Ed. Obsession Under $20: Itsy bitsy patterned bikini

Check these out, too...

  • Ed. Obsession: INTERN TAKEOVER: Muscle Tees Under $20
I’ve searched high and low for a sweet swimsuit this season—even starting as far back as March, when we began getting in mountains of suits in our fashion closet. I’m pretty picky when it comes to prints—I don’t wear them that often, so they have to be just right.

 

Now that the swim sales are underway, I’ve got my eye on this bitty printed bandeau bikini from Target—at just $28 for the set, it’s a total steal. I’m in love with the zany chevron-and-stripes pattern that’s sure to make my (faint!) tan pop. With a hint of trendy neon and a flash of pink, it’s the perfect mix of pretty and crazy. Just what I was looking for!

my mom wont let me wear a bikini till im like 16 and im almost 14 now, i feel like a little kid when i wear tankinis even if it looks like an older kid swimsuit. shes just concerned that guys will look at me more and ive tried convincing her its fine but she wont give in! HELP!

 

Hey chica!  Your mom's rules have to be followed.  Why not try a cute one piece?  They can look super sophisticated, so you won't feel like a little kid!  xoxo
