The Budget Fashionista

I'm a pretty average sized gal, but I have stretch marks all over my tummy and upper thighs from my darling son. I am going on a vacation this summer at Martha's Vineyard with the inlaws. I want a suit that covers the ares mentioned above. But at the same time i only wiegh 120 and i am 5'4, i work hard to stay healthy and deserve to show a bit of unstretchmarked skin. i am perfectly content with my body, but i don't have the cojones to show off my stretch marks. I want a one piece that doesn't make me like like…. well, a mom. I remember looking at the retro swimsuits, (think marilyn monroe, bettie page) that still covered all the scary areas, but were still sexy. Where the heck do i find one, and is it even a good idea? I am not a huge fan of dressing into an era, but in this case they swimsuits were so pretty. I want some thing that will accentuate my body but still leave something to the imagination and not seem costumey… any ideas??

That bathing suit is adorable - would look especially cute with large Jackie-O style glasses! Why not go with the retro look all the way?

Thank You so much WillWork… Very cute, and covers the specifics. I do happen to own a pair of the Jackie O glasses too…. so Martha's Vineyard. They'll never know I'm from Indiana….
