Swim Drama...

With the cruise coming up, I am on the hunt for a bathing suit.  I have such a love/hate relationship with swimsuit shopping (mostly hate) but when I find a suit I love it's a great feeling!!  So I am asking all you ladies do you have any brands you love?  Suits you have tried on and love?  I found a few I like it and want to ask you opinion!

Cute I love the dots, but not the best picture.


I really like the idea of this but am not sure how it would look on.


The little ruffle is so cute, but is it too...
"you are not 15 lady, Coldwater Creek is over there!"?


I like this and how classic it is, it also has great reviews now: is it too matronly? be honest!

  1. I love, LOVE the last one! I think the ones with the little skirt-ish bottoms are much more matronly. That purple one is so cute and looks like it would be very flattering.

  3. I love every single one of those. The ruching on the last one is my favorite. Have you checked Lime Ricki Swimwear? They specialize in modest, trendy swimsuits! I have adored this one:

  4. All of them are very cute! For the past couple of years I have gotten my bathing suits at Target! Not the flashy patterned string bikini ones that look better on a 12 year old, but the nice solid patterned ones that you can mix and match! They fit very well, are cheap and you can buy lots to have lots of options! Highly recommend!

  5. My favorite is the last one. I don't think it looks matronly at all. I love the purple color too. I usually try to get my bathing suits at the end of the season on super sale. Last year my swimsuit came from JCPenney and I love it.

  6. I like pic 1 and 4 the best. Every year I dread trying to find something that is cute AND doesn't make me feel exposed!! I normally end up going with Target or Old Navy mix & match pieces.

  8. I think they are all super cute! Last year I bought a bunch of new suits since we joined the pool and I had good luck with Athleta, Lands End Canvas and Target! I hope you find a couple you love to take on the cruise with you!

  9. Ok - I just clicked on a couple of the links and realized the first suit is from Boden, I LOVE their prints like no other, but when I tried their swimwear the material wasn't supportive enough for me, especially up top - I love a suit that vacuum sucks me in...

    Also - LOVE the style of suit #2 but holy price tag - seriously, go to Target first before you spend two Anthro dresses worth!

  12. I like the first one - there's a similar suit over at J Crew (or maybe that is the J Crew suit?) that I am dying to get, but it's sold out in every size except 12 and 14. I'm hoping they restock soon!

  14. The purple one is very cute. Looks very flattering and not matronly at all!

    Lands End Canvas has some great deals on swimsuits right now (if you can find one in your size that you like).

  15. There is a great place in Provo called Billie Jo's dance wear. They will make you a custom swimsuit. They have different styles, so you choose one, and then you choose from a ton of fabrics. I bought mine there a few years ago, and it has never streched wierd or faded. I love it!

  17. So the second to last one I LOVE! And, as a 19 year old in Hawaii, I think I'm qualified to tell you that it's not too "15 year old" haha :)
