This March, I'm loving pretty dresses, lightweight sweaters, and versatile handbags. Guess what? I found everything I could possibly want this month on sale.

Girl, You Better Believe That All 6 of Us Are Wearing the Same Size Swimsuit

Imagine a single swimsuit that fits five different sizes. It seems pretty impossible, right? That the six women before you - all of whom have gorgeous, unique figures - are wearing the same size? Girl, you better believe it. And look at us! Do we seem uncomfortable or tense; worried at all that we should've looked in the mirror once more before stepping outside? (S/O to Glamsquad for the hair and makeup!) Nope. That's because sustainable company Youswim has literally done the unthinkable: invented a universally flattering one-piece and two bikini silhouettes that "adapt to fit you and your body's natural state of flux."

The ribbed fabric, made from European-sourced nylon and elastane, stretches in all directions and hugs our curves, though the material is still totally breathable. It kind of feels like magic when you first try it on, because it fits sizes 2 through 10, offering complete coverage. The Aplomb design comes in a One-Piece, High Waist Two-Piece, and Standard Waist Two-Piece, with all three retailing for $129. We certainly felt the miracle of these beautiful swimsuits take hold when we were trying them on all alone, but it was when we got together and started posing for pictures - visually styled by resident senior social media editor Fabiola Lara - that we really got the message about body diversity.

Youswim isn't just a revolutionary label that has a single goal to amaze people with its technology - it's an idea that has unified women by encouraging us to accept our bodies not just in one state but in many. As we grow, age, and welcome changes, this article of clothing will come with us, and it's kind of cool that it'll come with all of our friends on their own journeys, too. Read on to see and hear about our experience in Youswim, which you'll probably find looks a lot like a bonding session between women who just feel comfortable in their skin, and join us in celebrating well-made swimwear that literally makes us want to belt out Shania Twain's "Man! I Feel Like a Woman."

"Bouquet Dressing" Is the Spring 2020 Trend of Mixing Florals, and You'll See It Everywhere

For Spring 2020, one floral print just isn't enough. I'm seeing a major surge in clothes that combine multiple floral patterns in one piece. I was telling my fellow editors how much I love the look, but I wasn't sure what to call it. Then, one coworker shouted, "It's bouquet dressing!" I told her she's a genius. If you can put flowers together in a vase, why not do it in fashion? So get ready for "bouquet dressing" to be everywhere in the coming months.

As you can see in the photo, I have already quickly jumped on this springy trend - I am a shopping editor, after all. I'll take any excuse to buy something new. Ahead, shop my dress and many more pieces that will get you in the seasonal spirit. Flower power is taking on a whole new meaning.

From Splurges to Steals, Our Editors Break Down the Best Things to Buy For March

When it comes to shopping, we like to keep it real with you. As editors, we see a lot of new It items on the street at Fashion Week, followed up by glossy press releases that bounce into our inbox - and these might as well be big, flashy ads. "I need that!" we repeat to each other from our desks, all day long. We love fashion, and collecting new items for our closet in the name of Spring just feels right. But we're not always splurging on big ticket items - especially since we're working together to adopt a more sustainable method of shopping by recycling our clothes.

I know it seems like everyone and their mother owns the Bottega Veneta pouch at this point, but for one major purchase like that, we're also saving by collecting essentials from more affordable brands. Personally, I love Hailey Bieber's Bottega mules, but if I'm investing in those, I'm going to save on an oversize blazer and scope out the likes of Mango, Reformation, or SHEIN for such an easy basic. Ahead, you'll be able to brush up on the rest of my team's tactics. Find out what clothes and accessories we've bought that are total steals, and also learn about the quality made pieces we feel really good about shelling out some extra cash for.
