We are entering that time of year when all of the stores begin pushing out bathing suits and warmer weather is on everyone's mind! I used to be one of those people who would question those stores that sold bathing suits at the end of February, but that certainly isn't the case anymore. In high school, at the beginning of March... we would all begin our Spring Break regimen--and buying bathing suits were first on the list! Because Spring Break usually happens at the end of March, all those "spring breakers" snatch up the good suits by the time Summer rolls around. Being a big girl, shopping for bathing suits has always been a dreaded task, but after two summers of being left with the picked over "big-girl" selection... I learned that you have to compete with the "spring breakers" for the goods! SO BUY YOUR SUITS NOW!
I'm going to let you in on my swimsuit shopping secret... have 2 suits! Buy a cute one from Walmart, Target, or Old Navy and use that suit to wear when you're laying out, canoeing, or swimming in your overly chlorinated neighborhood pool! Use this suit as your fun, go-to swimsuit and know that it will last you about one Summer! Now, for the second suit... I suggest you invest in a swimsuit that makes you feel like a million bucks! Spend the extra $40 on a nicer, more flattering suit that's made of higher quality materials. This is the bathing suit you'll wear out when you're going somewhere nice or if you're going swimming in a more public setting! The more expensive bathing suits will tuck you in and smooth you out for that boost of confidence you'll need when stepping out this Summer!
Unfortunately, it's hard to find these swimsuits in local stores so I'm sending you to several online sites! Please, don't let online shopping scare you! Invest in a measuring tape and measure yourself properly to ensure that what you order will always be perfect for you (compare your measurements with the sizes listed in the size chart)! Keep in mind that swimsuits should be fitted so avoid ordering a bigger size.
