Ok, so I changed my mind about the Patrick Robinson swimsuit. I feel too exposed in it, so I might return it. I'm also selling some of my older swimsuits. If you're interested, they're here.
I'll be saving up for the Damsel solid one-piece from Urban Outfitters. I really love vintage/vintage-inspired swimsuits.
I've been in a desperate need for new shorts! The only two shorts I owned were too big for me now. They were also pretty short. Since I'm getting older now, I decided I should start wearing shorts with a longer length. Not as long as a bermuda length however; They make me look stumpy.
I also decided that I need a variety of different shorts: denim, black, and a print (most likely a plaid). I stay away from white bottoms because I feel exposed in them. Most white bottoms seem pretty sheer to me. I also stay away from khaki bottoms, just because I feel they don't suit me.
So I kept my eye out, and most of the ones I was attracted to were ones with cuffs. I believe cuffed shorts are the trend now, as I have been spotting them all over the place. So far, I've purchased two pairs of shorts.
I love the length, and I love all the details! There are zipper pockets in the front and in the back. There's a short knit elastic band in the back of the waistband. I also like that it's not a low waist. And it fits my tush nicely!
They were 25% off, plus I had a $15off coupon! I know these aren't exactly a much longer style, but they're still longer than my old shorts. For the price, I'm not complaining! I love it's wide waistband and cute pleats. I would have wanted these in black though. However, for the $24.50 original price, there were none.
I'm still on the hunt for black shorts and a printed pair. Express had some Editor style black shorts in the clearance racks for $14.99, but, unfortunately, none in my size. Maybe I'll try another Express store.
Crochet swimsuits are yum, too! I took a leap and bought a two piece [that's not a tankini]! It's flattering, but I still need some more working out to do. The hard part is jumping back on the horse. =P (Looks better in real life than in the picture.)
Target's latest Go:International designer's Patrick Robinson. I love his Grecian/Bohemian-feel collection, especially all the medallion print pieces. At the Target I shopped at today, I had wanted to try on the medallion print one piece, but they only had extra-small and extra-large available. =( Hopefully the next Target I go to will have my size in stock so that I can see how it fits on me.
EDIT (05.10.07) Went to another Target today. Tried it, fit it, looked good in it, bought it! w00t! hahaha!
