spotted: perfect bathing suit

Carmen Marc Valvo Twisted Bandeau
bloomingdales. $158.00

i can't imagine this not looking good! and it's really cute and classy and hides a good amount of what needs to be hid but because of the strapless top it's not like, too much, you know? and i love that it's white, although within five minutes on me it will most def be stained with coffee. is it worth $158.00?? i have no idea. this is the scary thing about having money and not having to pay rent/food/utilities (thanks dad).. i totally could afford this, but should i?

here are some other options, also mad loot.

option 2: Our Exclusive Gottex Skirted Bandeau
bloomingdales. $89.98

i like the shape but i'm not totally amazed by the colors/print. it looks like outer space but in a weird, off-setting way. like outer space on a bad acid trip. or outer space drunk for the first time, wobbling around making the other universes uncomfortable.

option 3: DKNY Draped Swimsuit Dress
bloomingdales. $112.00

eh, decent. i like how the bottom looks but that's about it. and it's so plain and basic that if you took like $100 bucks off of the price, i'd maybe be like "hm, maybe." donna karan has some balls.

option 4: Juicy Couture Metallic Stripe Ruffled Maillot
bloomingdales. $168.00

kind of cheesy but also kind of cute. it looks fun to wear you know? like i imagine myself playing frisbee in it but somehow in my dream i can actually throw and catch the frisbee, not drop it / miss it each time and have to slug my lazy ass all around the field picking the fucking thing up.

option 5: Juicy Couture Beach Skirted Bikini Bottoms
nordstroms. $65.00 (bottoms only)

if i actually continue to "work out" (term used very loosely) like i have been, maybe i'd go for a two piece. and if i were to go for a two piece, i'd maybe go for this one. my problems with two pieces are usually the bottoms. i always feel like i have to wear shorts you know? and i don't want to anymore because it's just not the ideal beach day when you have soggy, wet cotton falling off of your ass and stretching out and smelling weird. anyway, i like these. they are a good alternative to the boy shorts bottoms. the one piece is cute too:
but i'd want the draping to hide a little more vag.


HAPPY SUMMER!
