Pool Day

One of the best things (ok, maybe THE best thing) about living in the south is the warm weather. After moving from Florida to Atlanta, Georgia, I was in for a major climate shock come winter, but honestly, it could be much worse and I am glad that I live in the south. I get to appreciate seasons, but don’t have to deal with the retched cold like all those brave northerners up there (I’m so sorry for your pain).
So now that it’s spring, it is really more like summer many days. We’ve seen weeks in the 80s with nothing but sunshine and I’d be silly not to spend a day or two at the pool. I mean, I work from home. Isn’t getting to spend the day outside one of the main perks of that? So I headed down to the pool last week for some sunshine and relaxation. P.S. I obvs wore SPF and you should too!
{ swimsuit: ℅ L*Space // top: ℅ Dex Clothing // shorts: Show Me Your Mumu ℅ Riffraff // shoes: ℅ Riffraff // sunglasses: ℅ Zero UV // bag: Blogger Swap gift from Kim Hall }
I wore my favorite swimsuit, threw on some coverup pieces and grabbed some lookbooks for my laidback pool day. What’s great about going on a weekday is that most people are out at work or school, so I had the whole pool area to myself. It was so nice!
What do you wear for a relaxing pool day?

I am loving this dressed up casual look for by the pool. It is very relaxed, but also super classy. Your shirt/cover up is beautiful! (That and those shoes are probably my favorite pieces! 😉 )

Those wedges are gorgeous! Such a beautiful color for the warmer months. Your cover up is also so chic! It’s the best when you get the area to yourself 🙂

I love living in the south! I don’t think I could live up north. It’s just too cold. I’m excited to have lots of pool and lake days this summer. Those shoes are absolutely fabulous!
May 19, 2014 @ 8:31 pm
OMG, same. I could never live up north! I’d be so sad all the time haha. Thank you!!

I love L*Space bathing suits! They have been my go-to for years… Love this relaxed look 🙂 I’m definitely craving a pool day.

I love the outfit but I could never wear shoes like that. You are always so cute!

Thank you!! These shoes are some of my faves. I have a thing for unique shoes! 🙂

Your cover up is beautiful! I found two amazing cover ups…one at Target and one at Marshall’s…for practically no money this season, and I can’t decide which one I love more. I swear half the fun in getting swim suit ready is picking out the perfect cover up for lounging poolside. Definitely adorbs!

Thank you!! I love that it’s just the right amount of sheer 🙂
May 20, 2014 @ 8:08 pm
I love pool days. Finding a cute cover up is always so hard!
May 23, 2014 @ 10:29 am
So true! I can’t believe I found two! haha 🙂

Thanks! Me too 🙂
May 20, 2014 @ 11:30 pm
love the cover up and shoes. I have a cute black cover up I love to wear but would love to try something lighter in color
May 23, 2014 @ 10:32 am
Yeah, I love bright, colorful cover ups, especially because my bathing suits tend to be solid.
May 20, 2014 @ 11:30 pm
My son and I are going to a pool party tomorrow and we are so excited. Being in my 9th month of pregnancy I was not sure what to wear, but found some bottoms that fit and a tank style top to wear. I just want to be comfortable and I will be.
Usually I wear a loose cover-up over my bikini and love to lounge in the sun with a good book and a cold drink.
But tomorrow will be about fun and frolic and getting wet!
May 23, 2014 @ 10:33 am
Both are fun pool days! I’m going down to Florida next week for my niece’s second birthday and we will definitely be frolicking by the pool! 🙂

Your tunic is darling!
May 23, 2014 @ 10:34 am
Thank you!!
May 21, 2014 @ 2:34 am
Oh my, how I wish I was enjoying a beautiful sunny day pool side right about now! Looks absolutely amazing. Those wedges are actually the same as a pair of Steve Madden’s I have, and they’re the comfiest pair of heels ever, huh!?
Loving your little blog space! Will be back!

Thank you so much!! My heels aren’t Steve Madden, but they are comfy! I love wedges for casual summer days! 🙂
May 21, 2014 @ 2:52 pm
Love the look! Those shoes are gorgeous and the swimsuit is very pretty.
May 23, 2014 @ 10:38 am
Thanks so much!! xo
May 22, 2014 @ 10:31 am
Love your shorts and top, and I love Atlanta, grew up there in Forest Park, south side of Hot Lanta, LOL, live in Oklahoma now, so we get way too much sun, but nothing like Florida, and I wish I could wear heels like the orange ones you have on.
May 23, 2014 @ 11:18 am
haha yeah it is already feeling like summer here, but yes, nothing like Florida! I’m going there next week though 🙂
May 23, 2014 @ 11:02 am
I would love to try a gladiator-style sandal. But my feet always seem to be too wide and, if I can even get the shoe on, the straps cut into my feet. I’ll have to see if I can find any in a wide size.
May 23, 2014 @ 11:29 am
These shoes are actually too wide for me, so maybe they would work for you!
May 23, 2014 @ 8:17 pm
love the pictures and LOVE the shirt! you’re so gorgeous! xoxo

May 27, 2014 @ 11:34 am
LOVE love your pool attire. I really need to get my stuff together and stop going to the pool hair up, no makeup!
May 27, 2014 @ 11:44 am
Thank you! It’s a fun opportunity to dress a way that I can’t in public! Haha 🙂
May 27, 2014 @ 6:28 pm
I really love those shoes. I’ve never heard of Riffraff before, are they big in the South?
May 29, 2014 @ 6:50 pm
Me too!! I don’t think they’re big in the south. They have a store in Arkansas and just opened one in Texas, but I think their main focus is online, so anyone can buy! 🙂
May 27, 2014 @ 9:11 pm
I absolutely love those shoes and the pool is so beautiful! Wonderful pictures! 🙂
May 29, 2014 @ 6:52 pm
Thank you so much!
