Fashion Find: Glam Swimwear (and It's Flattering!)

Friday May 9, 2008
halter suitSome swimwear manufacturers just don't get it: instead of using good design they give us ineffective choices like swimdresses (what girl ever looks better with a bunch of wet fabric hanging off her?) and tummy control to visually shave off the pounds. But this golden swimsuit from Newport News (Compare Prices) seems to get it all right.

First, it has a great lustrous golden hue (which goes perfectly with a faux tan.) Second, it has a sexy halter neck (which can't be beat for drawing all of the attention to the bust and face). And third, it has an attached, flowing top over high-waist bottoms (Muffin top? No problem with this two-piece.) $49, sizes 2-18. (Photo Credit: Newport News)

I don’t get it. If a guy we don’t know would see us dressed like that in the bedroom,[accidently] we’d be outRAGED…..

Um…..I think the MAIN reason we would be outraged is because there is a man in our bedroom whom we do not KNOW. We could be in a nun’s habit and I don’t think it would change that situation. And if you find yourself in that position on a regular basis, perhaps a lifestyle makeover is in order.
I’m not quite sure what you are getting at here really. Do you propose that we all return to wearing dresses, bathing caps, stockings and shoes on the beach, 1920s style? It would afford us a LOT more sun protection, no doubt about that.

I think that suit is GREAT!! It’s gorgeous; for those of us who do not have “model” bodies. The price is right as well.
Love it!
