Swimwear 101: Cover-Ups

Once you've found the perfect swimsuit that has you throwing caution to the wind and actually wanting to go out half naked in public, it's time to shop for the swimsuit cover-up.  They are, just like their name suggests, a way to cover up your newly sun-kissed skin.  I personally love a cute cover-up because they not only protect me from getting burned, they are what make a poolside outfit.  And let's be honest, the only time I actually want to see my thighs is while slathering them in sunscreen on my lounge chair.  We've come a long way from the muumuu as far as style.

Update Your Look for Spring- Victoria's Secret makes it easy on your wallet!

We're back and living in post-wedding bliss- well not really.  We've both been sick and down, which probably has something to do with the fact that it snowed in Colorado, Paris, AND England... It snowed the entire time we were gone (45 days).  Fall/Winter is usually my favorite time of year, mostly because I love cold weather fashion.  But after all that snow, it left me with a major urge to buy some bright and cheery Spring fashions.

But post-honeymoon in Europe, we are a bit tight on funds at the moment.  So I turned to one of my trusted sources of cheap fashion: Victoria's Secret!  What surprises me is that there are still women who don't know that Victoria's Secret carries clothing, not just bras and panties.  Here are some of the pieces I am buying to update my Spring wardrobe.

One Shoulder Dress $88

Printed Strapless Sweetheart Dress $88 and High Collar Cardigan $29

Strapless Smocked Dress $55

Yoga Slashed Leggings $32.50

Soft and Sexy Wrap $39

Kimono Wrap Dress $108

There are so many more styles at great prices, worth checking out.  You can tell I am obviously a big fan of dresses, especially for Spring.  What's your Spring fashion staple?
