I am feeling a little large-ess with the Holidays and all, and am not really looking forward to shoving my pale big ol’ thighs into a bather and strutting my stuff in Palm Springs.
That is, until I met this guy:
VERY flattering for a more zaftig, post-holiday arsen-snarsen. Mine is navy with polkas, and I don’t know if it is the dots or the ruching at the sides that creates the optical illusion of fabulosity, but I’ll take it.
Thanks Santa! And pass the peppermint, please!


I’m jealous that you can wear their suits. They’re so cute, but NOT made for women with large chests. I picked up this one (http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/swim/solids/PRDOVR~10230/10230.jsp) once at a sample sale for like $5. It was in the size I would normally wear (and a totally gorgeous fuchsia color), so I grabbed it, but alas, when I tried it on at home it looked pornographic up top. Not a look I’m known for or want to be known for. Too bad. At least it went to a good friend’s home…
Yours is adorbs, and I’m sure you’ll look great in Palm Springs!
Oh, I just noticed that have D-cup versions of their suits now. Is this new? Might have to revisit the JCrew swim selection…
I was JUST going to tell you about the D size. Get em girl.
is that underwire?! do my eyes deceive me?! i want one too!
My concern about the bubbies sounds similar to the other commenters, but if you say it’s as fabulous as it is then I might be snagging one for myself. In ORANGE- cuz I’m bold like that.

I can’t even imagine trying to pull on a bathing suit right now, but this one is definitely fantastic!
when you said “this guy” i thought you meant the manly model. srsly…why would you ever buy a bathing suit after seeing that bag of bones in it?
i wouldn’t look aaaaaaaaanything like that inside it.
you’re cracking me up. love the suit and the dress. rock it out in PS!
That bathing suit is SUPER cute! Love the pattern and color. Have fun in Palm Springs – enjoy the warm weather!
