Candy Stripes on the Beach

Shopping for bathing suits in the winter can be quite a steal, if you look in the right places. I found a cute candy stripe 2-piece by Esprit. Usually stripes is not a good idea since horizontal lines can make you look wider than you like, but this particular style was done quite smartly. It alternates shades of pink with red, white and black stripes. The stripes are vertical rather than horizontal and the trim is diagonal to give a shapely illusion. I tried to find it online for you, I don't see it. However, if you're up for some German, you can check out the Esprit online store for casual browsing: http://www.esprit-online-shop.com/index_uk.htm
