You could also try J Crew online (www.jcrew.com). Believe it or not, they have bathing suits in their WINTER SALE section, some as cheap as $9.99 for a top and $9.99 for a bottom!!!!!!! With regular Priority mail shipping you'll get in about 4 days or you could also express ship it.

Ginger: No Target! But K-Mart may have some, although 90% seems to be Christmas decorations right now! Magen's Bay Boutique and Morning Star Beach Shop both come to mind, but they are going to be a bit pricier.

Try Keep Left or Captain Nautica in Red Hook. Also if you're in Havensight there are several shops there. Many of them have more styles in misses sizes as opposed to junior sizes. The shop at Magen's Bay has a good selection but in my opinion are expensive.

thanks! will try em all if not a tee shirt and shorts will do it!

There is a great place in STT/Charlotte Amalie....someone is going to have to help me with the name though...Swim something?.its down one of the alleyways - I think where Banco Popular is on the corner. Its on the west side as you walk north. There's a little bar in the same alley. Prices do run around $60 and higher. They have 100s of styles, colors, prints: one piece, two piece, regular cut, conservative cut, french cut, thong. Neon or pastel, animal print, flowers, stripes, plain. You can "mix sizes" (if your bottom is different size than your top) so that any body-type can find a suit that looks great!

I have no skin in their business at all -- except for the skin I slip into the suit I bought there last season. My best friend has a really tough time finding a suit for her buxom figure - she found several suits to choose from.

Anyway, another option is Victoria Secret. www.victoriassecret.com. No kidding. They have a great line of good quality swimwear.

Hey Ginger,

Lord and Taylor has bathing suits.I was out today and quite surprised to see them. Many people cruise and vacation in warm climates in the winter. I didn't check prices but if you are out
shopping, check them out.

Have a fun vacation.
