Water, Water Everywhere!


Photo from here.
So, it is that time of year again - beach and pool time! (At least down here in Georgia it is...) I ordered what I thought to be the cutest swimsuit EVER from Victoria's Secret last week - PINK & SPARKLES...need I say more?!  I was shocked that it was on my doorstep not even a week later.  I must say I was very impressed by their speedy delivery!  Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the swimsuit itself.  The catalog photo made the swimsuit look hot pink and awesome.  The swimsuit was neon pink (making it look cheap-ish) in real life.  This is the second time I've ordered a swimsuit and the color has been misrepresented in the catalog photos.  My friend Pam said this has happened to her before when she bought a mint green suit from VS too.  Unlike last time, I will be returning it!  Question for online shoppers - Do I have to return the beach bag I got for free with my purchase?  I think I should get to keep it since they are not refunding the $10.99 I originally paid for shipping + I have to pay another $5.99 to return the swimsuit...geez!  I could've purchased a whole swimsuit from Target for $17!


Speaking of Target, I will be making a stop there tonight to pick up some essentials for a bedroom makeover.  I also found these pool/beach essentials on the site today...I might have to purchase them as well.  How cute are those towels?!  And, that swimsuit is a dead ringer for the one I purchased at VS...for half the price might I add!

  2. We're far from pool weather & no beaches are nearby, but we did just get a season pass to the indoor pool on base! All my suits have always come from Target... I love them! (And when you find them on clearance, even better! Hint: They almost always have suits on clearance!)

    1. Target is always awesome! I don't know why i strayed to VS. It's kind of tradition that I get a Target suit for my birthday actually, but I didn't get one this year.
