Shopping

[PSDave]

I got it basically because of the fabric. I touched it and was in love. I had seen it earlier in the season at Saks and passed due to cost. However, the cut and the fit are perfect and really shows off the hard work I had put in on the tan and body. The one I got is a contoured bikini cut. Fit just like it was custom made for me. When I saw the sale price I jumped on it. As far as the name tags -- there was a brass buckle like emblem sewn on at the waist that I have removed. I bought it for the fit and quality, not to impress. At this point, the only place the name is present is on the tag inside. Actually, I'd be embarrassed to have people think I would drop $200 bucks on a swim suit., the discount price was a reasonable price. When I shop for anything I look first for quality & style then price. If I like it and the price is ok, I buy it -- if the price is too high, I wait for a sale or search it out elsewhere. I never buy because of a name. (they pay millions to put their names on race cars so why should I walk around with their name on my clothes for nothing?)The only exception is Ralph Lauren and Hugo Boss - their suits fit my body. Even then I wait for a sale.
