What’s in my Bag: Going to the Pool

June 30, 2015

What's in My Pool Bag
clockwise from top left: pretzel pool float {save version available at 5 below} + old navy flip flops (on sale!) + h&m mesh overlay bikini top (on sale, size up! runs small) + donut pool float {save version available at 5 below} + kindle + kate spade new york water bottle + h&m sunglasses + h&m beach towel {sold out online, similar}
It seems like every summer my first trip to the pool is so chaotic; what do I bring, did I forget sunscreen, do I even really want to wear sunscreen, I don’t think I’m going to get thirsty but what if I do?

Eventually, I settle into the routine of going to the pool but it takes awhile; even though it’s been years I’m still so used to having a pool in my backyard and being able to just walk right into the house and get what I need.

This summer, I’ve been all about fun pool floats. Last week, I completed my summer trinity by picking up the popsicle and for now my food floats are complete. They’re kind of tacky, but also fun, colorful and a great conversation starter; all of the lifeguards at my pool know me as “food float girl.” I ain’t mad at it.

I have enough swim suits but something about the H&M top caught my eye while I was at the store a couple weeks ago and I couldn’t let it go. As I said above, it runs small so size up; I usually wear a small or extra small bikini top and am wearing a 6 in this one. The top has the zip closure in the front, has light padding and no underwire or pushup.  I opted out of buying the matching bottoms and instead just wear a solid black bottom I have from Target.

While my pool has vending machines, I really, really am slowly but surely trying to work on my daily water intake. This is certainly something I could make a stronger effort at, but I try to take a water bottle with me everywhere.

What’s in your beach/pool bag this summer?

xo, Nicole
