Summer Time

I don't know where you all live, but if you don't live in Texas during the summer, consider yourself very fortunate!  It has been in the 100's for a few weeks now, and the weather is looking the same for this next week as well.  It is horrid to be outside for more than 30 seconds, and I feel like I'm getting a sunburn just from walking to my car from class.  Basically the only place to be is by the pool, or rather in the pool at all times.

I always have the hardest time finding bathing suits that fit me, and they usually cost more money then I can justify spending on a bathing suit.  $60 for the top and $60 for the bottom...no way.  So I am looking for the cheapest suits I can find.  Bathing suits are a fashion statement, just like the latest shoes, handbags, etc.  I always want to buy a new one every summer, even though there is nothing wrong with my old ones.  So far, this summer I have bought 2, with mix-matching in mind.  I am trying to buy basic bottoms and printed tops and vice-versa.  Even though my mother would drop $200 to see me wear a one-piece, I just can't see myself laying by the pool in a small dress.  The point is to get some sun! Sorry mom.  Here are a few suits I have bought so far and they are all under $20.
