While browsing through the first day of Intervention’s pictures I came to one conclusion… 80% of the people in the pictures should not be in bikinis. I bet some of you are thinking, hmm what is Intervention? Well, Intervention is San Diego’s version of the Rehab pool party at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas…  A huge pool party that the Hard Rock here in San Diego throws all Summer long. The first party was last Sunday and I just went through all the pics… yikes. Almost every single person in the pics was either pale or out of shape, and considering it is a social, “look at me” type of pool party, it just doesn’t make sense why some of these people are half naked when they shouldn’t be. I guess everyone missed my “Start Primping NOW” post which went over all the steps needed before baring it all at this Summer’s pool parties

Not sure what that bow tie is doing around her neck? Or the lei? Huh?

The girl in the white did it right tho. In shape, tan, cute bikini and cover up. Trying to be cute but not overly.

Hey, I’m not saying everyone has to be in perfect shape, or perfectly tan, but why make yourself look soooo bad, in the unforgiving sunlight, when there are ways around it? Besides, no one even goes in the pool, (except drunk guys needing to pee) so there really is no reason to be in your bikini in the first place, it’s not that hot.

So I figured, instead of feeling the pressure to bare it all at these kewl Summer pool parties, lets go over a few good alternative options together. And before you email me telling me I’m fat, ugly, and superficial just know I’m: 1. Not telling out of shape, pale people they’re not allowed to layout or have fun, it’s just the “scene spot” people go to be seen , you know a human car show. Don’t bring your bashed in, rim-less Miata to the car show. and 2. I am no where near pool party shape either, but that is why you didn’t see me in a bikini at opening day of Intervention. Shh… I just want everyone looking their best.

A few great alternatives to bikini’s…

1. Cute sundresses- I love sundresses, especially in the Summer. This Aloha Dress from Lulus.com would be super cute for a Summery day. Pair it up with some cute gold flats, gold bangles and earrings and you’re good to go.

2. Jumpsuits. I posted all about these 2 weeks ago, jumpsuits are the perfect outfit for a daytime pool party. Dress them up with heels or down with fancy flats. This basic black romper is super cute!

3. Shorts & a flowy top/tank. Now this look is tricky, I won’t sport shorts unless I am tanned and toned, so if you are sportin short shorts, tan tan tan and tone! Spray tan of course, no one likes pale legs

All the above are great outfit options, now to shop!
