitely a cringe-worthly beach memory!).  When shopping at Target, I use the size chart associated with the specific suit or brand.  I found these two one-piece swimsuits and love them!  One-piece swimsuits are definitely on trend and these have extra detailing to make them anything but boring.

Now that I’ve found these two suits that I adore and love the fit on, I’m excited to plan some summer vacations and escape to some warmer weather.   Hanging poolside in Mexico or swimming at the beach in Hawaii perhaps?  Time to start planning!

    Great tips! Bathing suit shopping can definitely be hard online, but the idea of buying two sizes is such a good one!

    Such great tips, I’ve found lots of great online deals but hesitant to order because of fit, but you just opened my eyes by saying ordering two sizes, duh. Totally easy to do and smart. Thanks!

    Great tips! It really helps to already know your size for different brands. I like to stick with styles that I know I like if I’m buying something unseen.

    Great advice. I can’t count how many times I’ve purchased swim suits online only to find that they don’t fit. I took a hiatus from purchasing online until I found a company I fell in love with while in Kauai, so far so good.

    These are awesome tips! I always order swimwear online, usually from Asos, and the size chart is super helpful!

    I’ve never bought swimwear online because I actually swim laps in my swimwear. But I think I’m going to give some of these a try this coming season. There are just so many more options on line! Thanks for the tips (I’ll be using the size guides!)

    Great tips!! I enjoy shopping online too, but swimsuits can be some of the hardest items of clothing to find that fit perfectly. It’s the worst when you wait in anticipation only to find it’s not quite what you were hoping for. Hopefully these tips can help me when I’m buying a swimsuit for next season. 🙂

I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨ I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨
✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨ Three ✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨
Three months with this little guy and our worlds are rocked. He’s gone from just opening his eyes to rolling over, pushing himself up, grabbing at toys (and my phone as I type this out). He loves to laugh and talk in his baby language all day long 🤣 and sleeps all through the night 🙌🏼 How did we get so blessed with him?! @kmichaels216
Wedding Bells 💍 We are finally diving into some Wedding Bells 💍
We are finally diving into some wedding planning after our engagement last year and not going to lie, it’s overwhelming! We are super laid back and are looking for something small to celebrate. For me, this day isn’t about a big, fancy dress, or hundreds of guests to entertain. It’s about spending time with Kevin and I together committing our lives to one another. I was recommended to check out @shutterfly’s The Wedding Shop and mocked up an invite in this beautiful botanical print perfectly personalized to us and our style. Love our custom candle (smells so good!) and champagne flutes too! Check out my stories for more behind the scenes of unpacking our wedding items and some close ups! #MyShutterfly (ad)
CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week? CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week?
• This morning I had an eye exam to check my contacts / glasses Rx. I shared new glasses on Stories but turns out the Rx was wrong in them. I’m TRYING to wear my glasses more around the house and splurged on a pair from @ysl hoping that would help me do it 🤣🤓
• I haven’t been a big concealer wearer but I’ve been testing out the @urbandecaycosmetics naked concealer and have been liking how light it feels on my skin (I’m wearing it here, dress is new from @urbanoutfitters!)
• A work-related project this week—I’m trying to get my inbox of 700 emails down to zero. My problem is that I’ll get an email with some great piece of info in it and think “oh this is great! I can’t work on this right now but I’ll save for when I can” and I mark it unread. Well over time that has added up to 700 😬 I’m thinking of tackling it by sorting through and noting down whatever idea it is in my notebook (paper planner for LIFE! 📒) to reference it and have them all in one place. Maybe this will work!
• I’m currently sitting here watching this little baby sleep and the whole “I want to eat this baby” thing is SO REAL. What is it about babies where it makes us say that?!? He loves his @bibs_usa and @mushie_co!
• I’m considering cutting 3-4 inches from my hair....but here’s the kicker...I have this weird urge to DO IT MYSELF. Maybe I don’t want to put it off until I can get an appointment but I just want to cut it now. Please you guys, talk me out of doing this with scissors in the bathroom 🤣✂️
• Kevin and I have been binge watching @abcscandal and it’s SO ADDICTING. If you haven’t watched it, join us on Netflix but don’t blame me when you’re 2 episodes past your bedtime 😜 we are currently on season 4 of 7!
• WHAT ARE YOU UP TO THIS WEEK???
NEW MOM FASHION AND BEAUTY HACKS: 💁🏼‍♀️
1️⃣ Style your hair once ride that beautiful hair through the week with minimal effort. I use the @t3micro curling wand on day 1 fresh hair to put a little curl in it. On days 2-4 I use dry shampoo—my favorite is @livingproofinc to soak up oil, and then on days 5+ when dry shampoo doesn’t cut it anymore I throw on a cute beanie
2️⃣ Still trying to “bounce back” (whatever that means...) after baby? Same mama, same. @spanx leather-look leggings suck it all in and help as a postpartum support during healing. Win win!
3️⃣ Duster coats are the ONLY thing I want to wear. Not only do they keep you cozy as we wait for spring, but having pockets is NECESSARY for me. Phone in one, pacifier in another, and whatever other random things I need to bring with me when my arms are full with a baby
4️⃣ Lots of undereye concealer for that 8 hours of sleep look. @tartecosmetics shape tape is a favorite but I’ve been testing out @urbandecaycosmetics stay naked concealer and really like it for more natural coverage
MAMAS, WEIGH IN: What are you mom fashion and beauty hacks?! #newmomhacks
Our morning walk ritual ☺️ It’s still been a Our morning walk ritual ☺️
It’s still been a bit chilly out in the mornings but that doesn’t stop us from bundling up (in matching hats no less!) and going for a walk around our neighborhood. Baby carrying is a wonderful thing once you get the hang of it! I love how it gives you a bit of a workout with the added weight of a baby (Harrison is 11lbs now!) and gives them a chance to look around with a different view than the stroller. I can’t wait until he’s big enough to be front facing and then he can really look out at the world. I’ve been using the @nuna_usa @potterybarnkids CUDL carrier (this fabric is the broken arrow caviar) and my favorite feature are the magnetic clips that automatically snap into place to hold baby snugly. #lovemypbk
