Swim Suits

V&G101808

I know some of you ladies are still battling the frigid winter temperatures, so please don't hate me for asking this!

DH and I plan on taking LO to the beach before the month is up but my old bikinis WILL NOT DO! This stupid linea negra has not gone away and I haven't been able to get rid of my little pooch either so I'm in the market for a cute one-piece.

Does anyone have or seen a fabulous one piece swim suit?  I plan on hitting up Target later this week but the one I fell in love with isn't available online or in stores in my size

My back up plan is to wear this guy:

LEMSA

I'm putting M in swimming lessons so I need one too. Sigh.

I was just gonna get a plain ol one piece, plain black. If I was feeling risky, a tankini.

I have this suit (in an older print): https://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/swim/patternsandprints/PRDOVR~A1567/A1567.jsp

I love it. The top is "swingy" so it kind of floats away from the tummy - unless it's wet.

Cosmic+Love

Buuuurp.

Cosmic+Love

So many burps.

It's snowing like a motherfucker here so I'm not answering your question. Except to say that you are going to look bangin' in that culotte suit!

I just hope I don't offend anyone by showing off so much leg.

I need to get one soon too.  I found a few Ralph Lauren ones I like, but I am afraid to fork out the money. I just want something simple but not too boring and that will last a few years.   I seriously need to find time to exercise.

I got this right before I got ku'd..I need to try it on to see if it still fits. I'm betting the boob area is going to be an issue though

I was thinking about wearing my old 2 pieces and have DS around. If anybody wants to say anything about my pooch, they can suck it and see how cute DS is.

Same here @Lemsa, LO starts swim lessons at the end of this month so I need to get something modest.

I've seen some nice suits on Zulily, but ordering one from them makes me nervous because you can't return if it doesn't fit.

I will probably be using my maternity tankini top and hopefully pre pregnancy bottoms. The top will just look ruched (sp?) now.

Have you thought about rocking something red? I always think a one-piece in red looks cool:

That is CUTE! But wow that's a lot of money for a bathing suit  :-/

I ordered this one it's super cute and covers it all up. Hasn't arrived yet though so not sure of the quality.

I also bought this one while I was pregnant... it was super cute over the bump and I has been good for swimming with LO now too.

edit to add second example

If you're not opposed to walmart there's this one

They don't have my size, but I love this and the price.

I was just thinking about asking this last night. I ordered 2 monokinis from target.com and they look absolutely disgusting. I think I needs real one piece which are kind of hard to find without spending tons of money. I found a few options at modcloth.com and swimspot.com

I think I may order these 2

Just a word of warning to any moms who used to have smaller boobs pre pregnancy and now get to join the big breast club...be carefully with halter tops. I love the way the look, but if they are well structure your neck may be killing you by the end of the day.

I'm just really jealous of this. My boobs did the opposite post pregnancy and after breast feeding. I'm pretty sure they're smaller than before. That's ok, just more money Victoria secret gets from me.

I plan to go the monokini route this summer. You try VS?

I'm too chicken to access VS while on my work computer, lol.  I need to find time to search while I'm at home or while I pump and search on my phone.

Monokinis look terrible on me.  I think I'm too wide for them?

lkobriant

No help here mine come from Target or ON and are similar to the one @WildRumpus‌ posted. But no stripes! Good Lord I'd look like a blimp with those stripes!!

I hate wearing a one piece. I don't like my tummy feeling hot and sweaty at the beach. I'm wearing a bikini and I don't care about my gut showing and I have thunder thighs

These are both adorable! I have yet to buy a swimsuit but I need to soon! Just one thought on the strapless suit....would you be worried about LO pulling it down? My LO is ALWAYS grabbing my shirts and pulling them down. I love strapless but I was thinking it might not be the best option for this year.

ashleyamberRN

The monokini looked disgusting on me. Just accentuated my love handles and pushed down my boobs. @v&g I'll have to let you know how the chevron one turns out, it should be here Monday

Umm, our babies were born a year and a half ago. So, thanks? You're super late to the party.
