Summer is just around the corner, and hopefully you’ve all been working on getting your body bathing suit ready!! What, you haven’t?? That is quite alright (I haven’t either)! If you’re in the market for a new bathing suit, though, then you’ve come to the right place. Below are some great suggestions for Summer 2010 – ready or not!

One-Piece

Nothing says sporty like the store L.L.Bean! I usually shop there for a snowboarding or a rain jacket…but this season they surprised me with the selection of bathing suits available. One great detail is that most of the designs come in misses, long and women’s sizes (check your desired suit for actual sizes available). This particular one was my favorite, though, because of the bright colors. I loved it so much that I got one to wear for The Babe’s swim lessons on Sundays. The fit is superb (even with my added baby weight) and it doesn’t make me look like a mom.
LL Bean – $59.95 (misses)

Two-Piece

When I think VS – I don’t think of a tankini bathing suit…but this is a (semi) family show… so I made an exception (just this once)! Mama is allowed to be sexy too… I know, I know… I said the “S” word! It is true, though… don’t sell yourself short, ladies! My favorite thing about the VS two-piece suits is that you purchase each piece separately. That is good for someone like me with a size 8 ba-donk-a-donk and a size 6 chest!!

Cover-Up

This cute white hoodie comes with orange or blue stripes.The great thing about this piece is that it can be worn on the beach – as a cover-up with that new bathing suit you bought (above) – or as a light jacket with a tank top and jeans.
GAP – $39.50

Comfort

What was that, you say?? You were invited to a Miami-inspired par-tay and you don’t have an outfit?! Okay…don’t panic!!! I SAID DON’T PANIC!! This outfit is PERFECT for such a party…or if you’re just hanging out with the family on the weekend. While it is pictured as off-the-shoulder, it can be worn on-the-shoulder as well! You’ll be asking for a drink with an umbrella and a pool boy to fan you wearing this great outfit!
Venus Swimwear – $25 (top); $33 (bottom)

Are you a one-piece, tankini, bikini, or cover up type of girl?
