Royal Bandeau with Ring & Leather Bottom . Vix

I wish I would have purchased this.  It's several seasons ago but I still love it and search for it in my size.  There are only a few sizes left, so if the shoe suit fits, I suggest you snap it up.  If not for you, do it for me!

Zaza Stripe Bandeau Bikini Top with Ruffles . Marc by Marc Jacobs

Can you tell I have the sunny beach weather on my mind or what?

See I am trying to teach my Mister that bathing suits are like outfits. I don't wear the same t-shirt every day { and neither does he for that matter } so why is it so hard to understand that I want need a suit for every day of our trip?

And again with the modesty issue. The convenient ruffles cover up any cold nip awkwardness with the colleague and his wife and their close friends. A lot of potential awkwardness to be had people. This has been inducted into the necessity category.

Bandage Bikini . VPL

Okay so we are going on a warm winter getaway with some work friends that we are just starting to get to know along with some of their close friends. That means that I have never been so undressed as to wear a bathing suit in their presence. Being the slightly shy and very modest gal that I am, I truly believe this is the ultimate conservative yet fashionable bikini for the trip. I can see myself feeling very comfortable in either color. I think this could definitely be classified in the need category rather than the want category. For sure!

Zig Zag Bikini . Charlie by Matthew Zink

I really may not be able to control myself with this one, which is not a good sign, because this is my first attempt fail at posting rather than purchasing.

It is just unfortunate really. My Mister doesn't like what he referred to as the "two-toned titties". I on the other hand love them. Plus, my Mister is very wrong { on all accounts for that matter }, it's a three-toned torso.
