fashion sunday, swimsuit Help

So the mom in me is saying I need a one piece option as far as swimwear goes. Well, to be honest, it's the stomach pooch that is speaking a little louder, forcing me to listen up.

I think I have it narrowed down to two...but I need advice and quick!

Which one do you like better?

This cute ruffle tankini from The ModBod, but in black:

Or this polka dot one piece from Retro Dress, only in black with white dots.

Here's my thought process. The ruffles hide the tummy pooch quite well, especially on a day where I've consumed much to much chocolate or other said junk items.

But on the other side...the polka dot one is so retro and different. I just worry about my pooch.

Decisions, decisions.

Help a girl out, would ya?

I love the first one. I saw a similar rendition @ Nordi's. Love it ♥ Check out my giveaway!

Foursons said...

I'm going with the first one, 'cause the polka-dot one is cut way to low for my thighs. It would not be flattering on me at all. Now from the pictures I've seen you have fantastic thighs, but I'd still go with #1.

Now, are you going to post a picture of yourself wearing the winner once you get it?

Amber said...

I love the first, plus black is way slimming :)

Trudy said...

#1..not because I truly believe you need to be considered about a pooch (unless it's a four-legged one) but because I think it just screams 'Summer' AND summer!

Laura said...

I LOVE the second one! It's retro, yet fresh and fun all rolled into one... and what else does one need other than that! I'm thinking a little pouch would be hidden by the runching across the middle area. Wow I am so loving it that as I write I am thinking I just might have to get me one!!!

Amber, That's Me! said...

Love both, but ... oh, I can't decide. they are both cute.

Lace said...

Ohhh I love them both! I think number one seems more "Summer" though! Also, I think it would look cute to just throw on some shorts/jeans/skirt with it when you leave the pool or beach without looking trashy!

Jill Pilgrim said...

I am totally in love with the second one! I think I may actually buy it- love!

BeLoVed AiMeE said...

I'm not really feelin the top one. It looks more like a shirt to me than a bathing suit. I really like the second one. I think you could rock it and the scrunchy part over the abdomen would hide you so called pooch :P

AmandaSue said...

Both super cute swimsuits but I like the first one, I love ruffles in general so I think its cute! Good luck deciding though!

Sweet Home Amy said...

I really love the second one!!

Rachel said...

My vote is definitely for the polka dot one. I hear where you're coming from with the pink one, but the polka dots are SO much cuter. Pretty much 1000 times cuter. :)

Jen said...

I like the polka dot one. It is so cute. It is my opinion but I think the ruffles are a bit much.

Dreamgirl said...

Polkadots!

My favorite right now is this one:

I think the first one is just adorable!

Mommy In Pink said...

Oh My Goodness...I LOVE the pink one...too cute for words! I've always been a bikini kind of girl..but i would totally wear the pink one! Go for it! You'd look totally cute in any of them though! Good luck!

Tim said...

Summer,

Just to give you a guys opinion (not that you want it) but I like the second one. Love the polka dots and the retro look!

Love and Prayers,

Tim

Stephanie said...

I can see you in either, they are both great choices. I vote for the first one, though.

{Kiki} said...

i love the first one, but in pink. however, the style now is retro which is the polka-dots. i would go with the polka-dots. i love the style too. i think the ruffles will add volume to your mid-section. take care and i hope you find the right one.

Becky said...

I love the 2nd one. Too Stinkin cute!

Lacey said...

Oh... I can't decide! They're BOTH so awesome, can't you just get two? :-)

Really though, if it were me, I'd go with the second one in a heartbeat. I'm not a huge ruffles fan, so I'm probably biased... but seriously, does it actually get any better than polka dots?!

Mama Kat said...

A.) you don't have a pooch.

B.) Retro fo sho.

Rose said...

okay...I have a pooch. three c-sections and turned 40 this year. Iwould be afraid the ruffles would make me look fluffier, so I would go for the second because it is kind of scrunchy (around the middle) which kind of hides the pooch. I am always on the look out to hide the pooch. and its cute.

Ashleigh said...

I am not really a fan of the first but LOVE the second! It looks like it has a ruched effect at the stomach which is great for hiding a little tum ;)....I say the second!!

Candice said...

Retro for sure, but they are both cute.

I think the first one would look odd when wet.

Deanne said...

If anyone could pull off the ruffled suit it would be you! :) oh, and I just saw yesterday that Costco has Modbe in stock right now!! (at the carmel mountain store)

Ali said...

They're both adorable. Buuuut...I'm going with numero dos...it's amazing and I know you'd rock it like ya do.

Holly said...

retro!

shortmama said...

Love the second one! I think you totally have the legs to pull it off! Such a cute look.

Reluctant Housewife said...

Get 'em both. That's my advice. :)

They're both great - so unique and stylish.

crazylovescompany said...

I vote for the second one in all its retro-ness. I have trouble seeing the first one on anyone unless they are very tall and slim. If you are, then totally do it. You could rock the ruffles.
