Icing on the Cake: Lingerie Accessories ~ Part 7: Swimwear Cover Ups

The Versatile Summer Essential!

A good tunic is a "must-have" for summer. Not only does it keep you cooler during the day but also provides versatility in your wardrobe. A fun trip to the beach can quickly get ruined when facing a scorching sun burn. With the need for sunblock and skin protection, a cover up is practical preventative solution to sun burn and a fashionable summer accessory!
