Where have you seen cute swim cover-ups?
I'm looking for a couple cute swim cover-ups for an AI vacation...preferrably relatively cheap. I looked on Victoria's Secret and didn't see much (though I did get three bikini bottoms & two tops for about $50!!). I like the look of the "shorts rompers" or whatever they're called but can't find any for under $50. Any tips?

Re: Where have you seen cute swim cover-ups?
Although I love VS their prices are way to high ( unless I catch the semi annual sales).
I found that Target ( this time of year probably not though) was a good place to pick up a couple cute strapless sundresses. Not only are they "dressy" enough to wear out but they double as a cover up. I also tend to just wear a pair of walking shorts over my bikini bottom if I'm wearing my tankini top instead of my bikini top. Not to mention, that can also double as an outfit (at least on an AI).
As you can tell I'm all about getting the most bang for my buck ( something that doubles as something else) and packing as little as possible.

I just bought this one from Macys.com and can't wait to wear it in Jamaica next month.
I was gonna rec the two suggestions above.
I was just at target last night and they have a large swimsuit/cover-up section already out (and I'm in DC, not some warm place). I didn't notice shorts specifically but lots of jersey-style cover-up/dresses that, like pp said, have a bonus of pulling double duty.
Also macy. L&T, Dillards, etc. may have some stuff online. Personally I prefer target as I can try stuff on.
Finally, if you have good thrift stores near you and are willing to shop there - try it. We have great ones here and since there's no "clearance of winter stuff" they just straight into the next season.
jcrew always has great beach stuff.
also i have purchased a lot of mine on the beach.
you can also just get a plain knit skirt and wear a tank top with it. it doesn't have to be an official cover up.
