WEAR YOUR SWIMSUIT AS A TOP

Give Your Swimsuit a Second Life -- Wear It as a Top!

Who says a bathing suit has to be beach-only attire?

Like many of my fellow ladies, when the weather cools, off I tend to toss all my bathing suits into a designated drawer and hold off on using them until next summer rolls around. But when I spotted this Binding Signs Swimsuit by Insight (originally $56, now $39.99, at Need Supply), I thought to myself: now that would look really cute with a pair of high waisted jeans and a blazer!

Sure, it's a little low cut, but that could easily be fixed by a lacy cami (or possibly perfect for a Friday night date). I could also see something like this Yellow Moon Bandeau by Insight (originally $64, now $49.99, at Need Supply) looking adorable when peeking out from a deep v-neck tee, or dress.

It might seem a little out of the box, but whether you're going to spend $10 or $100 on your suit, to me, it just makes sense to try and find more ways to wear it (rather than limiting yourself to just the pool or beach). And really, who's to say you can't put on swimwear all year long?

So tell me...

Would you wear a bathing suit as a top? Discuss!

MY THOUGHTS

Probably not in a tropical country. The swimsuit will stick to the body like glue because of the heat. On cooler days maybe.
