I Blew It!

I have been sweating this one piece bathing suit from J Crew for months now. As we move into spring, I have officially become obsessed with all things striped. And, let's be serious, I kind of want to become the model in this photo. Can't you see her putting on a white, gauzy cover-up and then going to sip glasses of rose at a beachside restaurant on the French riveria? Since I, too, do that all the time, I knew I had to have this bathing suit.

However, I was a little torn about ordering a one piece (does wearing one make me officially old?), so I held off for a bit to think about it. Huge mistake! I went to pull the trigger yesterday and it was sold out. Today, there are a few sizes available, but not mine. I snoozed and lost!!
