Banana Suit

Swimsuit: Modcloth

Sandals: Modcloth

Sunglasses: Zero UV

          I’ve always been a fan of high waist swimsuits.  I’ve bought three of them in the past, but never wore them because they just didn’t fit right.  I realized that that’s because they don’t come to my natural waist.  They hit me just below the belly button.  Those bottoms just look awkward.  I shopped around a lot this summer, looking for the perfect high waist swimsuit.  I was really frustrated, trying to find a pair of bottoms that actually came to the waist.  Most stores don’t sell them.  I feel like they try to play it safe by making “high waist” bottoms that go about an inch below the belly button.  They just end up looking stupid and being unwearable because they don’t fit into any category.  I finally found the perfect suit at Modcloth.  I was a bit nervous to buy them online because I didn’t want to make the same mistake I made in the past.  I looked at the picture of the model and assumed that she was wearing a size Small.  That’s the size I wear and my torso is much shorter than a model’s.  I figured if the bottoms came to the models waist, they were sure to come up to mine.  Modcloth is a really good place to find high waist swimsuits because they have a lot of options in the summer.  I also love the banana print on this suit.  I don’t think I will ever find a similar swimsuit in my life.
