It's the Little Things

With about 5 weeks left in my pregnancy, it would be an understatement to say that swimsuit shopping is not something I have been looking forward to.  But with the forecast calling for decent weather this Memorial Day weekend, and summertime in the very near future, shopping had to be done.  I'm thrilled to say that I actually found a couple options that made me feel "as cute as possible" and I didn't have to break the bank for it.

For a mere $4.98 I got this blue halter top in a size i've never had to purchase before. 

For $8.95 I got this little tankini.  I've never been a fan of the tankini, but i must admit I like it for several reasons, one being it hides my baby back fat and two I like the way it shows off my belly.  Plus, after Bean arrives, I figure this little number will hide some of that post-baby awesomeness that your belly goes through.  Hopefully, the polka-dots create enough confusion and disorientation to the eyes, moving them in every direction but my mid-section. Yay!  Not to mention the top provides easy access to my ummm "baby bottles".

Both of the above mentioned will pair well with the basic black bottoms I purchased for $7.49 in a size that seems to limit the amount of "muffin-top" action that happens with most bottom dwelling articles of clothing I put on lately.

Am I ready to hit the beach or what?   Mentally no, but I could definately put in a few sunny hours on the private dock and that is a beautiful thing.

Wishing you all a happy and safe Memorial Day!
