Aqua Swimwear makes a splash with fab Mommy and Me swimsuits

I have to admit that ever since my mom made those floor length blue gingham matching gowns for me and herself, circa 1978, I have not been a huge fan of mother-daughter sets. So when I first heard about matching mother/daughter swimsuits by Aqua Swimwear, I was skeptical. But I've been won over!

Aqua Swimwear really rose (or should I say floated?) to the occasion and created a collection that any mom and daughter would be proud to sport. Designer Natalie Walker was inspired by her own daughter, and left behind a long history with large companies like Speedo, Nautica and Jones NY, to create her own line.

Suits are cut age appropriately, rather than identically. It is the prints that match up. A good thing since my 6 yr old and I can hardly pull off the same bikini. The suits are fully lined, the fabric is extremely high quality (made to last) and the colorful, gorgeous, graphic prints will make you long for an excuse to take an extended trip to somewhere sunny. Both kids and moms can also choose from coordinated coverup skirts, tees and accessories.

Even though swimsuit shopping usually has me totally anxiety riddled, for once I am ok with it. As long as there is no blue gingham involved
