For me to even be talking about bikini confidence is crazy. If you had asked me a couple of months ago, I probably would have been like, 'what are you talking about...' so it's actually huge for me to even feel okay with putting a bikini on.

Not one person would admit that they didn't want me to wear a bikini because of their aesthetic preference - a preference that is shaped by our cultural perceptions of what is and isn't beautiful.

A girl in a bikini is like having a loaded pistol on your coffee table - There's nothing wrong with them, but it's hard to stop thinking about it.

I've always been kind of uncomfortable just on the beach in a swimsuit. I'm never my most confident in a bikini on the beach, especially when you know people are looking at you, and they expect one thing because of what they see in the magazines, and you might not look that way. It's always been a scary thing for me.

It's really intimidating to go on the beach in a bikini.

I don't even think twice about wearing a swimsuit because it's always been a part of my lifestyle.

I'm completely bathing suit-obsessed, and I love lurking on Instagram looking for the best bikinis.

For me, fashion means dare. I don't mind wearing a bikini. I am okay with it.
