the MRS. & the MOMMA: Lime Ricki Swimwear + 4th of July Style

Happy 4th of July (eve)!!!

Guess what???

I've got news for you today...A momentous occasion has occurred, folks.

And it has to do with a swimsuit.

At the beginning of this summer I was sulking a bit about the prospects of being around water...in a swimsuit. I own several suitable (ha, pun unintended) ones, but I can't say I've ever owned a suit I LOVED. And that bummed me out a little because I knew we'd be at the pool/beach/lake this entire summer. Sound familiar to any of ya'?

Well, about a month ago (when my bad attitude about swimsuits had peaked), Lime Ricki Swimwear contacted me about reviewing one of their suits. (They must have known this momma couldn't be more perfect for the job at that time!) Excitedly, I debated over which one to get...really, it took days of going back and forth over several of them I love...but finally decided upon this Cinch-neck Cream Dot Tankini Top and their Class Black Bottoms...and I'm so thrilled with my choice!

I finally found a swimsuit I LOVE!!!!

(Did you hear those angels singing???)

Unlike some other suits I've worn in the past, Lime Ricki makes some solid quality pieces. I feel like this suit could withstand years of wear...and I plan on it! I love the coverage it has while not sacrificing style and unique attention to detail (like the straps on the back). I also really appreciate that Lime Ricki's pieces can be mix-matched, so if I decide later to get a skirt bottom or different top, I know I have several options that can coordinate with a suit I already own!

So how can you get your hands on one of Lime Ricki's amazing suits!?! Check out their line of tops and bottoms and onepieces HERE! And you can use the discount code THEMRS15 for 15% off your purchase until July

So tomorrow for Independence Day, we'll be right here...at this pool. Until, of course, it's time for the fireworks. I am NOT known to ever miss fireworks. They're my favorite! I get clappy and giddy when they start and occasionally squirt a tear or two.

God Bless America!

Oh, I almost forgot! My SIL gave me this Americana "cape" knowing that I love all things patriotic. Isn't it cool??? You can find it at Free People: Old Americana Cape
