I’ve started shopping for a cute new one piece swimsuit for summer!
I’ve been sticking to fairly healthy eating in the new year, but got a little sidetracked with work and haven’t made it to the gym as often as I’d like. I tried a few bikinis on this week and honestly I’m just not feeling it yet. The ol’ midsection is still very “I had a kid recently”, and it’s not terrible at all, but it’s not necessarily something I’m comfortable hangin’ out there for all to see. But then I tried on a cute one piece swimsuit that had a little skirt action on it, and I was so comfortable in my skin! It came down juuuuust enough to cover the blobs that I’ve got at the tops of my thighs (is that TMI?), it had a little rouching in the midsection area to complement my fluffiness, it was awesome!
But I absolutely hated the tiny zebra print with contrasting hot pink thick embroidery thread accents around the armholes and neckline.
So the search is on for a super cute one piece that I can have some fun in this summer! Here’s a few awesome ones I’ve found in my online shopping travels:

I’ll be honest. I’m seriously considering the tuxedo and needlepoint swimsuits.

I think you’d look adorable in #10!
I love the tuxedo one! Super cute. I noticed that you don’t have any Betsey Johnson pieces here. They are a bit on the pricey side, but she has (or had last season) some great one pieces.
I love the needlepoint one but I don’t know how you’d look in yellow. To confuse you more, what about:http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/clothes-swims/24931297.jsp or http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/clothes-swims/23716905.jsp

Oh snaps Shari, those are CUTE!!!
Suit # 2. You and Josh on the beach doing a full rendiction of Madaam Butterfly. Priceless! You could play it safe with #7.
AHAHAHAHA!!! I’ll start working on some choreography!
I’m in love with number 7! Which happens to be my favorite number, so I guess it was meant to be. I’m so not ready for a swimsuit of any kind that I don’t even look in their direction when I’m out shopping, lol. But someday, and I’ll remember #7 for sure.
