So technically it isn’t the last weekend of summer, but Labor Day weekend always seems to be the closing of those long days spent outside. To me, there is nothing like a day at the beach or lake. There is just something about the water that is so calming and absolutely beautiful. It could have to do with the fact that I grew up going to my family’s cabin every weekend. Those days full of boating and fun in the sun I will treasure forever. Now being able to share these days in the sun with my husband and daughter makes it that more special.
I’m usually not big on one piece swimwear, but here in Northern Cali when you head to the beach if there is no sun it’s actually cold. This was the perfect way for me to stay warm while still getting my tan on for the 2 hours of sun that happen to make an appearance. I’m not saying I won’t be into more one-pieces, I just always was a bikini girl. Growing up in the middle of the country the humidity is insane so the less fabric the better haha. Also real talk… after having a baby 8 months ago, I still have a little weight lingering in the midsection so this just ultimately made me feel more comfortable. It helps that there are so many cute styles out there and a lot of them are now on sale because it is the end of the season (best time to get swimwear if you ask me). I paired my one piece with my favorite levis, straw hat and sunnies for a laid-back look.
I hope you all had the best Labor Day weekend. Now bring on the cozy sweaters and pumpkin spice everything for fall!
