Welcome to Ask MBM, our completely unsolicited summer advice column.

Today’s question:

What are we leaving at home this summer?

Excellent question.

First, any swimsuit that needs constant adjustment.

If you have to pull it up, pull it down, retie it 10 times, check it, fix it, and ask your friend whether it still looks right, it has already taken too much from you. Leave it.

Next, shoes you cannot walk in.

A beautiful dinner reservation means very little if you are fighting for your life by the time the appetizers arrive. Leave them too. This is the summer to prioritize comfort.

We are also leaving overpacked suitcases.

You do not need seven personalities for a four-day trip. Choose pieces that can do more than one thing and let the accessories create the drama.

Most importantly, we are leaving behind the idea that your body needs to change before summer can begin.

Every BODY is a bikini body!

Love,
The MBM Team

P.S.  Some of the pieces we would absolutely pack are nearly gone. We would not wait too long. Find them [HERE]
