Karla Colleto Covered Rings Swimsuit
Posted by Jeff on Jun 13th, 2008
Normally, Frilly Friday is reserved for something you might not wear out of the house. Swimwear, on the other hand, is something you probably very rarely wear in the house. So, how does swimwear end up on Frilly Friday? Well, the true definition of Frilly Friday is something that’s really pretty, but not so practical. So, when applying that to swimwear, we generally think of it like this:
It looks great, but leaves you with really funky tan lines.
This V-neck swimsuit from Karla Colleto fits that bill. The front contains an interesting pattern of rings and cutaways that will leave a rather “stitched up” tan pattern if you spend too much time out in the sun. It’s this very detail, however, that makes this suit so eye-catchingly beautiful. Like the front, the back is cut low (sans rings), but offers full coverage in the rear. I don’t recommend you wear it for a day at the beach, but it’s perfect for an evening in the hot tub.
Jeff, you may remember my purple swimsuit that was designed to look like it had little “bubbles” on the front. But the bubbles were actually circles cut out of the fabric around the tummy area. I wore it for a weekend on the beach, and then had my annual Doctor’s appt on Tuesday the next week.
Where the swimsuit had been cut out, I got little tanned and sunburned circles on my tummy. My doctor thought I had chicken pocks or measles!
