Swimwear from Smart & Sexy

Exercise is important to keep your body at its optimal weight. It's also a great way to get your family together for some fun. When I was first beginning my weight loss journey, I thought of exercise as going to the gym and doing repetitive movements over and over again while gasping for breath. Not my idea of fun. But, seriously, exercise can be fun especially when have your whole family with you. No, I don't mean getting your two year old to aerobicize with you. How about taking everyone to the pool or the beach if you're in warmer weather?

I'm in rural Vermont so I'm still seeing snow flurries outside my window as I type. In a few months, my whole family will be down at our local lake enjoying the water there. For now, when I want to go swimming, we go to our local college pool where they offer open swim to the public several nights a week. Swimming is great fun and it doesn't feel at all like exercise to be splashing around in the water. Plus for those people that are heavier, the water adds buoyancy in the water that can help with back and knee pain.

Shopping for swim suits was never my favorite task. It always seemed like I couldn't find anything I liked. Now that I've dropped 40 pounds, it's a little easier for me to find suits that I like that look good on me. Still I'm 44 years old so I have certain things that I look for in a swimsuit.

I've worked with Smart & Sexy in the past on their lingerie products but I recently found out that they have swimsuits as well! Their swimsuits are only available in the smaller sizes. The bottoms can be purchased in sizes small through extra large but that equates to sizes 4/5. According to their site, suits run small. Tops are available in a wider range of sizes from 32B to 42DD for different suits. You'll find suits that have lightly lined tops and suits that have tops that are push up depending on your style needs.  I received the leopard pattern swimsuit above (no we did not get to choose the pattern we wanted) except with boy shorts instead of a traditional bikini bottom.  (and no I am not posting a picture)  I found the sizes to be perfect.  The 36B and medium bottom were exactly what I normally wear in a swimsuit and they fit and wear perfectly. The suit is very well made and I appreciate that the swimsuit top is lined.

Smart & Sexy Swimwear prices start at just $18. Sold as separates, mix & match your tops & bottoms for an individualized look. At that price, I can afford to have several different suits.  I love that you aren't stuck purchasing a specific top and bottom together. I always had a horrible time shopping for suits because I needed a bottom that was larger than the top that I needed. I don't need to worry about that with Smart & Sexy because I can choose what size I need for each. I can also choose the style of bottom I want. I'm not really into bikinis at my age. I much prefer boy shorts or skirts but I like the traditional bikini or tankini tops. I love the flexibility of their site.  You can shop by color or by size which makes it really easy to find what you want.
