Swimsuit

For the past few weeks, more like months, I have been on the hunt for a good swim suit. One that would hold everything in, and look cute at the same time.

I had been on the look for something that had rouching, halter-ish, modest, and cute, kind of with a vintage feel to it.

At the beginning of Spring Old Navy came out with their line of Swim wear for 2012. I had found the perfect one...but me being stingy with my money (I never pay full price for anything) I decided to wait until it went on sale, or until I could get a 30% off coupon or something. Again, I HATE paying full price for anything.

Well, just my luck that swimsuit was out of stock within a week. OUT OF STOCK! What?!?! I was so bummed!

Oh well, on to my search for a different one. My sister recommended Land's End for great swimwear. But again I couldn't stomach paying THAT much for a suit. So, I checked ebay. Found a few that I really liked but didn't want to take the plunge just yet.

Good thing I didn't!

I check Old Navy again today just for fun and looked at their swimsuits.

LO AND BEHOLD the one I wanted so badly was back on, and on sale, but only in one size. I quickly read the reviews and they say it runs small. Great! The size available is one size too big for me...but if it runs small it'll probably fit perfectly.

I add it to my cart, and realize I was $1 away from free shipping. So, I bought a pair of cheap $2 flip flops, because really you can never have too many of those. I got the green ones this time.

And checkout. Done.

That suit was going to be mine baby!

The crazy thing was that after I purchased it I went back to look at it again, and it says, "this suit is currently out of stock".

I BOUGHT THE LAST ONE!  HALLELUJAH!!!

I'm so excited to get it!

I told Ryan I was on the lookout for a new suit and he said, "but when do you ever go swimming?"

Umm hello??? My sabbatical is coming up. I can swim whenever or wherever I want to! Maybe I'll go to my SIL Brianna's pool everyday. Who knows. But now I don't have to worry about not having a suit.

So you wanna see it? It's cute right?

That's awesome that you got the last one. Hooray for a good deal! I am a bargain shopper myself. Very cute.

Cute! I had been looking for the same kind of suit this year. I found one at Costco of all places. I'm actually wearing it right now for the first time. haha! We just got back from the pool.
