Bathing suit shopping success! (pic)

[CheleLynn45 615]

We are heading to FL in May to visit family and when we are there we live outside by their pool or at the beach. So I knew I needed a new bathing suit. So I started shopping in April. Ordering a bunch off of Lane Bryant, Avenue and Lands End. I also bought one top at Target.

Well I found a top and bottom and that will work for me. The top I got at Target and is a size 20, and the bottoms (my favorite part) is a size 18 and has an extra piece that goes up to right below my bustline to help hold in my tummy area is from Lands End. I feel pretty good in it and I really like the way it feels. Covers what needs to be covered (my belly and upper thighs) but still looks cute. I have a lot of returning to do but I am just glad to have found a suit!!

I don't think I look fantastic but I feel comfortable and for the size I am now I'm pretty happy with how it looks!!

You look great!!! I'm going to search online for that bottom now!

Thanks so much everyone!

You look great!!! I'm going to search online for that bottom now!

Lands End carries two skirts with a higher waist and I saw they have a regular swim bottom with the higher waist. The one I have with the little slit on it is a perfect length for me at 5'4". The other skirted one was a teeny bit longer.

I love the pattern on the top.

I was so happy when tankinis became a thing!

Thanks again Everyone! Just to not be dreading putting on a swimsuit is an amazing feeling.

I love the pattern on the top.

I was so happy when tankinis became a thing!

I got the top at Target!! They had quite a few cute ones. I was so surprised it had enough support in the top. I had been looking at Lane Bryant swim tops cause a lot of them come with a built in bra to help hold my ladies up. But I was so happy to be able to get this one at Target since I splurged and got the bottoms at Lands End. Kept my bathing suit purchase under $100!! Woo Hoo!! Which is great since it won't fit me next year!
