yes my sister swears by Lands End bathing suits she is well endowed. Me not so much LOL.
Well, not all their suits are for people like me, I discovered that yesterday while I was online... The majority of them are for normal people.
However, I was just happy to find something that didn't make me either A: look like a 40 y/o teenager or B: let my b00bs sag down to my knees.
I was very impressed with the support in the suits. I was so impressed that I went to LE online yesterday and I ordered a second suit... They were on sale there (though not as much as at Sears) too. So, I am thrilled that I will now have 2 suits that properly fit me... It's very necessary to have 2 suits at the lake... One drying, one dry.
Sounds like you had a very successful shopping day. I was going to pop on here the other day to tell you that Hollister still has 50% off their redline merchandise. I bought my girls some cute Hawaiian print skirts for $5 each. They can wear them this spring. I also picked up a few tops that I put away for holiday gifts for them.
Thanks Diane - I did see that when I was at the mall the other day. I did stop in and get each of the girls one of those big necked tees for Christmas... $16 total for both, not bad, IMO.
It sounds like you really scored on your jeans! And I'm so happy that you found a swimsuit that will work for you. I've never bought any Lands End bathing suits but they do look really nice. My MIL always wants to take me bathing suit shopping when we visit her in Florida so I end up buying one each time we visit her. My bathing suit drawer is bursting open!
Yah - those jeans are super comfy, I wore them all day yesterday.
I have the same swimsuit problem... I do have a ton of them, but none of them fit right.
If you are ever in the market for a new one - I highly suggest LE.
I have a pair of Lands End Jeans because, not only am I a big girl, I'm a tallish girl too, so all the "average" jeans I find always end up as "crops" as the cotton shrinks, and Lands End not ony has multiple sizes and lengths, they do run a tad large, so I can get away with a regular size instead of the "W" size. So hearing that their swimwear runs large is not surprising. Wow, that was a long way to say nothing really that important
)
I thought what you said was important.
It's important to be able to spend your $$ on something that really works out well for you, anything else is just a waste IMO... And it's even better if you can find it on sale.
And, in my case anyway, great deals should be celebrated and shared. It's a family thing: it's not unusual as Christmas or other present giving time to hear someone in my family add: "And it was on sale!" when a gift is opened. It drives my DH nuts.
LOL Same thing here... Actually we don't even say it - my girls just know.
I'm looking forward to the prototype.
It's already posted.
Oh I need to check them out! I have a time finding a suit that fits up top lol.
Yah, you should. I guess, my biggest complaint with most suits is that stupid shelf bra inside... Unib00b anyone? And when they are competent enough to put an underwire into a suit, it's not nearly large enough.
So, I was thrilled that it was large enough and cute and supportive.
I highly recommend... Oh and the little swim skirt I got with both of mine... SUper cute too... Just long enough the it covers my bum, but not so long that I feel like I am wearing a skirt. I have had swim skirts in the past, but they just don't fall right - these ones do, and I really like that.
I am super excited about this project!
So many people have a approached me about creating this, and I was so happy to finally have the time!
While I was making this one, I just kept getting more and more excited, because I started thinking about all the possibilites for boys... They can use the lanyard portion for Pin Trading, they can use the pouch portion to hold their keeper pins - or even better, their Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom cards. It's zippered, so they could even stick a gift card inside. And of course, the reason for the pouch - It has the vinyl window to hold a GAC card. The vinyl window is semi-waterproof. I had so much fun creating this!

Yes, I am quoting myself...
I have a complaint, so now I am going to vent. Yet again, I have had to remove half my pictures, because of my tags showing the name of my store. It is not my intention to do that. Each time I upload my photos, I edit them in Photobucket to block out my store name, but when I post them here, it doesn't show my edits. It is really frustrating to me, because I want to show everyone these pictures, but I don't want to get in trouble for "advertising"... So, in many cases - I have to remove pictures. Grrr... I am really getting frustrated with Photobucket.
I ADORE the GAC holder!
Perfect!
You outdid yourself... (of course now Mr D has informed me he thinks I should make him one...not gonna happen...LOL)
Nini
of course I am not going to say my normal comment when you post pictures....
I am glad you like it Nini... There are a few things I wish I could change, but because of the dimensions of the GAC, I can't really do that. I am debating on orientating the zipper to the side, but I am just not sure. Personally, I feel safer if it is upwards, just in case I leave it unzipped. But that side is wider... I dunno... I think maybe I can flip it, so the wider zipper is on top, and the vinyl portion on the back is still upwards... I still need to do a little playing with it. But I love how versitile it is, and I am super excited that it can be all boy too.
Love love love theGac holder. I so need one of these for ours. Your creativity amazes me.
I am glad you like it Chiara!
I spent most of my day in my sewing room yesterday. I was very happy to complete the GAC Pouch.
Josh made an amazing stew for dinner the other night... It was a Pork curry squash soup - it really hit the spot and it was very filling.
I am very fortunate that Josh is an excellent cook - even if he does use 2x more dishes than necessary.
We had a great dinner out with friends last night. We weren't out too late, but it was fun!
Today, it's really cold outside. The girls and I were contimplating going to Valleyfair with my BFF and her dd... We haven't decided if we want to freeze our behinds off (um 40+ deg today)... Our passes expire in a couple of weeks, and I'd really like to get a bit more use out of them. And if we get to that side of town, I can take my swim top back to Sears and have them take the security tag off of it - since the lady neglected to do that for me the other night.
If we don't go to VF... I will stay home and work on my SSP... I have this whole week to work on it, because this is techincally my "week off".
Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!

OK - maybe I am being a little dramatic... But when your mechanic calls you to tell you "it isn't good"... There's a bit of an adreneline rush. It wasn't just the brake pads (which weren't there anymore 
)... The rotors needed to be done too (we weren't expecting that). I was a bit 
after hearing that - considering I had just driven it 20 miles that morning. Thankfully - I was smart enough to take it slow (I am not a very fast driver anyways) and easy. The truck was at the mechanic's for the entire day, and I did not make it back home until 6pm. Thankfully it's done, and Josh will have a safe vehicle to drive.
I won't go into a lot of detail about what I bought... but there are a couple of great deals I'd like to share... 
scared
! I like the zipper being on the top, I'd probably be one to leave it unzipped and lose everything in it! So, this is not the super secret project, huh? Can't wait to see what that is
