I feel like showing up at a pool party wearing the same this-year’s-trend swimsuit as another girl is like wearing the same dress to Prom. Yuck! Your swimsuit can make such a statement and attract attention when it is a chic style in a unique print or cut. I’m so sick of seeing the same suits out there, and when you’re limited to one-pieces (thank you, stretch marks), the options really narrow down, but when I came across Persona Swimwear, I fell instantly in love with their colors and designs! These are all totally my style! Eye-catching, memorable, flattering, and unique!
 
Don’t you agree? I’m LOVING the one-pieces, especially this one in the middle: The Paris Tankini. It feels so French to me, and the black ruffles are so flirty. What a I love about these fashions are that the one-pieces are adorably unique (and I would wear any of them in a heartbeat) and even the two-pieces are still more modest than most, and not ridiculously skimpy like the bikinis you see lately.
 
Emily Sanders is the SLC-based fashion designer of Personal Swimwear. She has been a Gallery Director, writer, designer, and professional artist for a number of years. I read in an online article about her that she was caught streaking at Girls Camp during Fast and Testimony Meeting. Haha, for some reason I love that! With Emily’s extensive art experience and background, she merged the two worlds of art and fashion, and started Persona Swimwear in early 2010. When asked where she got the name for her company, she said,
“The name Persona comes from the influence of the very purpose of clothing. Yes, we wear it as protection from the elements, but as humans we have transformed it into a statement of who we are as a person. It’s like a little piece of theater — what we wear says to the world what character we play; in other words, we put on a persona.”
I was pleased as punch when Emily offered to send me TWO swimsuits from her line!
I wore the Alice in Wonderland Tankini (sold for $85) to the beach last weekend, and I’ve decided that this is my FAVORITE swimsuit of all time! And I find it interesting that of all the swimsuits I’ve owned, this one is definitely the most covering, as in showing the least amount of skin, but this is by far my husband’s favorite on me. I agree.
Don’t I look like a Tiffany’s box?! I love the color, and the cute little bows give it a hint of flirty. Having them placed on the small of the waist is a great way to accentuate the waist in a good way while directing the eyes away from a fluffy stomach. Maybe a reason why I love it so much is because it is SO comfortable! No tight straps digging into my shoulders, and I’m not constantly pulling and tucking at the fabric. This is a size Medium, and so you can see that on a DDD, its a little snug, but not too bad, huh? I think this is a GREAT swimsuit for all cup sizes and it can flatter a multitude of shapes. The key characteristic for me is the LENGTH! I love how it elongates a short torso and stays snug around the hips. The shorts are super comfy and the boy cut is just right with this top–short but not ‘cheeky’ or too tight around the thigh. I can’t keep praising this one enough!
I also received the Roller Derby Girl Tankini, which is also so stinkin adorable! Cute, cute, cute! I thought I should share my wealth in fantastic swimsuits, and that this one would look fabulous on my cute sister-in-law! Here is Holly in all her adorableness, rockin the Roller Derby Girl Tankini at the beach in Chicago!
Here are her thoughts:
This suit offers the 3 C’s, if you will: Cuteness, Confidence, and Comfort!…This was my first time wearing a tankini and, I must say, it was a wonderful experience. Â I felt cute, yet covered, but not COVERED, if you know what I mean. Â And I don’t remember the last time I wore a pink swimsuit–it’s just so girly, isn’t it?! Â I think those pink bows can bring out the cute in any girl!…Like Camille, I have a (somewhat) fuller-than-average body so support is always a concern for me when it comes to swimsuits. Â Ladies, these suits are very well-made. Â They are sturdy and will hold you in at all the right places so you can feel confident and relaxed while you enjoy your day at the beach with family and friends.…And I saved the best for last: this suit is comfy! Â Camille said it and I’ll say it again–I have never worn such a comfortable swimsuit! Â Just yesterday I went to the beach and hated walking home in the midday heat and humidity of Chicago. Â My swimsuit’s shoulder straps were digging into my shoulders and I just wanted to rip it off! Â So I was thrilled when I tried on this suit and immediately knew I wouldn’t have to deal with that today! Â Gosh, it was comfy…so comfy.
