I love Summer! I am definitely a warm weather girl (good thing because I live in South Louisiana). From swimming to sunbathing, iced tea to Popsicles, I adore the summer months. Actually, there are only three things that I am less than thrilled about:

1. My tummy
2. My thighs
3. My tummy and thighs in a swimsuit.

A swimsuit is a necessary evil for the Summer around here and ever since having my two daughters, swimsuit shopping has been a less than pleasurable experience. I feel like I spend a crazy amount of money for something I am not 100% completely happy with purchasing.

Enter Land’s End. I have been a customer of Land’s End Kids for a while now, but never really paid attention to all of the swimsuit options available for women. Land’s End generously allowed me to browse the collection and find a swimsuit to flatter my figure. After looking at the amazing selection, I was sure I could find something!

First of all, they have a fit for every body type including petite and plus size women.  Next, you can select one of many styles such as mix and match separates, tankinis, one piece suits and suits for women who have had a mastectomy.   Want to enhance your bust?  Try an uplifting V-neck tankini!  Want to minimize the tummy?  Try the TrimLine selection of suits!  Want to hide your thighs?  Try a SwimMini!  Are you a serious swimmer?  Check out the Aquaterra line!

I was amazed at how Land’s End addressed just about every “problem zone” and designed swimsuits that women would be proud to wear and flaunt on the beach (without breaking the bank)!  I finally selected the Women’s Beach Living Tummy Control SwimMini and the Beach Living Island Dots Scoopneck Swim Top.  I have to say that I was dreading putting this on and taking a picture to be displayed on the website, but I actually LOVE this suit.  I feel like it covers the areas I am not thrilled with and enhances the ones I like.

Here’s the pic….please be nice….LOL!

The material is very soft and the fit was perfect!  I can definitely feel the Tummy Control in the bottoms, but it is not too tight.  The top is lined and has an underwire shelf bra, so I feel totally covered and supported.

I would definitely wear this suit with confidence at the beach or pool.  Land’s End really made the shopping experience much less painful (dare I say…fun?!?) than usual!  Check out the new Land’s End Island where you can shop for a new swimsuit in an island paradise.  This site allows you to mix and match all the styles and see what they look like before buying!
