It's hot enough for a swimsuit, tanks & shorts. Not ready for swimsuit season? Wishing you could just cover up and still look great, be cool AND swim? You can. We are doing it! With the help of Shade Clothing, of course. Several weeks ago, we introduced you to this wonderful clothing company that started out online, but is now available to us locally through Shade's personal shopper,  Melanie Wright. Shade Clothing offers modest alternatives to today's trendiest styles. Their latest addition to their line is swimsuits and we are loving it! Having just had a baby, Buzz Creator Ashley Behn is feeling a little less than enthusiastic about putting on a swimsuit this year. However, the Shade swimsuits covered just what she wanted covered and made her feel "skinny" too! What woman doesn't love that?

*Left to right: Huntington red print, Laguna black, Newport aqua, and Huntington solid brown (bottoms $22.50, tops $24.50-$39.50).

Shade has also recently created a fabulous line of semi-formal/formal dresses. We're showing you 2 of our favorties. Modest enough for business or church, sexy enough for an evening out (Audrey (left) $299.99, Ferguson (right) $189.99.

New Everyday Tees, perfect staples to be worn alone or layered.

One of the most popular shirt styles for spring and summer is the Babydoll Tee. Looks great paired with skinny jeans or leggings. If you wear this much volume on top, you need to pair it with something more fitted on bottom. Babydoll tee, $24.50

Puckered Tee, $19.50. Gathers just at the shoulder. Very sweet and super soft!

Vintage Tee, $24.50. Crochet design at the top.
