Cossies. Rashies. Chrissie! As we head into the hot summer holidays, I thought we'd focus on protecting our skin as we go about enjoying our beach and pool days.

Cossies. Rashies. Chrissie!

As we head into the hot summer holidays, I thought we'd focus on protecting our skin as we go about enjoying our beach and pool days.

It will be Cover-Up month but for this Chrissie edition, the focus is on Cossies with Short Sleeves! One Piece and a Bikini Top too.

Here are 6 Fab Short Sleeved Swimmers ranging from cap sleeves to 1/2 sleeves. Find them in the links below. I've done Product Review Videos for you about them as well so make sure you watch those as well for extra information - inside and out.

6 Short Sleeved Swimmers:

1. V Neck Frill Sleeve One Piece from Capriosca Swimwear.
A relatively NEW style this cossie is fabulous for those needing more length from their cossie.

2. Zip UP Frill Sleeve One Piece from Capriosca Swimwear
This hugely popular style comes in loads of print and plain options in this one so here are a few for you:

3. Tie Front One Piece from Capriosca Swimwear is a brilliant style with its short sleeve and lace up front for a variable neckline and amount of decolletage coverage.


  • NEW in the Montego print - a vibrant, deep floral print that goes up to a 26 and in

  • Black

4. Frill Sleeve One Piece from Genevieve Swimwear is especially brilliant for Triangles and Diamonds with its dark bottom and printed top with sleeves to visually widen. In quite a few prints. Here are a couple. AND every time you shop from us with Genevieve you get 10% off! Use the code S&S10 at the checkout to claim it.

Remember too that all Genevieve swimmers and rashies are pool tough Chlorine Resistant!

5. Pink Petals Short Sleeve One Piece
NEW from Capriosca Swimwear is this 1/2 sleeve one piece with a zip-up front and waistband detail.

6. Wrap Crop Bikini Top
A bikini top that offers back coverage and shoulder coverage too. Who'd thought? The team from Capriosca thought it. It's a style that's been around for some time.


  • This year it's in the gorgeous Kokomo print.

There is a matching High Waisted Pant in Kokomo to wear with it too.

Fit Tip Of The Week
Getting into sleeved cossies with a zip can be challenging if you have a 'tricky' shoulder or scarring across your top half. Consider a sleeved style without a zip if that sounds like it could be a problem for you. Remember, a wet cossie is harder to get off than a dry one!

-----------------

BEYOND THE SHOP: We shall be discussing in our succeeding blogs about Disembodiment. How well do you know your body? Does it feel like it's at one with you? A fascinating topic that again, goes to the heart of feeling body confident. Watch out for it.

-------------

Go out and make memories that matter with those who matter the most. Don't hold back. Don't hide. Be front and centre IN those photos, not taking them. When you look back in years to come, and when they look back too, you will regret it if you're not in them, shining brightly.

Take care. Stay safe. Love with all your heart.
