EXPRESS YOURSELF! SUMMER SWIMWEAR + GIVEAWAY

This post brought to you by Express. All opinions are 100% mine.
I have a confession to make. Even though I live in a state where I can only pull out my bikini two months out of the year, I still have a slight addiction to adding at least one new style to my collection every year... if not more! It's one part of my wardrobe where I feel like adding something totally fun or trendy is completely appropriate, which is why I'm loving the selection of very on-trend women's swimwear looks from Express!
express1
What's hotter than white this summer? Nothing. But if you're looking for a little more color, these sorbet shades are sure to do the trick. express2
These two might be my favorite options - a wild little leopard print that totally reverses to black! And I can't get enough of yellow ruffles. express3
Then again, there's always a classic preppy stripe in unexpected purple, or the exotic option of a very fun ikat-inspired pring (looks very Missoni to me!).
Can't decide which ones are your favorite? No need to, because we're giving away $100 certificate for you to use on whatever style you want! Not to mention any other fun accessories or pieces you might be needing to add to your wardrobe. Just leave a comment below letting us know what your top pick might be!
If you want an even bigger prize, be sure to also enter the official sweepstakes for a chance at a $200 certificate by signing up for Express e-mail. (Please see sweepstakes rules.)

  2. I'm a huge believer in the saying "Leopard is the new black" so leopard print without a doubt! Plus, fabulous to mix and match with the black bandeau and bottoms I already own!

  6. To tell the truth...we have extra HOT months in deep South Louisiana however I'm not sure anyone (including myself) would look like these ladies in a swimsuit. With that said, I love the white now all I need is a spray tan. lol
