One of my favorite things about being a blogger is when I get to work with a brand that just gets women. I’m not talking about the types of product they carry or the many colors/patterns they might come in. I’m talking about their mission, their values, their branding, their approach. Aerie is one of those brands that, while yes they have tons of goodies every girl will love, they are also sending it us with a super powerful message: embrace your body, love your body and don’t feel the need or pressure to fit into a mold of what is supposed to be ‘beautiful’.
If you do a quick look through the #AERIEREAL hashtag on Instagram or Twitter, you’ll see tons of girls celebrating their unique bodies and empowering others to join them. And that is something I can 100% get behind because let’s be REAL, I, just like everyone else, have body insecurities. I’ve struggled with them for years but love getting the chance to share with you guys just how silly they are. So, I’m throwing on the most amazing, adorable, sexy, flattering one piece and flaunting MY curves, flaws, etc. because all of that is beautiful. And what’s even more beautiful/sexy/amazing is the confidence to do it!
When I tried on this plum swimsuit for the first time, I fell in love. Not only did I think the color was bomb.com but I loved the strappy back detail with the bright pop of color. I’ve also been a major fan of one-pieces lately because they’re just easier. You don’t have to worry about the bottoms sliding off when you cannon-ball into the pool and they give me total beach babe vibes. I can’t wait to rock this beauty to the next pool party or beach vacay (coming for you, Florida!).
I challenge all of you lovely, confident, hot, powerful ladies to join me in the #AERIEREAL movement. Whether that means heading to the pool in the skimpiest bikini you own (from Aerie obvi) without doubting yourself or snapping a pic on Insta with the hashtag…up to you. I promise, you will feel SO empowered and honestly, ready to rule the world.
This post was written in collaboration with Aerie but 100% real to me! Thanks for supporting the brands that keep Fashionably Lo’s doors open!
You go, girl!
