Cute swimwear look for under $100

BY Sarah Van Nevel | Guest Blogger

Summer is officially here and with Fourth of July weekend looming over those of us who are stuck in the cube, there’s no doubt that most Minnesota girls are trying soak up every possible second of sunshine. Since weekend days mean lounging by a pool at the local country club, catching a few rays on a beachy vacation, or playing games near one of the 10,000 lakes, getting your hands on a versatile bathing suit is key. I recently graduated from college and won’t be going on any more crazy spring break trips, so I’ve decided my swimwear should be a little more grown up and polished.

Finding cute, affordable swimwear that is still high quality can be a challenge, so keep your eyes peeled for early summer deals. Most stores start putting bathing suits out during the late winter months, which means that June and July bring some of the first clearance sales of the season. I’m digging the preppy, classic look this year, and these separates from J. Crew are fun and flirty while still looking put together. I love to top off any summer outfit with a trendy fedora, and I’m adoring the “big earrings on the beach” look that seems so popular right now. How cute is this sand dollar-inspired pair? These rose-colored thongs match the color of the bathing suit perfectly, and you can throw anything you need into this cute, lightweight denim bag. Everything for less than $100, as promised!
