new swimsuit alert
i spend a lot of time in water. this is mainly bc im a cancer who needs to swim, soak, shower and/or take a luxurious bath every day, but i’ve also been phasing myself out of running and into swimming/long walks lately (easier on the knees!), which means that back when i lived in austin, Land of Free or Cheap Pools, i was heading to big stacy neighborhood pool or barton springs or the north austin ymca a few times a week.
i haven’t bought clothes impulsively in a minute (apart from the hot-ass dia & co dress i got for the very fun trip rax and i took to chicago last weekend for the james beard awards), but i got paid today. cue browsing ganni sale, cue ordering something pink:
ganni graphic butterfly swimsuit, half off at 97.50
this is more than i usually spend on swimwear (btw while im here, can’t say enough good things about aerie’s plus-size options, although i wish they went up even higher, just like i do with most brands), but LOOK HOW CUTE! i feel like it will also work as just….a shirt, under pants, one that gives me the option to go to echo deep pool (in la, where i now live, bee tee dubs) and knock out some laps after a hang w friends.
rax and i are going to be in NYC for most of july, and i am SO excited to wear this suit to riis with my ganni sandals and pink sunglasses from passport vintage, bc i need to be the most monochromatic dyke at the beach for some reason. until then, catch me wearing this bad boy to smoke joints in the backyard.
currently watching: never have i ever (i love you devi vishwakumar)
currently listening to: so much hyperpop
currently excited about: a big story i wrote about queer and trans fertility and family-making that is due to drop next week :)
currently proud of: my bf for going straight from their first james beard awards to palm desert to teach their low-residency mfa course (which happens to come with a resort stay that i am availing myself of big time, as this is being written from a big white hotel bed)
xoxo,
