Last weekend, I celebrated my birthday at the beach. I hadn't spent more than one day at the beach in quite a few years so I thought it would be a great time, particularly because it's getting close to off-season, to visit the beach and play in the water. This trip was especially memorable because we had a wonderful time and I took a major risk.
I have never worn a two piece bathing suit, but much of that is because of bathing suit designs I have seen throughout the years. Since most designs would typically have the entire stomach exposed, I never even thought to wear a two piece until this year. Plus size bathing suits have been popping up everywhere and the designs are so flattering.
I fell in love Forever 21+'s bathing suit collection this year. They had amazing prints and designs! I particularly loved this red, two piece when I saw it and I immediately posted about it on Facebook. On my birthday, I opted for this set because it gave a crop top feel with just a little sexiness. I felt confident on the beach and I'm glad I wore it.
Side Note: When plus size bloggers first began wearing two piece bathing suits online, there seemed to be a lot of backlash and "fat shaming." I just want to say that regardless of your size, you should love and embrace yourself. Your size shouldn't keep you from being happy and living a fun life.
