Bikini Shopping :: Poor Girl

I've been on the search for a new bikini this year. Two years ago I bought about 3 or 4 so I took a break last year. I'm on the hunt again and my timeline is to have them by the 4th of July. Or at the very least our annual Lake of the Ozarks trip.  

Shopping for a bikini to me is terrifying. A. it makes me want to drop 7 pounds, so juice cleanse this week might be a must. B. I'm not sexy. There's nothing sexy about me. Have you ever looked at bikini's on Victoria's Secret? No I don't want 4 inches of padding and an underwire. I don't even want that in my bra's so I sure as hell don't want that in my bikini. Also, how is a normal girl supposed to pick a swim suit with some hot victoria's secret model in them? I'm sure as hell not going to look like that.  I even usually stay away from triangle tops and stick to my bandeau's. It's possible I branch out. But let's be real... prob not. This is the one I am dying for...

Hipanema :: $130 for set

Unfortunately it's pretty far out of my price range so I will be stalking it online to try to get it on sale. If you've never heard of Hipanema then check it out. It's a hippie girls dream.

Here's what I've narrowed down to. Again, I really wish I could just look at Vicky's Secret bikini's not on these hotel models that make me want to throw up the McDonald's chicken nuggets and soft serve I had for dinner...

1 :: 2 :: 3 :: 4 :: 5 :: 6

I love mixing and matching bikini's. You will rarely see me in a total matching suit. Coral top print bottoms? Yep. Print top black bottoms? Yep.

I think this post has motivated me more to go work out than to spend money...

Current Obsession :: Silk Print Wide Leg Pants

Yes, you read that right.  I am currently obsessing over silk print wide leg pants.  I am in NY for Intermezzo this week {don't except a travel post... my phone and camera decided to stop liking me.  I will try though!} and I can assure you that for Fall and Holiday 2012 you will be craving these comfy chic pants too.  Well, I want them now and plan on finding a Summer friendly pair to then take me into Fall.  I think these are some good options.

Urban Outfitters :: Pins & Needles Striped Wide Leg :: $69

I generally hate the way most stores style things on their websites and this is no exception.  Thankfully I can easily look past that and know these are probably much longer then they look.  I would wear these with a big chunky wedge and white silk tank.  Pair lots of bracelets and necklaces and you are ready for a night out.

Joie :: Aryn Silk Wide Leg Pant :: $274

For a slightly sleeker look than most this is a great option.  Most give off the hippie I just got home from Coachella feel but these feel preppy and put together.

Free People : Mink Pink Printed Beach Pant :: $98

These ladies are my favorite! Actually go to Free People's website and you will have your fill of wide leg silk print pants. These however are perfect for casual or dressed up for cocktails.  Oh and I actually like the styling... shocker.  These may be going home with me soon, I see a bright future for us together.

Maxi Skirts :: Spring Obsession

I love a good maxi dress, it's basically my uniform once the weather gets warm.  Nothing is more comfy and still cute enough for a drink on a patio {or several drinks on a patio}.  An update to the maxi dress is a great maxi skirt paired with a silk tank and it serves the same weekend purpose.

Here are some of my favorites.

Sparkle & Fade Maxi Skirt :: Urban Outfitters :: $89

J. Crew :: Jersey Maxi Skirt :: Tuscan Grape :: $69.50 $39.50

And this one will be in my closet by the end of the week.

Line & Dot :: Piperlime :: $98 $42.97

Willow & Clay :: Nordstrom :: $88

I'm already day dreaming about the next Saturday where I will be in one of these on a rooftop patio with a mimosa in hand.

Ugh... Monday.
