Happy Summer! I absolutely adore summer; being on the southern east cost, I get to really enjoy the beach a good portion of the year.
Since I'm always there, having a nice bathing suit cover is a must for me. So many of the bathing suit covers I find in the stores are either not flattering, or not functional. I really don't want to have to always pull a bathing suit cover on over my head. Sometimes I want something I can just slip on that is super flattering. I also love when my clothing can do double duty.

That criteria was the inspiration behind this months CAL. I wanted to design a bathing suit cover that would flatter all body types and be easy to put on (and take off) at the beach or pool. The Changing Tides Cover can be used as so much more. It's also a great warm weather cover. It would look awesome over a pair of jeans or a fancy dress.
The Changing Tides Cover is available in three sizes. Small/Medium, Large/1x and 2x/3x.
