Re: Swimsuit Poll
1) Do you wear a swimsuit or hide under clothes/cover-up on beach/pool outtings? I wear my swimsuit but when walking around or eating, I put the cover-up back on.
2) What style swimsuits do you wear? I only own bikinis (mostly triangle top or halters, some bandeaus even though they make my boobs like kind of weird). I'm thinking about getting some that offer some more coverage
3) Where do you usually shop for them? Target, VS, J Crew, Old Navy
4) Do you think it's ridiculous or fabulous to wear jewelry and heels with your swimsuit? Ridiculous!
5) What is your favorite beach? one of the beaches in Grenada
6) Random musings on this topic? I'm not feeling bikini ready this year so I'm debating a tankini. My friend and I were trying to decide if we should get some for our upcoming trip and stop fooling ourselves that we can pull off the bikinis.Adventures of A Girl and Her Apron
1) Do you wear a swimsuit or hide under clothes/cover-up on beach/pool outtings? Yes, unless I'm in the water. I just wear a loose dress/cover up.
2) What style swimsuits do you wear? Two pieces, I only wear string bikinis with a triangle top. I think one pieces actually make you look heavier. I would only wear a one piece if I had kids and had stretchmarks on my stomach.
3) Where do you usually shop for them? Almost exclusively Target, since I can buy them in separate pieces. I need an XL or XXL top, and a medium bottom. I very rarely ever wear a swimsuit, so I don't see the point in splurging on one from JCrew.
4) Do you think it's ridiculous or fabulous to wear jewelry and heels with your swimsuit? Unless you're a Kardashian, it's ridiculous.
5) What is your favorite beach? I don't really have one, but we are going on vacation to the Dominican Republic this fall, so I'm sure I'll love it there.
6) Random musings on this topic? Ladies that shave your bikini areas - make sure you don't have razor burn on the beach. It looks like you have an STD. So gross. I will be certain to get a bikini wax before my beach vacay to avoid this issue.
1) Do you wear a swimsuit or hide under clothes/cover-up on beach/pool outtings? i rock my swimsuit, but i always wear/bring a dress coverup, or shorts and a top because i feel ridiculous driving in a swimsuit...i'm convinced my car will break down if i don't have something on over it
2) What style swimsuits do you wear? halter top bikinis...even though i probably shouldn't. i've been eyeing a cute strapless one piece on target's website...but i'm always worried it won't be long enough, since i'm tall
3) Where do you usually shop for them? right now, all my suits are from victoria's secret...i've gotten them for less than $20 each over the last 2 summers
4) Do you think it's ridiculous or fabulous to wear jewelry and heels with your swimsuit? heels? ridiculous. but i do wear my wedding rings to the pool at my friend's house. not to the beach
5) What is your favorite beach? south beach was awesome for my bachelorette party, and destin is really nice...i haven't been to the beach in about 18 months, i keep telling DH we HAVE to go this summer!!
6) Random musings on this topic? i think i have backwards body dysmorphic disorder...i'm convinced i look way hotter in my swimsuit than i actually look when i see pictures. i'm also REALLY excited about not having to stress about tan lines this summer...no weddings means no strapless dresses means no worryMy Shopping Blog
1) Do you wear a swimsuit or hide under clothes/cover-up on beach/pool outtings? If I am trying to get a tan then I lay around in my swimsuit, if not I use a cover-up

My Shopping Blog

2) What style swimsuits do you wear? One pieces or tankini's, whatever I find that gives me enough chest support.
3) Where do you usually shop for them? Macy's or Sears/Lands End, usually in June or July when they are on sale. I was really surprised to see the quality of the Land's End suits.
4) Do you think it's ridiculous or fabulous to wear jewelry and heels with your swimsuit? If you're in Vegas at one of those hotel pools, sure, ride that fab/tacky train all the way. Otherwise it's ridic.
5) What is your favorite beach? I love the beaches at Hilton Head. Private beaches in Cartagena are pretty great too.
6) Random musings on this topic? Right now it looks like I won't have to worry too much about being in a suit at all this summer, unless DH convinces me to crash a local apartment pool.

2) What style swimsuits do you wear? One piece, v-neck/surplice top, empire waist w/ skirt

5) What is your favorite beach? I don't care for beaches, but the one we went to in Niteroi (near Rio) was lovely.
6) Random musings on this topic? I rarely go swimming and haven't bought a suit since 2007. At this point, I don't have a single suit to wear and don't feel like buying something "temporary," so I will just not visit a pool this year. No biggie - I didn't last year either.1) Do you wear a swimsuit or hide under clothes/cover-up on beach/pool outings? Swimsuit. I usually put on some shorts when hanging out (see below)
2) What style swimsuits do you wear? I have a mixture of bikinis and tankinis. Some halter, some string, some bandeau. I have one or two one-pieces that I really like and make me look skinny
Plus they are better for the lake when we're doing boat-sport type stuff!! I've come close enough to losing my bottoms falling off a tube or knee board to know better!
3) Where do you usually shop for them? Target, J Crew, Victoria's Secret
4) Do you think it's ridiculous or fabulous to wear jewelry and heels with your swimsuit? Ridiculous. My kind of beach is one where you are running around, swimming, and having fun. Not posing for paparazzi.
5) What is your favorite beach? St. George Island in FL
6) Random musings on this topic? In response to P&R, I'd just say that some of us get bumps from shaving OR waxing, soooooo, we're just screwed and have to wear shorts.1) Do you wear a swimsuit or hide under clothes/cover-up on beach/pool outtings? Swimsuit. I only wear my cover up when we're traveling back/forth from poolside or beach to the apt or hotel
2) What style swimsuits do you wear? generally a skirted 1-piece.
I'm not against a 2-piece, its just that I LOATHE halter-tops. I hate halter tan lines and its very hard to find bra-top pieces that aren't $90/piece that fit my top
3) Where do you usually shop for them? I've had luck with eBay, TJMaxx/Marshalls and the one above is Land's End. I might try one of those this summer
4) Do you think it's ridiculous or fabulous to wear jewelry and heels with your swimsuit? I agree wit hthe Khardashian comment above. Stoopid.
5) What is your favorite beach? I'm not sure I have one. I hate beaches with coarse sand, esp the ones that use crushed shells in the sand. OWIE. We did love St Maarten last time we were there, but we really enjoy a lot of the Eastern Caribbean islands overall.
6) Random musings on this topic? we actually plan on using the ILs neighborhood pool again this year over our Apt Coomplex pools. Theirs is always empty (wth, right?). I bought a papasan chair on Amazon for sitting in the water. It should arrive this week!
