So whilst looking on the Next website at their new summer swimwear collection it soon changed from browsing to basket clicking.
I've been after a swimsuit ever since seeing Amanda Seyfried in Mamma mia rocking her little, navy one-piece. So after some searching I went with this pretty floral number. I didn't want one with any cut outs or holes; just a traditional swim cozzie that also had the cool factor.
One thing that i found off putting about swimsuits is sizing. I'm not blessed on the bust front, but have ample squidge on my derrière! I found Nexts' size 10 a little too snug on the bottom so had to return it for a perfect size 12. (There's nothing worse than bum bulge!) The top wasn't too loose, thank goodness, because by this point I loved the cozzie and would have been very sad to return it again.
But swimsuits do gain points for practicality when going a little mental on the water flumes and rapids! A lost bikini bottom at Centre Parcs is worse than heavy petting in the pool.
I do get bikini bottoms in a size 12 too, and did purchase this reasonably priced, striped set, also from Next.
My friend Annabel and I were talking about our love of Next and were saying do we love it so because we're getting older or have next really improved? A bit of both maybe, but I definitely think the latter.
Now where's that sun?
