Monday Mingle: Swimsuits and Maxis
Happy Monday lovelies! We’re trying something a little different with Monday Mingle today and featuring someone who loves getting in front of the camera…my little lady bean. All I have to do is say…cheese and she turns it on! Is she a blogger’s daughter or what? Haha! So, I thought she would be a fabulous addition to the Monday Mingle outfit lineup. Swimwear is still relevant in this neck of the woods…It maybe fall, but we’ll be rockin’ our swimsuits and resort wear for a while yet.
Here in Florida it’s definitely STILL swimsuit weather, so we were elated to receive a AliOliKids swimsuit for some early fall water play. What struck me the must about this sweet swimsuit was how it was perfectly suited for a little girl. She has many years ahead of her to wear more grownup gear, so I like to dress her in outfits that really reflect her age…and I think this AliOliKids swimsuit definitely says two years old…Don’t you?
And so you have a little grown up girl inspiration too…How gorgeous does Megan look in this multi-colored maxi?!? She wore it to one of our lovely dinners on our Royal Caribbean cruise. Boy do I wish we could go back there right NOW!
So, what are your favorite swimwear brands lovelies? Don’t forget to join us, Momtrends and Thirty Something Fashion by linking up your own style posts below. And we launched a fabulous new giveaway last week, so make sure you enter to win that too!
Disclosure: We received a sample, but the opinions expressed are our own.

She is too adorable and I love the suit! I completely agree, bikinis do not belong on babies!

What a lovely maxidress! I’m not ready for summer to end!!!!
Your daughter looks so cute! I love her little swimsuit. I also love the print on Megan’s maxi. Very nice!
What a little cutie! Definitely the perfect swimsuit for a 2 year old:)
That is a very sweet little girl suit! We’re still in swimsuit weather here too, probably through mid-October.
How cute is that little one? Better be careful; once she learns how to type she may steal the spotlight altogether!
I love Megan’s maxi. I wish I could find one short enough for me to wear. At 5′ it’s a challenge but I haven’t given up yet 😉

That maxi is very flattering! It IS perfect for a Cruise as day wear with sandals and as evening wear with wedges, she looks fantastic.

I got a maxi dress once and ended up throwing it away lol. I am really short and it was not flattering on me at all.
I’m pretty height challenged too…The trick is hemming and lines and prints that make you look longer! 🙂
You both look great! That maxi dress is gorgeous, and your daughter is adorable!
Love the maxi dress!
Fancy enough for a cruise and casual enough for a walk down the boardwalk.
We went on a cruise in 09 and I loved it!
Had the best sleep of my life!
That swimsuit is absolutely adorable. I love the fun pattern.
The dress is beautiful! I love the colors and the length of it!
I need to invest in a fun maxi, I have feared it due to my shortness 🙂
I’m loving the maxi dress, definitely my style and something I could wear. The swimsuit is too cute!
Adorable baby. These outfits look great.
She is absolutely adorable in her cute little swimwear. Our weather is getting cooler so we aren’t wearing swimsuits here at all but Maxi’s are still in.
She looks adorable. And I love that dress. It looks so comfy.
She is adorable. I love that bathing suit. Its so girly but not grown up!
Oh I love that maxi (they’re the only type of dresses I think look good on me) and I’ve been looking more and more at bright patterns.
I think the girls swimsuit is so cute and the dress looks great on you. I entered the giveaway 🙂
That maxi dress is absolutely gorgeous!
So adorable. Also, you are wearing that dress too 🙂
I think bathing suits are so cute on little girls but I do absolutely love that this is more modest, especially for babies. I absolutely love this! And I love your dress too!
