Camo and Lace

One of my favorite things to do when getting dressed is to pick unique textures and prints and mix them! Today's outfit is one of my favorite examples of that, camo and lace. Loft has some really amazing sweatshirts out right now that you can dress up or dress down, I think they are perfect for work, an evening out or casual weekend. This olive green lace is one of my favorites that I bought for this fall. You can pair it with boyfriend jeans, a cute skirt or black pants as I show here. I also love the added pop of the camo print shoes, it really brings a unique and funky style to this outfit.

Save A Swim for Me High Waisted Bikini's

Last year when I was diagnosed with colon cancer and had my colon removed, I had to live with an ileostomy for 5 months. I had the ileostomy over the entire summer and since my husband and I own a boat I was dreading finding a swim suit that was still cute but would hide my ostomy. The answer to my prayers came in a high waisted bikini, I wore them all summer and ended up falling in love with them. I adore anything vintage and you can add this one to the list. Here is a picture of me in my High Waisted Bikini from Urban Outfitters last summer.

This exact swim suit is no longer in stock, but I wanted to show you a couple other options. These are great for my fellow girls with ostomies, but I think they really flatter any body type.  I love how so many people are picking up on this trend this summer, including AE and Victorias Secret, I must have started something  ;)

Here are a couple styles I love for this summer. Also being that it is the end of the season a lot of these are on super sale!! I bought the 3rd one this spring and wear it with a navy bandeau from Target top so cute!!
