Beach vacations have always been my favorite. Give me sunshine, crashing waves and a good book, and I am set! Although my favorite beaches are along warmer bodies of water, the sandy coastline of Maine is definitely among my top 5. Last week’s beach of choice was called Footbridge Beach, and you literally had to cross a bridge on foot to get there. It was so gorgeous that I couldn’t help snapping some pictures from the bridge and the beach itself!
Speaking of snapping pictures, big thanks to my best friend (and vacation partner-in-crime) Elena for taking time away from her beach bliss to get these outfit photos for me! This romper coverup was the perfect piece to transition from beach to the rest of vacay life, and totally comfortable too.
I also decided that I might want to show off the (sexier than I’m used to) one-piece that I wore to the beach that day. Body confidence is not something that comes easily to me, and I wasn’t sure if I would actually publish any of the photos. I grew to my current height (a whopping 5’4″) at around 5th grade, and my curves came early too. There are pictures of me from summer camp, where I literally look like an awkward giant next to my appropriately tiny friends. But, over the years, I’ve grown into my body and tried my best to embrace what I have. That said, I definitely went hard at the gym to prepare for this beach vacation, and you know what? I felt great! So, give your body some love. It’s the only one you’ve got!

I love the beach too! I go up to Maine as well but am much farther north where the beaches are rocky, so I have actually never seen a sandy maine beach. You look gorgeous! I love the romper it looks great on you and the swimsuit as well!

Thanks so much, Sarah! I grew up with rocky beaches, and they definitely have their own charm…but feeling the sand between your toes is like no other!
I am honestly obsessed with the beach, always have been. Love your outfit, and the swimsuit too!
