My personal favorite, the "Dominicana" Leopard Mesh Swimsuit - $158.00.

I don’t know about you.. but this is my absolute favorite time of the year and I’m OBSESSED with swimsuits. Like me, most of you are working on  your “beach body” but it feels good to know that there are still some plus size fashion designers that think we still deserve to have beautiful swimwear as well. I was checking out Monif C’s Swimwear 2012 collection and fell in love. Although I’m shedding the pounds, I’m NEVER going to be a skinny chick so it’s good to see Monif is on top of it with the swimwear. My birthday is coming up and I’m definitely looking forwardto heading to a beach and shimming into one of these sexy swimsuits.
