This is not a sponsored post. However, the swim suit was provided to me for purposes of a review. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.

This is the final remix of my two new swim suits from Rosegal. You are probably thinking, “Thank goodness. Enough of her pasty white skin blinding me through my computer screen.” I promise, this will be the end of it seeing as I don’t really going swimming much anyway. I could have combined all four sets of swim suit stylings into one post except I have been working on some other projects and needed the easy extra content to get me through until I really start sharing the good stuff. More on that later. Later meaning next week…maybe.

In case you missed the other three swim suit stylings (or maybe you appreciate my translucent glowing skin and just want to look at it more), you can read the posts in order right below…

I think this is my favorite combination of the four options. The cat top from the Cat Cartoon Bikini Set and the high waisted polka dot bottom from the Polka Dot Halter Bikini. By the way, I just ordered a cat cartoon dress from Rosegal as well. It should be arriving soon so stay tuned for that…because you know, I am a 45 year old child and like my kitten themed apparel. I actually have four new dresses on the way from Rosegal and they are all kind of whimsical and silly and fun. I am all about embracing my inner child and having some fun this summer!

I want to take a moment to thank all of you for the many positive comments I have received in response to these swim suit posts. To make a very grand understatement, it is highly intimidating to publicly share photos of oneself in nothing but a bikini. I did it all with very great purpose though. Firstly, to face my own fear of doing it. Secondly, to show myself and all of you that it is a ridiculous fear to have in the first place. It is just a freaking swim suit.

I am tired of hiding away from everything that scares me. You know, up until two weeks ago, I was terrified of dancing in public. I would stand stiff as can be and try to look like I was enjoying myself in places where dancing was going on. I would watch people dancing the night away simply enjoying their own existence and the free movement of their bodies without a care in the world and I would get envious. Until I went to the Lotus show in Asheville two weeks ago. I had finally decided after half my life has passed that I have been quite foolish and probably have missed out on a lot of good times in my resistance to give into the music. Who cares what you look like while dancing as long as you are enjoying the moment? And so I danced. I danced so hard my legs were sore for days. And then I danced again this past weekend at the Busy Bird Bluegrass Festival. I danced like a fool, the happiest fool on the planet. Now I will continue to dance given any opportunity I get. And I will also wear my swim suit without shame or fear in all the shining glory of my pale skin!

It has taken me a long time to realize that we are all so caught up in our own insecurities that we aren’t even noticing, let alone judging, the way others look when they are dancing or wearing a swim suit or giving a speech or singing or doing anything at all. And the few who may be watching us and judging are only doing so because they are super insecure themselves. Now is the time to let it all go and live the life we have always wanted to live. Way back in January, I had declared 2019 as my year of letting go. It is now July and I finally get what I am supposed to be doing! There is much more to come, so I hope you stay with me for the ride. I do so love your company!

And now let me share your featured favorites from last week.

Mousmous of La Mousmous shared her post, Another Summer Dress, and what a dress it is! The tiers and the twirlability and the shape and the print! It is all so magnificent and Mousmous wears it in the most supreme way! I absolutely love her style.

Tiina of Elegance Revisited shared her post, Summer Rain. Here’s the thing about Tiina…you always get a cute, perfectly styled outfit. But don’t ever just stop at the photos. Get into the heart of her text because she will always make you laugh without fail. Tiina has got to be one of the funniest bloggers I know with her quick wit and mildly self-depracating humor that literally makes me choke on something every time I read a post! Tiina, thanks for all the laughter!
