I went SWIMSUIT SHOPPING!
That's right! During my lunch break, I drove to the nearby Kohls and dared the swimwear. Why? Well, for one - 50% off. For another...hubby and I fly out Friday night to Vegas, and I need something that fits decently for those hours I plan to lounge at the pool. (In the shade, with SPF30000, I swear!)
As always, I dreaded this. I'm not a size 6 - I have a daughter, some surgical scars, and an affinity for chocolate. Finding a CUTE swimsuit that fits well and covers my flaws - yeah, sure. If you hear the Mission Impossible theme playing, there's a reason.
So it should shock you as much as it shocked me, that I spent about 5 minutes in the dressing room, loved what I grabbed, and left the store smiling after 15 minutes. SMILING. 15 MINUTES.
What's the difference? Have I finally learned which styles suit my body? (Halter good, string bikini bottoms bad) Are my expectations lower - am I happy with a less cutting-edge, more mom-style suit? Or is it just that this year, FINALLY, they've created flattering AND cute suits for everybody.
Me - I'm voting for the last. Let's hope next year is more of the same!

OMG! Congratulations!!! I tend to buy a new bikini every year, and I never end up happy. They all look weird for some reason or another. I can't say I have EVER been done searching in under 15 minutes!!!
eeek....I so dread going there. Great for you for finding that perfect suit...it gives me hope :)
Exactly - total score! Plus, my hubby really, really liked it when I got home. Bonus!
