Frugal Friday - Swimwear Edition

Today's Frugal Friday brings you something to spice up your summer - swimwear. Nothing like laying by the pool or hitting the beach when the temps reach 90. Yes, it's been super hot here in Chicago and I'm experiencing a shortage of swimwear. And for being made of such little cloth, it's amazing how much swimsuits cost. But today on Frugal Friday I'm bringing you swimwear for $50ish and under. So treat your sexy beach bod, these suits are a steal.

Beach Getaway Shopping

So, as I do around this time of year, I've decided I need to get away to some place warm, some place with beaches, some place with expensive shopping. So the hubs and I are jetting off to Miami this week.


The trip was a little last minute, but that doesn't mean that I don't have time to order things and get overnight shipping.

Clearly all I want are dresses. First I thought short and flirty, but casual: Amanda Uprichard, $192

But then I started wandering towards maxis. Nothing says beach getaway like a maxi dress

Milly, $435

Diane von Furstenberg, $465

Diane von Furstenberg, $285

ADAM, was $595, sale $178.50

So many options, so little time. I need to order something ASAP!!
