In 2010 I challenged myself to buying nothing new and it was a challenge indeed, but a wonderful one. Now that 2011 is here I'm going to share with you all that I have learned and hope to learn.

This week's deal
I headed to Kohl's Saturday afternoon while the babies were sleeping and went on the hunt for a bathing suit. I wanted something modest, but that would support my bust. Very hard to find either of those qualities, let alone together in one suit. I tried on a dozen or so suits and didn't buy one. I was frustrated and feeling dejected. I ended up buying a slimming pair of shorts (the kind you would wear under a dress, I can't think of the name now) and 6 pairs of socks for Miss A for fall. I spent an additional $10, but I'm okay with that. Both were things I needed.
My hunt continued today after I went grocery shopping and my mother-in-law watched my kidlets. I ran to the Union Gospel Mission and actually prayed before I went in that I would find a suit. I browsed through stuff and really wanted to find a bike trailer, but they didn't have any. Then I headed over to the swimsuits (they have a LARGE selection) and found a one-piece Lands End fuchsia suit that is modest and holds the girls up! WOOT! It was $7 and looks brand new. I came home and washed it with my other suit and Miss A's suit on the delicate cycle and all is well.
Nice! I hate swim suit shopping (especially post-baby). I always have to buy two pieces because my torso is so long :( I actually found a tankini that fits pretty good and it covers everything :)
ReplyDeleteI would have liked a tankini, but couldn't find one that fit properly. Post baby body is so sucky sometimes :/
