Faded Glory Tankinis

If you are looking for affordable swimwear for the Summer, check out Wal-Mart. Not only are they budget-friendly swimwear, they’re cute too. As a matter of fact, 2 of my tankinis were from Wal-Mart.

These are just a few of tankinis posted at Wal-Mart’s online store. I’ve seen quite a few cute ones from the store itself actually. These tankinis are $24 each. You can also buy them separately to pair it with different designs. Like I’ve said before, I love tankinis because I’m able to hide my stretch marks.

Are You Ready For The Beach?

Dexie Wharton — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 14:49:12 +0000

No matter how much I have been craving for the warm weather to wear cute, colorful, and refreshing clothes I’m really not ready for the beach yet. I still need to tone areas (notice I didn’t say “few”) of my body. But every time I visit online stores the first thing the greets me on the front pages are 2-piece bikinis. Instead of getting pissy at them, I decided to consider them as wake-up calls.

Here are my early picks of swimwear from Forever21 and Dillard’s.

Purple Stud Trim Bikini

Purple Stud Trim 2-piece bikini. Top and Bottom are $12.95 each. Of course I’ll have to get mine in a bigger size than the model because I am much more endowed and curvaceous than her .

Hermanny Tankini

Hermanny Navy Blue Tankini, $94(Top), $86(Bottom). This is a little more expensive than I want but it’s just an example. I love tankinis because it hides the stretch marks I’ve gained from having 2 babies.

These are just my early swimwear choices. I’ll post more about this topic in the coming months. So, are you ready for the Beach?

Maternity Swimwear : 2-Piece Halter Tankinis

Dexie Wharton — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 14:12:34 +0000

3 years ago, around this time around, I was pregnant with my second child. There’s nothing worse than 100° heat while carrying a baby inside of you. It was hot as hell. Summer means swimming season too which worked out perfectly for me as it turned out coz I swam a lot for my pregnancy exercise. I didn’t do much walking like I did with my 1st child. Swimming, minimally of course (no diving) is a great way to exercise while pregnant, plus it’ll cool you off. Of course, you also need a good maternity swimwear. Swimwear alone is expensive, maternity clothes are even more expensive. Combine the two and it kinda put a damper on the whole Summer. That’s exactly how I felt at that time. Thankfully, my sister-in-law who’s been pregnant 4 times wouldn’t have it. She dragged me to the Outlets and long story short, that’s my belly (and boobs, hehe) in a Motherhood gingham Maternity tankini .

If you’re not willing to spend the Motherhood price, I found a few affordable maternity swimwear to pick from at WalMart.

Check them out after the fold…

Catalina 2-piece Halter Tankini, $19

Catalina 2-piece Halter Print Tankini, $19

Catalina 2-piece Halter O-Ring Tankini, $19

Don’t let the price discourage you from getting that swim this Summer. It’ll be all worth it trust me. I’d recommend a swim instead of walking on a 98° to 100° weather anytime. I don’t know if it’s any consolation to anyone but both of my pregnancy labors were too easy. On my first 1, I walked a lot in the afternoon. It was Winter in Virginia, which didn’t really give us snow. My labor was only 4 hours. My second one, albeit I had to be induced, once it started, it went like a breeze. My Doctor praised me for being a pro even though I’ve only pushed babies twice in my life, LOL. I don’t know if it’s because I really am a pro at labor or because I exercised during both of my pregnancies. Don’t take my word on that though. Consult your Doctor first .

By the following year, I was wearing a different tankini. Check it out from Burning The Scale .
