Oh, bathing suit season. Ugh. Swimsuit shopping is pretty much the most cringe worthy thing in the world, am I right? Seeing my pale body for the first time in months in the store's fluorescent lighting and having to constantly take off and put on my clothes seriously puts me in a cranky mood.

You're right.
I'm with ya.
I love the the Tommy Bahama Aruba Cubes white cover up in three.
The Old Navy Tankini is most likely what I'll need. I just don't feel comfortable in a full bikini any longer. I inherited my grandma's belly witch she never could get rid of and I fear I have the curse now.LOL
Thanks for the tips Alex.
