Beach Style

My niece took these photos of me about a week ago for the #CMBeach contest hosted by Club Monaco. I wanted to capture a favorite playful beach style with a twist as in wearing high-waisted black shorts with my bikini top. A simple, elegant look for the beach. Just recently, did I become a fan of wearing black to the beach. For some reason, I felt like a black suit didn't quite belong in the water, but I must say, I'm a big fan now. On most occasions though, I'll pull my jean shorts instead of these black ones over my bikini bottoms.J.
