Well, Memorial Day has come and gone and that means one thing: summer is here. We’re starting a new feature here at BellaVitaStyle to help you get through the summer without breaking your budget (See the whole series here). Each week I’ll feature different beach basics (this week – bikinis!) that are both stylish and affordable. I’d love for you to share your favorites with us in the comments too. So get ready for the beach, because here come the bikinis! (And don’t worry, for those who prefer a bit more coverage other bathing suit options will be featured in the weeks to come.)
First, I have to share my personal favorite place to buy bathing suits with you – Victoria’s Secret. They always have a wide variety of suits in every color, shape, and size, and reasonable prices as well. If you’re not sure about the color or cut of the suit you want, just check out their mix and match options. Pick your top style and then chose a bottom to match – if you can ever decide, that is! VS also has the perfect string bikini, available in a bunch of colors and on sale right now for only $19 total. You can’t beat that, because everyone needs one of these in her beach wardrobe.
Let’s move on to another of my favorite places, Target. They also have plenty of affordable bikini options for the summer, like this adorable polka dot suit, or this white and gold string bikini. And, like before, the prices can’t be beat.
Delia’s also has a pretty good bathing suit selection. I think my favorite is this suit. The bandeau top is a great option for eliminating pesky tan lines, because the strap is removable. I also like this suit in black and white gingham – adorable! And the best part? Delia’s is having a sale too!
Recessionistas, what do you think? Can we get beach ready for under $50 a piece? What are your favorite summer deals? Let me know!
