Swimsuit Search 2009...So It Begins!

I start looking for the perfect bathing suit(s) ridiculously early - no really, I tried on a suit at Old Navy the last week of January. There's just something about a pretty, brightly colored swimsuit that makes the winter seem not-quite-so-long. {Not like it's that long anyway, it was 80 degrees in Dallas last week...but I digress}.

Here are some of the suits that caught my eye this week...

Ralph Lauren - loving the little skirt on the bottoms!

Tommy Bahama - the bow, of course, pushes this over the edge of cuteness.



Old Navy - Newlywed Husband would totally call me Daisy Mae if I wore gingham. Guess what? I don't care. They're cute.



Old Navy -Hmmm...does this swimsuit remind you of a certain designer...one whose name starts with 'M' and ends with 'issoni'?

J Crew - Ruffles make an appearance, yet again. Newlywed Husband is staunchly against me wearing a one piece, but fashion may take precedence in this particular case.

Trina Turk - Hello color! Loving the neckline on this swimsuit as well, although it's quite possibly conducive to some strange tan lines :)

Where is your favorite place to swimsuit shop? Are you a one-piece or two-piece kind of girl?

I heart the two pieces...and I like Target! :) I like that you can buy separates...I totally different sizes on my top and bottom!

oooo...ahhhh... it's 19 degrees here right now, so I'm appreciating the summer thoughts. I'm usually a 2 piece kinda girl, but I'm also on a search for a sexy one piece. I just want the right one.

I love the Ralph Lauren - the skirt type bottom is adorable! I also think the Tommy Bahama bikini is pretty classy (and way less intimidating to this one-piece girl). I'm not big into bikins (nor do I think I currently have the body for) and I love the one-piece suits at J. Crew!!! I think if we were alone my hubby would like a bikini, but he loves my modesty when we are around others. I don't like other guys looking at me, and I don't think he does either! If I had an awesome body though, I might like to try a bikini again. We'll see. Honestly , I don't have too many opportunities to wear a swimsuit :)

I loathe bathing suit shopping in general--loved in when I was a size 00 college freshman though! Ohh how things have changed. I'm an Everything But Water girl because they have a huge selection and are great for mix and match. I'm a two piece gal, but, I like to keep the booty covered in the boy short bottoms.
