WEEKLY STYLE LUST: SEA BY MONIF C.

WHAT'S GOT ME LUSTING? I am a complete sucker for tribal prints. I love print and color mixing with tribal designs. I also love that this week's lust is a plus sized brand because there is still a huge gap in the fashion world when it comes to cute and trendy items for full figured women. Depending on the sizing and cut of some items I am right on the cusp of regular women's sizing and plus sized clothing. The Havanna Swimsuit pictured here at the right is definitely my fave of this collection. 

WHY SHOULD YOU BE LUSTING? 

- DUH! Tribal prints (haha)

- Trendy cuts like high waist, cut-outs, and asymmetric designs

- Flattering for curvy figures

PURCHASING DEETS:

Price: $80 - $148
