    Crochet Bathing Suits so Pretty You'll Want One Now

    crochet swimsuitcrochet swimsuitMy love affair with crochet doesn't have to end when it comes to bathing suits. And just because it has holes all over it doesn't mean it can be properly sewn into a swimsuit to give you the right amount of coverage and support, and a whole lot of style. And yes, you can even swim in them.

    Behold the Robin Piccone 'Penelope' Crochet Overlay One-Piece Swimsuit ($130) from Nordstrom perfectly named after my daughter. So cute, don't you think? The one-piece (I think my daughter is too, of course). And sure, it's expensive, so if you aren't prepared to splurge, I found some more crochet swimsuits, including a bikini, at a fraction of the cost.

    This Mossimo Women's Crochet One-Piece Swimdress ($29.99) from Target is adorable and I love the color plum. It's modest and still very flattering and feminine.

    Also from Target is the Halterkini Swim Top (22.99) shown with Crochet Hipster Swim Bottom (19.99). This coral is a great summertime color, but it also comes in red and black. This may be the perfect swimsuit for the active mama.

    Crochet looks amazing in white as seen on the Elle Crochet Swim Separates ($28.99 for top and $28.99 for bottoms) from Kohl's. Plus, a white bikini? Really hot this season.
