I've always loved my Anne Cole tank suits from TJ Maxx for $30. The fabric, cut, molded cups, fit, etc. all seemed to work well for me from ages 15 to 39. THIS year, I'm finding it difficult to find time to go out and scour the racks for my perfect suit. Ordering online may be the best option for me during this season of life.

What would you suggest for me to try at home with the BBB suggested glass of wine, lol? I prefer a plain or slightly plain tank or tankini, wear an A/B, maybe a 10 in Loft clothing right now, and definitely have a lot of baby jiggle left over from 3 babies in the past 3 years. The idea of a skirt is kinda nice, but I know that makes wearing a coverup over it harder.

Which suits or tops have you liked from them and which would you suggest I try before the 25% off and FS promo is over?

I like the Halter Tankini Tops, with both the briefs and swim mini (worn separately). In the past I have gotten several printed halter tops and a couple of bottoms. Also, last year I purchased a top that was gathered at the sides, and I loved it. It had string on the side that you could adjust.

Here is what I would recommend:

Oh, and I think this is adorable:

Ok, I already had that v halter in my bag, plus the wide waistband bottoms, so :thumbsup: What top would you wear with the ruffle skirt? I have the ruffle top in my bag, but I'm not certain about it.

So you got a bunch of mix n match items all the same base color?

I think I would try the ruffle skirt with a halter tankini top, but not 100% sure if that would look good. I don't think I would do both the ruffle top and the ruffle skirt. But I do like the ruffle top and would do that with a normal bottom.

Ok here's what I'd get if I were you -

Top: bluebell solid doublestrap (http://www.landsend.com/pp/BeachLivingSolidDoubleStrapSwimTop%7E199387_-1.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::PCO&CM_MERCH=IDX_00008__0000002291&origin=index) and bluebell print halter (http://www.landsend.com/pp/CabanaFloralVneckHalterTankiniTop%7E206916_59.html ?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::HVF&CM_MERCH=IDX_00008__0000000615)
Bottom: bluebell solid side-tie bottom (http://www.landsend.com/pp/BeachLivingSolidSidetieSwimBottom%7E200922_59.html ?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::BBE&CM_MERCH=IDX_00008__0000002292&origin=index) and bluebell solid miniskir (http://www.landsend.com/pp/BeachLivingWideWaistbandMiniSwimMini15%7E201476_59 .html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::BBE&CM_MERCH=IDX_00008__0000002292&origin=index)t

Coupon won't work because it's all overstock, but your total would be about $50 and you could mix & match several looks out of it.

FWIW I tried that halter (different print) and it was super, super cute. Not supportive enough for me (DD) but it'd look fantastic on a smaller-busted woman.
I have the side-tie bottoms and they are very nice - modest without being frumpy.
I tried on both the miniskirt and the longer skirt which you can see on the site - and the longer version is way too old lady for me - goes past midthigh.
