Bikini Budget

Spring is nearly in full force and summer is right around the corner, so of course, it is just about time to go on the bikini lookout. In my youth, I was crazy for any bikini I saw in a Victoria's Secret catalog, and lets face it if I wasn't turning into an adult and watching my spending habits, I would still look there. Even so, after the collection I had built up of decorative and favorable suits, this year simplicity is in the air.

Here are a few favorable places I have found bikins that were not only inexpensive, but fit well...

Old Navy
My favorite part about old navy, since it is a sister store of the GAP and Banana Republic, is that almost every item in the store is clean cut and simple. Amongst an array of bikinis I had seen in the store were some hot pink two pieces, a simple black two piece(now in my possession), and some cute simple patterns. The black bikini I had purchased fit my body better than most I own from Victoria's Secret and it rang up and a lovely 26 dollars!






Venus
I am not completely cheap, so I am adding this one for the quality of your swim wear. This is a company that specializes in swim wear, so you can be assured that the options are endless and that the suit will last a long time. Some have patterns, others are Rhine stone embellished and the greater majority will cost less than 80 dollars. Also, you can shop by style, color, or print.

Target
Stepping away from the simple, and more towards the colorful and inexpensive is targets lovely colllection of bathing suits. Seeing how a lot of designers have carried lines over to the store, there are some quality suits amongst the bunches. Most of the bathing suits there will ring up under 40 dollars, and as most of us know, there are little accesories available to complement the suit if your budget has more room.
