Yup. That is a picture of me at the beach in my new Lands' End bathing suit. On my blog. Which is on the Internet. Very daring of me, don't you think? Granted, it's not quite what you'd refer too as an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini...for reasons which I will leave to you to determine. This year, I realized that the suits I had were either too small, or too large. It's an annoying in-between zone. I could open a clothing store with the multiple sizes that are sitting in my closet. I purchased two bathing suit bottoms and three bathing suit tops, which means I can mix and match, which I love. I also love this particular suit--the pattern is really cute, the material comfortable, and it's great for swimming. It may not be itsy-bitsy--but it is polka dot, and pretty chic at that. Do you ever wonder why all of the bathing suits made for women in my market are so hideous? The prints on the average tankini are just bad. You know what I'm talking about. The only thing I'm not so crazy about with this suit is the ruching in the front of the skirt--it's a little too much. Overall, I am completely happy with my suits. I wish more brands would figure out that when a woman wants a little more fabric, that doesn't mean she wants any less style. Good job, Land's End.
