It's the ongoing debate - one piece or two? I like a one piece - it makes playing with your child easy and you don't risk over expsoing yourself. But they can be a bit...mommy-ish. A two piece seems more age appropriate. But a two piece is tricky - The Bug pulls the top down, the bottoms ride up, I accidentally flash the life guard. Sigh.
Here are few picks that meet my definition of a mom-friendly suit.
I have to say, Anthropologie has a lot of great suits this year. Like this one by Saha. A wider halter strap, lots of coverage on the bottoms and a gorgeous purple color.
How ah-dorable is this striped Old Navy suit?? I love the style of the bodice and the keyhole for a bit of sexy...and at $29.50? I'll take two please.
Loving both of these options from Boden. Even the name is perfect - The Chic Swimsuit and The Chic Bikini. I like the draping on the top and again, a little more coverage on the bottom. Comes in four fun colors - black, iris, lagoon, poppy. (Poppy and Lagoon shown above.) If you haven't already done so, check out Mini Boden for your toddlers - kid-friendly prints, saturated colors, high quality.
Moms - what do you wear to the pool?
I've never owned a one-piece but am on the hunt for one so I can be more appropriate in the tater tot's swim lessons. I'm in love with this one:

But not really wanting to spend almost $200 on a suit. Have you seen anything similar with a nicer price tag?
Actually, yes. J Crew is a good source for cute stripe, deep v, retro leg. Check out: Cape Stripe Tank and Ticker Stripe Halter. Their Ruched Femme Tank is very, very flattering, but not the stripe of the Jets suit. Also, Macy's Tommy Hilfiger: http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ogncID=516940&CategoryID=8699&LinkType=#fn=SWIM_STYLE%3DOne Piece%26sp%3D1%26spc%3D63. That's a hard suit to knock off! S
