Summer’s come early here in Brisbane. Beach waves. Afternoon storms. Hot sand. Big sunglasses. Even bigger hats. Ice cold water. Salads and sorbets. Bare feet. Cute dresses. Flowers in my hair. BBQs in the park. Pool days. Movie nights. All the good things to look forward to in the upcoming months.
I found these cute one piece togs are in Luang Prabang in Laos — of all the places to find swimwear! After walking around the quaint town, I stumbled across a shop with the adorable emerald green swimsuit. They are different than any togs I’ve seen here in Australia. So cute!

October 7, 2013 at 12:11 amThose are really pretty togs – what a fab colour. (Adore your phone case too!). This is where I’m (finally) heading as well. I’m not quite there yet (still some hang ups to overcome) but today I wore shorts and togs for the first time in about 20 years (no exaggeration!) I knew I didn’t look perfect but it didn’t matter, and R was excited because Mummy was actually going into the water instead of just watching from the sidelines.

October 8, 2013 at 2:51 pmHi bought skirt swimmers with a tankini off ebay and I find it so flattering than regular one piece or bikini (or board shorts or rashie..) http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/Swimwear-/63867/i.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25&_ssn=elfindollkids

October 7, 2013 at 6:57 pmThere is pressure every which way you look to conform to what you “should” look like. I’m at a point in my life where I focus now on whether I feel healthy. I think if you feel good then your confidence makes you look good, no matter if you fit the mould or not. Hmm, note to self, must find some awesome new swimmers.

October 11, 2013 at 6:44 amYou look amazing (although you look amazing in every photo I’ve seen) and in real life too. I’ll always remember that you introduced me to button necklaces!
You’ve started something new. I wan’t those togs! Emerald looks great on red heads. I wonder if I’d stumble on something similar online. Hmmmm
Tie a Scarf into a Summer Vest
November 26, 2013 at 9:07 pm[…] tie the scarf so I can wear it as a vest over singlets and swimwear (looks especially gorgeous over togs when you want to be just a little more covered post swim). Â Always a good thing to be able to […]
