My third instalment of my weekly posts: Wishlist Wednesdays (I know I've taken this alliteration thing too far!)
I'm going on holiday in a little over a month and am in desperate need of some new swimwear. I'm not the smallest girl in the world and so do not want a skimpy bikini that would leave absolutely nothing to the imagination. That lead me on a hunt looking for as many swimsuits and high waisted bikinis (that aren't ridiculously expensive or horrifically frumpy). I had to look at ASOS and managed to add almost £200 of swimwear to my basket. How am I going to choose?!
ASOS CURVE Highwaisted Bikini Pant in Wide Stripe: I'm not going to lie - I like a Beetlejuice stripe. River Island released a very similar bikini earlier in the year and it sold out before I could buy it. Now ASOS have got it in both their CURVE and original ranges and I'm in love. It is a bikini, but the bottoms are high enough waisted that hopefully only a few inches of stomach on show - perfect. The set is £32 - It's pricey but I'm tempted.
ASOS CURVE Highwaisted Bikini Pant: How beautiful is that colour? The ruching should hide a multitude of sins and the dark red would hopefully not make me look like a tomato if I get burnt. This one is only £28 and is also available in black. I know Matalan do a pair of bikini bottoms very similar although I don't think they are as high waisted. I might have to have a look.
ASOS Cupped Stripe Bandeau Swimsuit: Yep, more Beetlejuice stripes. I don't know if it looks more referee (but I could try and work that). The vertical stripes should hopefully be pretty slimming it has a structured bust which would make me feel a lot more comfortable. For £24 it is slightly more affordable compared to my other picks but just as nice.
ASOS Cupped Mesh Insert Bandeau Swimsuit: I don't know if it's obvious that I like black swimwear. This is a simple black swimsuit but the mesh detailing makes it that bit more special. It's a bit revealing but in all the right places. At £28 it isn't a bad price - but I don't know.
ASOS Textured Square High Waisted Bikini Pant: How lovely is the detailing? They are plain but I love the square texture. They don't have the top in my size but I do like the bottoms. So cute!
ASOS Caged Moulded Triangle Bikini Top: I am loving caged bikini's at the moment. Unfortunately the bottoms are teeny weeny but as the top is black, hopefully any high waisted bottom will match. It's a little revealing and would give very strange tan lines but I love it none the less! A girl can wish.
So that's my ASOS swimwear wish list. They have such a wide selection for relatively affordable prices. Sure, you can get much cheaper swimwear but it's not always nearly as lovely.
I just cannot decide which set to get (if any!?). Have you ever had ASOS swimwear? Do you have as many issues as me getting swimwear? Let me know!

There is so much to choose from on the high street - I don't even know where to start!
DeleteI don't shop in ASOS often as we don't have it here in Croatia but I love it. All of the swimwear you chose are amazing! I have to buy one for this summer so the post sure helps a lot :)

I'm loving the fact so many are about this year, ASOS, Topshop, New Look and H&M have got them in. There are too many bikinis and not enough time to book holidays to wear them!
DeleteThe wide stripe bikini is stunning! xx
