The Black Milk bones swimsuit and I have had quite a long history. I wanted it immediately, obviously, but I already had the bones leggings - so I left it alone. Since then, every time I've made an order, the swimsuit has always been top of my wish list, but due to limited funds, I always reasoned myself out of buying it when coming to that crushing prioritising phase of the checkout. You know, where you have to realistically break down what you want from what you can afford. This time I ordered it: my general rule is that if you can't stop thinking about something, then that something is for you.

My main plan is to wear it under slashed out tees as a peek-a-boo layer underneath, but when it arrived I knew I was going to have to try wearing it in the most basic of outfits, mostly out of respect for it's boldness. In fact, I'm not even sure if this can be classed as an outfit, but never mind. I kept my enormous and very heavy parka over the top to prevent contracting pneumonia, and made the most of the sunshine to use one of our favourite secluded photography locations. The bones swimsuit is finally mine, and I love it.

I adore the confidence and attitude of this set, it's great. Also, I'm going to start running or something because you look amazing, and if I'm going to invest in a blackmilk piece I want to look as good in it, lol.

I remember when you first posted yourself wearing leggings as pants and you didn't like shorts that much and now boom, tights and a swimsuit, lol.

I just love everything about this outfit from the styling and your makeup to the tights, great job even if it's not technically an 'outfit' it definitely has an editorial feel for me.
