Ugh, one of my least favorite activities! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-probably-the-only-woman-in-america-who#post-509968 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 21:49:43 +0000 catgirl 509968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not crazy at all! I buy swimsuits when I'm on vacation - so much easier to find a good selection in places you can actually wear one. Like in Hawai'i - the choice is endless! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-probably-the-only-woman-in-america-who#post-509933 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 21:12:42 +0000 RoseandJoan 509933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like the perfect time to shop for swimwear, I'm always the most comfortable in my own skin after a little break. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-probably-the-only-woman-in-america-who#post-509928 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 21:05:59 +0000 Scarlet 509928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly I hear you get the best selection now--so it's a good move </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-probably-the-only-woman-in-america-who#post-509833 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 19:57:26 +0000 Heather 509833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicarious living commencing....</p> <p>Thanks for sharing, Janet! </p> <p>Now to book your next trip to put these new swim things into use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-probably-the-only-woman-in-america-who#post-508033 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 03:26:44 +0000 Refugee 508033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seems very reasonable to me.

Barely set foot off the resort except for a chartered boat trip on my husband's birthday. It was our second time there, and a totally relaxing experience! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-probably-the-only-woman-in-america-who#post-507996 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 02:57:00 +0000 Heather 507996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>psstt....where did you go, Janet?

And you got your money's worth out of your older suit and coverup. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-probably-the-only-woman-in-america-who#post-507845 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 01:46:36 +0000 Suz 507845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great thinking, Janet!

Love the "non-pressure" approach! BUT - I am waiting for the pictures Janet! You set a precedent last summer when you modeled your suit and a few of us followed your lead. I would have never had the courage if you hadn't of first. So, come on - lets see some pics!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-probably-the-only-woman-in-america-who#post-507835 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 01:38:39 +0000 nancylee 507835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That makes a lot of sense to me, Janet. You're in the bathing suit frame of mind when you've actually been wearing one a lot...and in a better position to make a good decision.</p> <p>I haven't bought one when I got home, but I've definitely bought them while on vacation!</p> <p>(p.s . I'm jealous! Someplace warm sure sounds nice as I sit here in drizzly cold rain.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-probably-the-only-woman-in-america-who#post-507820 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 01:26:30 +0000 Janet 507820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire, you are so right. The selection of swimsuits that come in bra cup sizes is limited to begin with, so I think I really had the advantage of a good selection. </p> <p>I guess it didn't hurt that I'm a little smaller and more physically fit than I was the last time I shopped for swimsuits. My husband insists he cannot see any cellulite on me, and while I know I still have some, I was a little shocked to realize it has decreased significantly. Exercise FTW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-probably-the-only-woman-in-america-who#post-507814 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 01:17:03 +0000 Anonymous 507814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's awesome! I bet the selection hadn't been picked over yet, either! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-probably-the-only-woman-in-america-who#post-507808 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 01:08:13 +0000 rae 507808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds right to me! You couldn't fill the wardrobe hole until you knew you had it. How were you to know that one bikini is not enough? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-probably-the-only-woman-in-america-who#post-507807 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 01:07:55 +0000 Janet 507807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad it's not just me, Lisa!</p> <p>One of the great things about the experience was that the sales assistant in the store had lots of time for me. She was like the Angie of swimwear! She brought me things I wouldn't have necessarily tried, and she had great feedback and advice. I've never actually had such a positive swimsuit shopping experience in my life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-probably-the-only-woman-in-america-who#post-507805 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 01:07:23 +0000 diane 507805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the 'waiting until your tanned' idea. Nothing worse than picking out a swimsuit with pasty white skin (and maybe a little late on the shaving!) OMG! A bad picture comes to mind for sure.<br /> Hope your trip was wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-probably-the-only-woman-in-america-who#post-507798 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 01:00:51 +0000 Lisa 507798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would do the same thing! After my last beach vacation I put new swimsuits on my shopping list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-probably-the-only-woman-in-america-who#post-507797 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 00:59:24 +0000 Janet 507797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Comes home from a beach vacation and *then* buys new swimsuits! </p> <p>My husband and I went on vacation and I got tired of wearing the same bikini every day (yes, the one I notoriously modeled here last year when I shopped for it). The day after we came home, I had an errand at the mall (Nordstorm neglected to remove a security tag from a jacket I bought for my niece!), and on a whim, I stopped in the swim shop. Well, I left with three new bikinis, two new coverups (my old one is ready to bite the dust), and a new pair of beach flipflops. Oh, and a straw cowboy hat. LOL I told my husband I'm ready for another tropical vacation! </p> <p>It sounds totally bass-ackwards, doesn't it? But actually there's some method to my madness. When I spotted the store, I thought, hmmm, what better time to shop for a swimsuit than when I a) have been looking at myself in a bikini for a solid week, b) have a little bit of a tan, and c) am under absolutely no time pressure to buy anything? </p> <p>:-D </p>
