Beachwear on the Bayou
I’ve been wanting to hit a beach for the last few months so that I can kick back and wear cute swimsuits and short shorts. Since I haven’t been able to get to the beach, I decided to flex my beach wear on the bayou baaaaaby!
There are no beautiful, white sand beaches this side of the Mississippi River – only murky waters, swamps, moss and grass (welcome to the dirty south). Ladies, we don’t need to be at the beach to wear our beach attire, we can jazz it up and wear it wherever. Check it out below.

If you end up not taking a beach vacation, your swimwear does not have to suffer! Use your one-piece swimsuit as a bodysuit or wear your swimsuit cover ups as outerwear. This is a creative way to make good use of your swimwear instead letting it sit in your closet until you finally get that dreamy beach vacation.
In these pictures, I am wearing an oversize blue jean shirt dress as outerwear, my American Apparel swimsuit as a bodysuit (I love the cut of their swimsuits and bodysuits), some cut-off shorts that I created from some old jeans, and my Steve Madden comfy sandals (currently on sale). This outfit is ideal for a night-out with the girls, a social event, or festival.

There’s no rule that says you can’t wear your beach attire in the city or even your city attire on the beach! Just be as creative as possible, and the fashion possibilities will be infinite!
What beach look would you rock in the city?
