Since Mr. Bee and I will be going to hot springs and/or the beach in Costa Rica, I have to buy a new swimming suit. I haven’t purchased one in over 5 years, because I’m a self-conscious person that’s never felt comfortable in a bikini (even when I was somewhat thin… 10 years ago ;)). I also have a lot of eczema scars on my body, and am not in the best of shape right now. But I grew up in Southern California and actually love the beach!
So I searched high and low online last night for a sexy one piece or a tankini. There was a Michael Kors swimming suit from his 2005 collection that I really liked. I called the Michael Kors store here in New York back then, but they didn’t have it in stock. You can see it on Jessica Simpson here - it’s more of a swim dress, but it has so much coverage! Perfect for me.

I was looking for something similar, or maybe a maillot or a tankini. I searched tons of sites and decided to buy this DNKY swimdress from Macy’s. It’s classic, has all the coverage I want and of course as a bonus, black is slimming.
But is this too plain, too modest? Should I get something that’s a little more fun? It’s just not that easy to find nice one pieces or tankinis, because most of the cute swimsuits are bikinis. Alas I’d never wear one!
Where is your favorite place to shop for swimwear? Are you a bikini, one piece, or tankini gal?
