As I said there, it would be Lulu in a mumu! The last suit I bought is from Land's End and I think it's cute. Likely I'll buy the next one from them, too. I admit, I like LE, even if you could fit an entire VS tankini into one half of the LE version. Lulu, I left a comment on your site, but that photo of the sample bathing suit is priceless.

On my post today, I have the same sort of conundrum. Check out my #8 on the post to see the type of bathing suit that I'm pondering. Actually, I just got a bathing suit from Land's End. They really are great suits. This is the second one that I own. Hysterical! On my post today, I have the same sort of conundrum.

Having the kids, too, makes it hard to get by without, since we fill our weekends at the pool if possible. I have already pulled out the subtle tanning body lotion...if only I could pull out a few other tricks! PS. Swimming laps is one of the best exercises for me (to whip me into shape), but the idea of getting into a bathing suit at the gym, which is right near where I work, is another story. I'm going to break down one of these days. I have to start somewhere...

You might want to try a light dose of the self-tanning products, at least on your arms and legs. They work well and are very subtle. They take my legs from scary to not-very-noticeable, which is just fine by me! I agree with Cindy. Most of the population would be better off lycra-free (including me)!

Still, it's not clear that I need a swimsuit anyway. I don't much like swimming, or even getting wet, and I find I can lounge quite comfortably at poolside while fully clothed. In fact, I'm much more comfortable in public when fully clothed, as compared to when I'm clad in bulging lycra.
