The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is going on right now blah blah blah, over it yet?
But yeah, as much as we’re genuinely LOVING this sneak peek into fall Nordstrom Anniversary Sale fashion picks, we’re not quite ready to let go of summer over here on The Mom Edit.
So, I interrupt this epic fall fashion sale to bring you: Rashguards.
And not just rashguards but some really great mix-and-match bikinis to go along with them. Now, I am not a bikini girl (and am insanely jealous of you sexy mama’s who are) but these rash guards give you the option to have the same sexy / flirty / surfer vibe without all that showing-your-skin business. And, they’re the perfect addition to play hard with the kids and protect yourself from the sun — two summer essentials in my book!
So, we’ve picked our top three rashguards, three bikini bottoms, and three bikini tops that all coordinate perfectly with each other. Pick any combination you want! It’s basically garanimals for grown-ups! Mix n’ match if you’re feeling adventurous or stick with our favorite pairings! If you’re like us, you’re already seeing summer slip through your fingers.

With my pale skin, rash guards are a must! Last year I had a long-sleeved one from JCrew, but found it too hot. This year I’m loving this “aqua sport zip-front” one from Land’s End: http://www.landsend.com/products/womens-aquasport-zip-front-rash-guard/id_277056
The zipper makes it easy to put on, you can decide how low you want to unzip it, it’s got a bit of a sporty vibe, and short sleeves are so much less hot.
I pair it with a high-rise bikini — keep the stretch marks and the pooch covered!
I just bought this scrunch rashguard from Athleta and it is amazing. Side shirring to hide the pooch + sleeveless to keep me cool = win! http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=489084012
