Swimsuits: To fret or not to fret? That is the question.

My friends, I am trying to take my mind off my sick puppy for the time being with something so utterly distracting such as swimsuits. While I’ve promised to go on a many a diet/health kick/work0ut in preparation for Spring, really…I’m the same. And..I still plan on plunging into almost any pool I see (as long as I haven’t washed/curled my hair that day).

Readers, I am compelled to send you to your local TJ Maxx. That is where I’ve found my one and only beloved swimsuit of the summer. I tried it on for my boyfriend last weekend (just to get reviews) and I think he almost salivated! That has not happened. In. Forever. I tell you, it was not me! It was the magical swim suit. It’s a one piece but it is practically backless and completely suctioned. It is practically a piece of machinery in that it makes my boobs hit my clavical, my waist shrink 3″ and my back look as though there were nary a roll. BUT…(how can it get better you ask?) it doesn’t push the fat down to my legs!!! So they look normal, pretty good even (with a wedge added). What I can tell you about this glorious suit is that it’s Nine West or Calvin Klein, $19 and at TJ Maxx. It looks a lot like this but this isn’t it.

UPDATE: I found the swimsuit! It’s Calvin Klein 2009. It was featured last year on refinery29. And this is it!

It has changed my summer 2010 – ALREADY.

While we’re on the subject…I don’t think you will be able to pry me out of one-pieces this season. So, here are a few more I like.

    Found a brown ruffley Juicy one piece at TJ a few weeks ago; alas, about 3 days before payday, so I figured I’d wait and go get it that weekend. I don’t really want to talk about it because I still get upset thinking about it. I’m obviously without The Precious.

    {I hope your sweet baby is okay. Trust me, I KNOW how awful going to work for 8 hours is while a sweet pup is at home sick. I once missed 2 weeks (no exaggeration) from work when I was part time because of a very sick sweetie. I absolutely couldn’t bear being at work.}
