Own! Triangl Swimwear

So, it's been a really long time since I posted and honestly, it's not even because I've been busy.  It's more because it's been a while since I've been inspired by fashion.  I'm not trying to sound snobby or anything, but I feel like things maybe haven't really suited my taste lately.  Not sure what it was, but I've finally been smitten again so here I am, writing to you!

Instagram is really an amazing place to get inspired by fashion.  People are so creative and you can find interesting things from all over the world.  That's how I discovered the brand, Triangl.  Their designs are so simple, but the colors are so awesome.

Why are they an "Own?"  Well, not only do I love EVERY single design they have, but they are also only $79-89.  Not per piece- for the whole bikini!  Top and bottom!  Yes!

Here are the ones that I bought:




The really cool thing about these bikinis is that they are made from neoprene (what wet suits are made from) and the material provides great padding/support.  They also allow you to order a different size top and bottom so that you can really get your size right, since not all women are the same size on top as they are on the bottom.

I toiled and toiled and toiled over what size to order, but I have to say that they are pretty true to size.  They aren't sold in any stores anywhere (though they are an Autralia-based brand), but their live chat on their site was incredibly helpful!  They were also EXTREMELY nice.  I was really impressed by their customer service.  Also, for something that was shipped half way across the world, I received my order in LESS THAN A WEEK.  That's right.  AMAZING.

I'm typically a US size 2 and I was a small across the board.  The bikinis fit great!  If you want to see a picture of me in it, follow me on Instagram: OgleObsessOwn

Now all I have to do is wait for warm weather, which sounds easy, but if you live in NYC, you know that I've got a long time to wait.  *Le sigh*

Have a great weekend!
