Ok I am starting to think about this depressing shopping trip. My pre pg suits are bikinis which I cannot get back into post baby atleast IMO. I also want to do a swim class with Colin pre pool opening. I am thinking that my solution to the whole bikini thing is to get a 1 piece bandeau top suit and a tankini. I plan to get a few b/c I will pretty much be at the pool all summer.
There is one on Jcrew.com that I love but it's online only and $80 bucks. Which is fine I want a good suit that will be flattering and hold up. SO, where do you/have you bought your bathing suits? How much do you usually spend? I will look in target too b/c my mat bathing suit from there last year was great. I just want to feel like I look good this summer post baby since I will be at the pool A LOT. I have never cared this much but it's kind of depressing that I can't just resume the use of my cute pre-baby suits so I am feeling like I will never have a cute suit again b/c of the shift in style....
Re: Bathing Suits....
I had to get a swimsuit when Maja was 5 weeks old and I went to that store at Lenox (Swim'n'sport or something like that) and I picked out a tankini... covers my butt stretch marks and the top covers my tiger stripe (aka linea negra). I did it while in Atlanta the first time
Anyway, I wanted to get something that was really nice so I wouldn't have to feel crappy anout a crappy body in a crappy outfit, KWIM? so by all means, go splurge on something cause that will give you a boost
YES!! I totally know what you mean, which is why I am definitely up for investing a little bit of $ if I have to. Also, b/c the "I had a baby..a year ago..." no longer seems like an excuse KWIM? LOL.
Lol... I'm sure you look waaay better then what you think you do!
Check that store out (I think they have other locations too)... back when I was there they had lots of sizes and styles
