Last week the hubby and I made a quick getaway to Las Vegas to celebrate our 20th wedding Anniversary. Since we’re not big into gambling, our daytime hours were spent mostly poolside at the fabulous Bellagio Pool.

Excited to wear my Lilly for Target kimono, but not wanting to flash my midsection in the casino on the way to the pool, here’s how I styled things up poolside.

poolside AskSuzanneBell.com

Eric Javits Fedora in black | Vince white ribbed tank | Joes denim shorts all via Nordstrom.com | Tote is Calypso for Target straw tote(years old) | Lilly for Target White Fringe Kimono (sold out)

Wearing this tank with denim shorts allowed me to comfortably make the long trek to the pool and later use my kimono as a cover up while poolside.

My Lilly kimono is sold out, so I rounded up a few other fringy options over at nordstrom.com

While looking for white kimono’s, I came across these two beautiful pieces at Nordstrom

HERE | HERE I couldn’t believe the price on this black and white Nordstrom label kimono. It is currently on backorder, but available so if you like it order NOW!

and at Target

white kimono - target - asksuzannebell.com

Lace kimono HERE | Target $24.99

While at Target I spotted this fun number

Poolside for less - target- asksuzannebell.com

Exhilaration tie shoulder tunic dress  $24.99 not online yet but I found this in store yesterday| Merona hat  | Merona Straw tote HERE (LOVE IT!)

along with this hat and bag to throw it all together!

Target bag - asksuzannebell.com

I also tried these fun lace pants on, which were featured last week over at YummoMummo, on my pal Melissa.

poolside for less - target - asksuzannebell.com

For me they were a bit high waisted, the one piece suit covers the high waist up a bit, but with a bikini and my short waist these didn’t quite work for me.

asksuzannebell.com

They did however look fantastic on Melissa,

who put together a fantastic post this week on swimwear and cover-ups. You’ll want to check it out HERE and for Part 2 HERE (fresh of the press today) where she covers swimsuits for every body type! Ladies, she’s saving you time and frustration, take a look, I love her picks!

I think these pants are a great option for beautiful pear or hourglass shaped ladies and at $19.99 they are a steal!

If a drop waist is more your thing, this off white crochet pair has a lower rise.

This pair did work on me, but wasn’t available in my size to try on for you all.

Another easy poolside look is a tunic.

I featured these tunics this past Wednesday on the blog – found at H&M.

H&M finds AskSuzanneBell.com

Crochet cover up and beach dress ($9.95) comes in 5 prints! Details can be found on this weeks post. Fab H&M finds HERE

My favorite suit?

Hands down this number from Robin Piccone

Robin Piccone

Yolanda Halter Top HERE

Why? It just fits. My girlfriends who love 2-piece suits favor this style as well, so if you are on the hunt for a simple great fitting 2 piece, give this a try. The best part of this suit is the top. If the bottom doesn’t fit, mix it up with another bottom.

Like this skirted hipster from La Blanca.

asksuzannebell.com

LaBlanca $69.00 HERE Nordstrom

I happen to love this bottom for the extra booty coverage.

A one piece more your thing?

Be sure to check out Melissa’s post HERE for options for all body types!

Come Friday, I’m all about relaxed jeans, flip flops and a soft cozy cardigan. And casual doesn’t need to be sloppy. You can easily elevate your casual looks by simply adding a few accessories like a leopard calf hair belt, a statement bag, sunnies or hair accessories.

Speaking of elevating, today’s topic on the blog includes a discussion on 5 easy pieces that will update what you already own, taking your looks this fall from meh to ✨fabulous✨!Link in bio to today’s all new #stylepost on the blog 🔝

Instagram post 2143199228003016189_1440303525 Shirtdress❤️ You gotta love a #shirtdress for its comfort and versatility 👗heck, I even wear mine with pants! I have a few in my wardrobe, but if you asked me which are my top two, it’d be the black one I’m wearing today from #bessandgeorgeclothing - the other would be my denim one.

What pieces do you consider to be wardrobe workhorses in your closet?
