on that note.

here are a few swimsuits i love love love, but just aren't right for my body (and my budget). i can't fit a top that doesn't tie in the back. so sad, because these really knock my socks off.

splish splash.

the scorching heat the past few days has reminded me that i desperately need a new swimsuit. this is embarrassing but true - i have had the same swimsuit since my senior year of high school! 7 years and only one swimsuit option? craziness. the upside is that it still fits, but let's be honest, i still an upgrade. i love retro one-pieces, but i find it hard to get the right fit for my body with that style. i think simple is best for me.
these have caught my eye...
