Bathing on a Budget by CHEAP*CHIC featuring Old Navy swimwear

Bathing Suit season is here people! AHHHHHHHH!!!
Don't you just love the anticipation of our pasty skin gracing everyone with its presence, some of which hasn't seen the light of day since last summer???
mmmmmm nothing makes me more happy!
HA.. Ha.. ha..
I know you all are just DYING to slip into your swim suit and get a glimpse of your self in the mirror, don't lie.. you know you are!! :)
Well, lets be honest, no one likes the beginning of the season when you have to drag out the bathing suit, and maybe its torn, stretched, not cute, and who wants that when are already not jumping for joy at the thought of strutting around in one, esp for those of us without a tan!
But do not fret, b/c I have found some very adorable, very fun, very affordable suits that will tickle your fancy, or just make you cry at your computer as you look at them because maybe you haven't remembered until now that it is bathing suit season, and I just ruined your day.. if it is the latter, then pop open a bottle of wine, pull out an old Beach Boys record and come back and read this post again, and everything will be MUCH better! :)

You don't have to be a model or a bombshell to be cute for bathing suit season, because there really are very few of those that are actually real...can you say RETOUCHING BABY!!!! And even if there are a few out there that look like fake barbie dolls, they are probably very hungry, and very sad, and I like to think that they may be very bitchy on top of that.. but that's the very mean side of me creeping out.. did I just say that??
Ok, whew! I'm done, no seriously, there are tons of options out there to feel cute in.

If you're not crazy about your mid section, go for a tankini that is a little more flowy on top, but not all over, you don't want the girls swimming around..
And if you're not loving the bottom half, there are tons of sarongs that are so fabulous, or even bathing suit skirts that you can actually get in the water in, so you don't have to drop the cover-up off and RUN as fast as you can to the pool so no one will see you! :)
