Also they’re having a 40% off sale! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-shop-for-swim-suits-for-you#post-2928230 Fri, 28 Apr 2023 18:46:27 +0000 karenbme 2928230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: I just got it and I think I’m going to exchange for a true tankini, but otherwise it’s great. The structure of the top fits like a sports bra and then it has the patterned fabric layered on top, which makes it super supportive but not push up-y, which is what I was looking for. I ordered my normal size and it fits the way o would expect. My only complaint is that the crop part just wants to roll up under my bust. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-shop-for-swim-suits-for-you#post-2928229 Wed, 26 Apr 2023 10:50:23 +0000 PinkElephant 2928229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@karenbme: Oooh thank you for letting me know! I missed this reply. Any sizing info to share (like did you get your normal size, did you feel it ran big/small, etc.)?

She said they were decent quality and supportive, and the suit was as cute on as in the photos online, but agreed that they’re pricey.</p> <p>@Lahela017: I had never heard of free country before. Their boy shorts are super cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-shop-for-swim-suits-for-you#post-2928191 Fri, 21 Apr 2023 14:48:48 +0000 bees_knees 2928191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live for high waisted bottoms and "ruffle-y" type tops. Without the ruffle I look like I have sag bags, if I have any push up/underwire I look like a porn star. I have several bottoms from Target actually that work great, and some tops from Cupshe (they are also on amazon). I got solid colors so I can mix and match. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-shop-for-swim-suits-for-you#post-2928187 Wed, 19 Apr 2023 12:45:59 +0000 LadyDi 2928187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of my favorite bathing suits are from Amazon. I have the opposite problem in that I am petite but I carry all of my extra weight in my stomach. I've bought a couple very high waisted bikinis and a tankini that I really like. This is probably my favorite and the one I feel most comfortable in (full disclosure the bottom as pilled a lot but I just wear it to the pool with my kids so I don't really care)</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NMZYKFM/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?pd_rd_i=B09NMZYKFM&#038;pd_rd_w=65uWa&#038;content-id=amzn1.sym.88097cb9-5064-44ef-891b-abfacbc1c44b&#038;pf_rd_p=88097cb9-5064-44ef-891b-abfacbc1c44b&#038;pf_rd_r=K8GRJWD1X4ZVJTZD60DH&#038;pd_rd_wg=uCQPo&#038;pd_rd_r=f51867c7-fd2b-4022-b8bc-beb5bfa9c2f7&#038;s=apparel&#038;sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWw&#038;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzUUJPNlcyMVVISVpWJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTQ3MjgxMlNIRUNSVEZEV0lLWSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMTQ4MDU2MVBHRlJVVzhLV0NVTCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2RldGFpbCZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NMZYKFM/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?pd_rd_i=B09NMZYKFM&#038;pd_rd_w=65uWa&#038;content-id=amzn1.sym.88097cb9-5064-44ef-891b-abfacbc1c44b&#038;pf_rd_p=88097cb9-5064-44ef-891b-abfacbc1c44b&#038;pf_rd_r=K8GRJWD1X4ZVJTZD60DH&#038;pd_rd_wg=uCQPo&#038;pd_rd_r=f51867c7-fd2b-4022-b8bc-beb5bfa9c2f7&#038;s=apparel&#038;sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWw&#038;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzUUJPNlcyMVVISVpWJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTQ3MjgxMlNIRUNSVEZEV0lLWSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMTQ4MDU2MVBHRlJVVzhLV0NVTCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2RldGFpbCZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-shop-for-swim-suits-for-you#post-2928183 Wed, 19 Apr 2023 09:20:37 +0000 Lahela017 2928183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think there are so many more options out there now compared to even like 5 years ago. I love all the more modest swim styles coming out!! I got this a couple years ago and love it. It is more flowy in the stomach and wasn't too expensive.

There are various rides to the bottoms and some cute crop top styles. The only thing that’s kept me from ordering is the seats are pretty pricey, and I’m unsure on sizing and I’m trying not to have to buy multiple sizes/pay for returns and restocking fees.</p> <p>I’m petite and athletic, so comfortable with my body (and definitely not wanting the granny styles you mention that are all over the stores) but always worried about a boob popping out at the pool/ judgement from others/ wearing /suits meant for my tween daughters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-shop-for-swim-suits-for-you#post-2928179 Wed, 19 Apr 2023 05:52:19 +0000 catgirl 2928179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of my bathing suits are from Lands End. I mostly wear rash guards with a bikini top under and a swim skirt or swim shorts. But I also have some regular bottoms and tankini tops. I love being able to mix and match with colors and patterns. Many of their swim pieces come in a long/tall and they offer different bust size options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-shop-for-swim-suits-for-you#post-2928178 Tue, 18 Apr 2023 23:56:11 +0000 karenbme 2928178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m 4 months postpartum with my second and still have a significant belly and more weight than at any other time in my life. I’m ok with my body, but looking to be a bit more covered this summer. I’m super tall (5’11” with a long torso) and have never found a one piece bathing suit that fits, so I’m hoping to find 1 or 2 stylish tankinis for the summer. I did some googling but so many places seem to be selling tankinis for 50-something women who haven’t updated their style since the early 90s. Where do people shop for modern, more covered up swimsuits?</p> <p>I know about summersalt but they only sell 1 tankini in black or navy blue, which is sad compared to all their other offerings. Has anyone ever bought anything from Albion Fit? They do a lot of not quite tankinis, but I’m not sure about random websites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-card-outfit-for-dh#post-2901501 Mon, 04 Nov 2019 14:27:13 +0000 josina 2901501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do dark blue jeans with a dark green that matched the little dot's on dd's dress.</p> <p>My DH would never wear this, lol, but would look adorable with you and DD: </p> [attach=4677/19/q0gm1d.236x353.862a1f5e49179bc3e6dbd20c405abc50--green-blazer-green-jacket.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-card-outfit-for-dh#post-2901490 Mon, 04 Nov 2019 13:46:44 +0000 erinbaderin 2901490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would add a pattern.

We're going to a local botanical garden that has a coniferous garden to hopefully give us that "Christmas" look despite it otherwise being a beautiful display of Fall colors right now. </p> <p>If all goes well with our NIPT (Nov 22) and the photo shoot, the plan is to use our cards and these photos to announce our pregnancy. </p> <p>I have a dress for DD (2.5), and a probable dress for me (I'll wear some kind of red)... the question is - what do I put DH in? Goal is relaxed look, not too fussy or formal.</p> <p>Thanks! </p> [attach=7491/19/q0gg9s.521x600.Screen-Shot-2019-11-04-at-12.13.43-PM.png] [attach=7491/19/q0gg9u.283x600.Screen-Shot-2019-11-04-at-12.13.00-PM.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blazers-blazers-blazers-fall-fashion-thread#post-2895447 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 22:01:27 +0000 PurplePeony 2895447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought this from J.

Also if you’re interested in linen, the linen version is marked down and then an extra 50% off this weekend. I also like that they make a tall cut, which may or may not be a factor for you, but def is for me (5’11’ with long arms). <a href="https://www.jcrew.com/r/search/?N=0&#038;Nloc=en&#038;Ntrm=Parke%20blazer&#038;Nsrt=&#038;Npge=1&#038;Nrpp=60" rel="nofollow">https://www.jcrew.com/r/search/?N=0&#038;Nloc=en&#038;Ntrm=Parke%20blazer&#038;Nsrt=&#038;Npge=1&#038;Nrpp=60</a></p> <p>@yellowbeach: You have me drooling over those, too!
