When I think of the one-piece swimsuit, it really throws me back to those awkward middle school years when my mom thought I was too young to be prancing around in a bikini. Well—thanks to the makers of fashion—those once coveted one-pieces we all used to wear as little girls are back in full force. Personally I found it hard to hop onto this trend; I mean, who wants to be reminded of their “brace face” days and get those awful tan-lines. But soon enough, like every other trendy Instagrammer, I got on board.
Recently while shopping around and doing much stalking of all my favorite bloggers, I finally decided to hop on the wagon and buy my first one-piece suit (well…since the 4th grade…)! The one I chose is from J. Crew—with such a bold summer print I instantly knew I had to have it. The low black and spaghetti straps also give it a bit of edginess since the print is young and fun.
I paired the suit with my absolute favorite Panama Hat from J. Crew. This hat is a necessity for every fashion-lover, considering it looks good on everyone. If you are wanting to be a little less bold with your one-piece a classic stripe or fun solid color can help tone things down a bit.
Summer is coming to a close, but the warm weather will be around for a little while longer! So hurry up and go get that swimsuit that you’ve been dying to wear all summer! I can’t wait to see everyone’s favorites so make sure to tag me and @CFashionista on Instagram!

OMG HEY! My name is McKenna Moorhead and I am a sophomore at Auburn University studying apparel merchandising! I am beyond excited to be writing for College Fashionista this summer, and to be able to share my greatest passion (FASHION) with y’all!
I have always been overly obsessed with styling outfits, shopping (duh), and helping my friends look as fashion forward as possible. You could say I’ve become a fashion critique, considering that I’m constantly envying peoples styles, or seeing an outfit on someone and in my head trying to think of ways I could make it even better! The world is my personal runway, and I take advantage of every second of that!
Whenever I’m told by someone “only you could pull that off” or “thats too crazy for me”, I am immediately peeved. If you like something, always wear it, don’t worry about the rules and just have fun with your clothes… make them your own!
Since the summertime is officially upon us I'm shedding my winter layers and wearing the minimal amount of clothing in order to stay cool. It’s hard to look cute in the heat, constantly sweating, and most likely living in your bikini. Whether it’s a cute bodysuit with some fun jean shorts just to run around in, or an airy dress to throw on for dinner, I’m trying to do summer in the most fashionable way possible. By throwing on little earrings, and always having your dainty chokers on, no matter what you are wearing you will still have some fun accessories to make your outfit all come together.
I look forward to sharing my fave fashion tips with you guys for the rest of the summer! Make sure to follow me (@mckennamoo) and College Fashionista (@CFashionista) to keep up with the latest trends, and styles! ILY ALL & STAY COOL!
