...please dont shine down too hard on me now!

Don’t think I’m crazy…but its time to start buying (not only thinking) about your son or daughter’s beach/pool wardrobe. You don’t want to wait too long to buy their swimsuits and rash guards because the cute and decently-priced options tend to sell out sooner than we’d like. Below are some of my top picks – I stuck to neutrals in this post to make it easy when pairing with swim trunks/bikini bottoms/bathing suits , but you must know that most of these sites have other whimsical options that would be really fun…

Gap Kids Dot Rash Guard Two-Piece, $22.95-

Lands End Boys’ Long-Sleeve Hooded Rash Guard, $28-

Sunuva Girls Rash Vest, $59.09-

Lands End Boys’ Long-Sleeve Solid Rash Guard, $24-

LL Bean Girls’ Sun-and-Surf Shirt, Long-Sleeve, $26.95-

Sunuva Boys Scuba Rash Vest, $23.33-

Sunuva Girls Mexicana Rash Vest, $59.09-

Old Navy Girls Raglan-Sleeve Rash Guard, $14-

Crewcuts Boys’ Stripe Rash Guard, $39.50-

One more tidbit...Not sure if you've heard of Snappy-Suits, but if you have a child in diapers during warmer months this brand is what you need. Such a simple concept and I've been racking my brain to understand WHY other brands don't design baby + toddler swimsuits with snaps?!
