I remember back in my late teen’s/early-mid twenties, when I wouldn’t dream of putting on a swimsuit cover up! I used to just walk around with, as my mother would say, “everything hanging out” {ha!} I have always been a fan of a skimpy bikini and the smallest tan lines possible! Who else hates tan lines!?
From a young age, I’ve always been super comfortable with my body and never really felt the need to cover up. I suppose my European roots + spending my summers in Austria, where everyone so freely goes topless and is so comfortable with their body, just naturally made me more open. I have observed so many women who won’t even get up from their lounge without covering up! I know we all have our own hang-ups when it comes to our body – especially when it comes to baring so much skin in a swimsuit – but, I think everyone should have the body confidence to strut their stuff down the beach or around a pool in a swim suit sans a sarong!
With all that being said…now, at 33, I’m still comfortable floating around in a teeny bikini, but I’ll jump at any chance – bathroom break, cocktail run, lunch at a fabulous beach bar – to throw on a cute & chic swimsuit cover up!
