The Nightmare Of Bathing Suit Shopping

Ways to make bathing suit shopping a little bit less of a nightmare:

Do...
- Shop with your body shape in mind.
- Bring a close friend with you if you need a second opinion.
- Get a spray tan before shopping -- nothing is worse than trying on suits when you're feeling pasty white.
- Make sure the suit fits properly. If your top is too big, it won't do your breasts justice, and if your bottoms are too small, it'll cut into your side...not a good look.
- Look in a three-way mirror so you can check out your backside
- Choose a color or print that flatters your skin tone, hair, and eye color.
- Shop online (if the suits are returnable) so you can try them on in the comfort of your own home.

Dont...

- Go bathing suit shopping on a full stomach.
- Berate yourself or fixate on what's 'wrong' with your body
- pay attention to the entire package.
- Don't forget that flourescent lights never do you justice.
- Dont pay attention to the size of the suit. Most bathing suits run particularly small.
