I feel like I end up making one of these posts every year...so here is the 2018 edition! I have been noticing some beautiful swimwear lately, and some of the prices are shockingly high. Luckily, I have also noticed some more affordable swimwear with some similar looks! I don't think anyone is surprised that my picks include scallop edges and gingham, but I also really like these one-pieces with the colorful details. I have not worn a lot of one-piece swimsuits since middle school, but there are so many cute ones out now, even the simple ones like this olive green one. Maybe I will end up adding another one to my closet before pool season officially starts!
