What a topsy turvy week this has been. Too much ice cream and chlorine, thunderstorms and sun. And not enough knitting. Can you tell that school has let out for the summer? Now there's even a (gasp) bathing suit post on this here knitting blog. We are heading out to the pool for a quick swim before another thunderstorm hits. On Monday, I wasted several hours at the mall trying on swimsuits with utterly no luck. Apparently my criteria for the perfect suit (comfortable, modest, slimming) are pretty hard to find. Or I'm just a bad shopper. I had high hopes for the new "slenderizing" swim dresses advertised this season, but they felt like I was wearing a full body cast. A swimsuit should allow one to swim, right? I like the one that I bought last year a lot. It's sporty looking and covers all the right spots. This bolero knitted with Lion Brand Cotton-Ease makes for a nice cover-up.
Cute!...both the shrug and the suit.
ReplyDeleteThat suit looks perfect! Would love to find something like that-
ReplyDeleteUgh. I hate hate hate bathing suit shopping! Yours looks great and I love the addition of the bolero. I also love your new header photo!
ReplyDeleteI wait until we hit Florida to find a suit. I figure there are more choices there than in my midwest town. Here they seem to think everyone is a teenybopper or a matron. No middle of the road-no-I-dont't-want-to-show-my-belly kind of suits that aren't full of ruching and atrocious tropical prints!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree!
DeleteCute cute!!!
ReplyDeleteCute outfit. I am still looking for the perfect swimdress. The ones I see are always almost knee length and I'm not my grandma (yet!). Also, I love your new header. It's so perfect for summer and for a craft blog!
ReplyDeleteI love the suit - what a classic cut! The bolero is a great addition.
