Woohoo! I won my new bathingsuit!

[leavitt1]

Hello all,

 

I've never posted in this area of the board before, but I coudn't resist sharing my great deal. I just won a brand new with tags $130 miraclesuit on ebay for $41! Now I have to hold my breath and hope it fits. :eek:

My only other concern is that I read a thread on here that said a black bathingsuit will attract the sun, and I'll fry in the carribean...Is it really that bad? Does a black suit guarantee a burn? I'm not a small woman, so the black suit really is more flattering for me...

 

 

Thanks,

Michelle

Congrats! That is a super cute suit! Not sure about black attracting the sun (though I've heard about about black t-shirts vs white t-shirts...that you'll feel hotter), but I have 6-7 bathing suits, two of which are black in different styles. I have not ever felt more warm/hot in them than in my other suits. If you plan to be in the pool or on the beach, then it shouldn't matter, right? You'll be able to cool off in the water anyway!

 

Nice win! $41 is a steal!

Yay! Good for you! I'm sure you'll LOOK hot in your new swimsuit, but temperature wise you should be OK. ;)

I won a nice suit on ebay also. Mine though was an $100 suit with tags but I only paid $25 with shipping. It was a tropical tankini with a great bra in it.

 

congrats!

Congrats on the great price on a great looking swim suit. It's cute and sexy. I have several black suits, I've never noticed being hotter in them than any other suit.

 

Enjoy wearing it!!

That's a great suit. You probably won't be any hotter than in another color suit.

That's about the cutest skirted suit I've seen in a good while!:)

I have never thought to buy a bathing suit on Ebay. The one you got is VERY cute. Now I have to go check Ebay for a suit for myself!

Daisy,

 

Your best bet is to look at the online sites for stores at which you normally shop. Find a suit that you like (or go to an actual store and try some on if you prefer) and then look on ebay or other sites with sales to get the price you want. I had heard about miraclesuit, researched, found this one which I really loved, but really didn't have $130+ to spend on a swimsuit. Low and behold, there it was on ebay for less than 1/3 of the price! :)

 

Good luck and happy shopping!:D

Cute suit and great deal! :)

 

The skirted suits are starting to grow on me.

 

Regardless of the color of the suit one should always use good sunscreen.

Don't ya just love it when you win on Ebay??!! :D

 

Cute swimsuit. :)

Really cute swimsuit and what a great price! I too read that board about black suits being hotter, I have never experienced this so I'm not sure if there's anything to it. Could be true, I guess I'll find out when I wear my suit.
