Bathing Suit Success Online...I Hope...

So, after one more day in bathing suit hell, I finally gave up and ordered two suits at Bluefly.com. First up is a DKNY swimsuit that has a fun print and underwire. I ordered a large top and a small bottom.



I also ordered this L Space swimsuit that is surprisingly supportive. The woman who helped me at a local Charlotte swimwear and lingerie store, E Martini, recommended this suit. I was a bit apprehensive, but the top was actually quite comfortable and cute. The only size she had was too small, so I had to turn online to order a large top and a small bottom.



On Bluefly.com I used the code SHOPSTYLE30 for $30 off $150. The code is only good for first time customers only, but I used a new email address so it worked just fine!

Here's hoping at least one of these two suits fits!

I Hate My Boobs and Now I Hate the Mall

I have a problem. Granted, I'm sure I have lots of problems. But really though, my boobs are a problem. I know, I should be thankful for what I have, and I am - thanks mom and grandma, but they can be a problem. They are a problem when shopping for a swimsuit (and running long distances, golfing and wearing button-down shirts) but I digress.

As I mentioned previously, I am headed to the beach in just a few weeks which means:

1) Running a few extra miles
2) Easing up on the gelato
3) Finding a new swimsuit that has some sort of support for the sisters

I thought number three would be a piece of cake., especially compared to number two. But, no - hell no. I spent hours at the mall yesterday trying to find a cute swimsuit that had some sort of underwire. I found nothing, zilch, nada. I thoroughly thank my husband for being patient while I scoured the mall and left with nothing...and pouted.

I tried on one suit on at Everything But Water and it looked heinous. So, I am attempting one more store today and then I will have to order online. But the funny thing is...there aren't even that many options online short of the Victoria's Secret Miracle Bra Suit and crazy tankinis. J. Crew does have some cute suits online, but they either are out of my size or the item I want is final sale, a terrible idea for me when it comes to swimwear.

All I want it a cute, underwire top without a nutty design and normal, low-rise bottoms. Am I asking for too much? No one wants to look inappropriate or saggy-mc-saggerson.

This is not a good look for me...


Help two sisters out...any suggestions?
