Swim Envy

While I was browsing Nordstrom's website this morning, I decided to wander over to the swimwear department...and what a mistake that was. One question: when did swimsuits get so expensive?! Here I am, just a girl looking for a cute, unpadded bikini, and although I found many positively adorable options, I could also almost hear my wallet crying. Therefore, I've resorted to blogging about my finds so that I can keep them in the confines of my mind...until I've saved up enough money to make a purchase, that is.

Seafolly Gingham Check Bikini Top

La Blanca 'Floral Fantasy' Bikini Top

MICHAEL Michael Kors 'Cascading Ruffles' Bandeau Bikini Top

Betsey Johnson 'Ship Shape' Bikini Top & Bottom

Marc by Marc Jacobs Halter Bikini Top & Bottom

I would happily lay out in the sun in any of these bikinis, but my personal favorites are the last two (flirty frills or minimalistic chic?). In the end, I think I'll call dibs on the Marc by Marc Jacobs; I can never resist clean, crisp color blocking. Now I just need some more dollars in the bank and a whole lot of sunshine...

Happy shopping!
