Swimsuit/swimsuit cover-up Thread

[arivecchi]

I thought it might be fun to start a swimsuit link thread. If you have purchased a swimsuit or cover-up recently that you really like, post it here!

I need ideas!

[Twoboos]

Ohhhh, FUN!

Well, turns out I can't show the coverup, it's not online anymore. I think it used to be a color option with this one. It's blues/greens.

Which looks really good w/the bathing suit (two piece tankini and also bikini top if I'm feeling like it) I got from one of the big LE Canvas sales. No, my butt doesn't look like that :rotflmao: and I got a regular bikini bottom not string/tie.

I got this during one of those super LEC sales and I love it. I normally get a simpler suit but this is so cute. I am looking for a cover up still. I have some coming from Lands End and I will see if I like those or not.

I got this coverup today. It was on sale at my local store:

I have this one in the deep sea color. http://www.landsend.com/pp/BeachLivingDotScoopTankiniSwimsuitTop~216184_59.ht ml?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::JU2&CM_MERCH=IDX_Women-_-Swimsuits-_-ShopbySilhouette-_-TopsTankinis&origin=index

I'm 5'2", a DD bust, and pear shaped and this tankini top is super flattering and supportive. I have the skirt that matches.

I recently bought a suit (on sale) from Lisa Marie Fernandez. Sporty sexy. http://www.lisamariefernandez.com

[liamsmom]

I've been thinking about this one:

[Beth24]

I got this cover up in Black. Its very comfortable and lightweight.

[blondflava]

I got this one from ON:
http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?searchCID=68131&vid=1&pid=839459&scid=839459002
Really like it but didn't have a chance to wear it yet!
I'm also thinking of getting one of theirs long skirts.

[bnme]

I got this top to go with brown or black boy shorts that I already have:

I actually just bought one from walmart.com. I never thought I would like a suit from Walmart, but this one is great. It's a very cute retro style that flatters my body with an extra 10 pounds of baby weight still on it. Soooooo much cheaper than other suits that are essentially the same. Check out the reviews, everyone loves it.

[scriptkitten]

OMG i love that spanx one shoulder! i want it! do you know if the top is padded!

my favorite suit ATM is this VS monokini
http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss/Satellite?ProductID=1265482138933&c=Page&cid=1304338692046&pagename=vsdWrapper

it fits great and covers my vertical abdominal scar. LOVe it.

as for coverups, i don't really buy them... i have about a million casual summer dresses and tunics from everywhere from zara to H&M to saks, etc... i just wear those over my swimsuit.

I have no idea how I am going to decide, too many choices!! I have never had a white one, but also found it in a peachy color.

[firemama]

OMG i love that spanx one shoulder!

:yeahthat:

And I love the Tommy Bahama oxford stripe one too!

I also have a VS monokini, but I am not as toned as I was pre-pregnancy. It is a great suit though!

[arivecchi]

Scriptkitten, the one-shoulder red suit by Spanx is stunning, but not on me. :(
The cups are padded. I bet it would look great on you.

[ciw]

I purchased this coverup in carbon last week and LOVE it! I bought it at TJ Maxx for less than half the price listed here: http://www.marika.com/productinfo_item_881-dc_505-md_-pd_500-sn_7.htm

It's sooo soft and lightweight, I was convinced it would be completely see-through but it's not!

Ohhhh I saw a very similar one in Marshall's yesterday. I totally wanted it - but it was nearly identical to one I got last year!! I really like those Marika coverups.

[firemama]

Time to move on. Can't believe I wasted my time.

Adios!

[scriptkitten]

^^^ umm... i just haven't been back to this thread in a few days. i like the white michael kors suit. sexy and functional.

arivecchi, i think i'm going to have to order that suit!

[turtle12]

thnx for posting about this one...i had been eyeing it but now my size may be out...unless i need to size up. does it run small?

[QUOTE=Naranjadia;3170291]Just got this one - and it's wonderful. Now on sale, I had a coupon but not that much off! http://www.garnethill.com/calvin-klein-a-line-soft-cup-one-piece/womens-fashion/swimwear-collection/view-all-swimwear-cover-ups/121496

What was the snub? Am I missing something? I don't think anyone meant to snub you firemama.

I have this one in black.

Wow - I :heartbeat: that one!!!

[arivecchi]

The Garnet Hill cover-up is amazing! Thanks for the tip! I ordered all three colors and kept the black one. I love graphite but they did not have one in XS and the small was huge on me. They run one size large IMO. The cerise was NMS so it went back.

After ordering a gazillion swimsuits, I think I am keeping the Michael Kors shirred one:

http://www.zappos.com/michael-michael-kors-beachy-logo-solids-shirred-bandeau-skirted-maillot-black

but I just ordered this one too to compare:

I'm totally guessing here, but I think firemama was looking for suggestions from the suits she posted in post #20 and no one had responded to her post.

firemama - I'm sure nobody was trying to snub you here. Posts sometimes just get lost in a long thread. Why don't you post those in a new thread?

Turtle12, sorry I didn't see your question! I actually think the suit does run a tidge small. Mine fit, but had it been slightly smaller I would have sent it back.

I have no idea how I am going to decide, too many choices!! I have never had a white one, but also found it in a peachy color.

I liked the first CL one, looks like it would cover some baby fat, if you need that. I do, lol.

Personally, I don't like the last michael kors ones, but they are just not my style.

I have heard that white suite show, ummm, your nipples when wet. Don't know if they have improved in recent years.

I live near the beach and have never seen a white suit, I would have remembered because of DH's sister horror story with one.

[babybunny]

Wow - I :heartbeat: that one!!!

Lord and Taylor has a one day sale on all swimsuits and coverups today only online everything is 50 percent off. They say that the 20 percent off code doesnot stack but it did for me. Plus free shipping with the code and a $99 purchase.
I believe that the Kenneth Cole separates that everyone is posting from Macys are available at a big discount in larger sizes and limited color selection. But you might get lucky.

[arivecchi]

Garnet Hill has all beachwear on sale.

[SammyeGail]

Rue-La-La has spanx suits today, and regular spanx too....

[arivecchi]

I am keeping this one:

http://www.zappos.com/michael-michael-kors-beachy-logo-solids-shirred-bandeau-skirted-maillot-black

It is super comfortable and very forgiving and flattering. Highly recommend it!
