Swimsuit advice

Okay, I need like an 8 hour day literally to go shopping for a swimsuit and I never can find that amount of time. I was out shopping for 3.5 hours on Sunday, but looked at other stuff instead of swimsuits. I should have focused on the suit instead. Anyways, I think I'm going to order a suit from Victoria Secrets and pray that I like it. I couldn't decide so I had Dh pick one and this is the one he picked (see attached below) and he liked it in that salmon-y color. What do you think? Will that color look good on my pasty white body and will that style? I was sort of shocked at what he picked out. I was thinking something a bit different, but since I'm trying to go outside my "box" I thought, well maybe. Please, I need honest opinions. Also does anyone know if you can return them if you don't like it - to the store even?

ETA: Obviously I don't look hot like the model nor have her bod in any way shape or form.

SHow us the one you like on VS??

DOH - the pic didn't come up for me - but I see it now

Well I liked several. Ok, let me go see. Course I have to be honest I don't look good in a swimsuit at all. Really I don't.

Oh, ok. Now it's showing.

I think it is fabulous - and what a great color on you!

I think it's great!!!

I like it.

I think it will look great on you.

very cute! your gonna look amazing!

me personally i have serious bum bum issues so i avoid bathing suits at all costs

Thanks ladies. I ended up ordering 3 or 4 (can't remember now) different ones. Hopefully I got the size right and one of them works. I'll just send the others back.

Happymom I have serious bum bum issues which is why I hate wearing bathing suits. I'm going on a mini vacation with a friend sometime this summer and I want to look half way decent. Otherwise I'd just wear the old ratty looking suits I have at home already.

I like it, especially the color!

I tried on a million BS this last weekend too and had a hard time. I'm thinking of just biting the bullet and buying from VS too. I actually tried one on that was very similar to the one you have in the picture and almost bought it. The only thing that held me back is that it didn't have a ton of support in the boob area, I think I may need underwire. Since my boobs are small, it felt like it was going to ride up, kwim? But I loved the tie front and the thinner straps like the one in the picture. So many suits have the halter top style these days and although I like them, there is almost too much coverage in the strap area for me. So I like the thinner straps personally. I really like the color too Karen! I bet it will look great! Good choice!

ETA: Did you find out if you can return them? I have a couple that I'm thinking of buying from VS, but won't do it unless I can return.
