I am in need of a new swimsuit. I don't use mine very often, but I haven't had a new one in years and the old two are getting a little worn. Trouble is, the suits in style nowadays are terrible! I don't feel comfortable in a bikini. I have two tankini's and I'm over them -- I want a one-piece. I've tried Target, Nordstrom, GAP, VS, American Eagle... and I'm not sure where else.
The Gateway is one of my favorite places in the world. Yes, the WHOLE WORLD! I like that I get to walk around outside, I like the displays, I like that there aren't a ton of middle-of-the-walkway booths, I love the selection of stores, and best of all:
The fountains are awesome. I wish I was a kid so I could run around in the fountain without raising eyebrows (next time one of you goes with your kids, will you invite me?). Once I was walking past and a bunch of high school kids started singing "Do You Hear the People Sing" from Les Miserables in the middle of that fountain. It was awesome! It's a magical place for me.
Oh, and now I'm going to rant about salesmen: After events on Friday and Saturday I am SICK of people not listening when I tell them I'm not interested something extraneous they want me to buy. Everyone from salespeople to credit card companies to my university decided to inundate me with "investment opportunities" on the same two days. I started crying during one -- man, did that girl feel guilty. I was just so frustrated and tired of it! I don't like being rude to people but they practically give me no choice! I said "No" politely four times to the guy at the GAP before I finally acted like a jerk and he backed off. Pushy people -- good at their jobs, but bad for my self-esteem.
...Anyway, just for fun I tried on some crazy bikinis at Victoria Secret. Surprisingly, I didn't look half bad. I was helped by some awesome lighting, because I went to Nordstrom later to try on suits and my legs looked TERRIBLE! But I felt good about myself at VS, though I didn't buy anything. Obviously, they are aware that people want to think they look good in the clothes they are interested in purchasing.
I failed to find a suit on Saturday. Instead, I found a great pair of jeans, shorts, a cute t-shirt, and a great swimsuit cover-up (which was on sale for less than $10 -- boo-yah!):

Long story short (too late!) does anyone know where I can find cute one-piece swimsuits?

I just bought a new suit at JCPenney, although it is a two-piece tankini/skirt combo. They did have some one-piece suits, but I didn't look too closely. Have you tried Kohls?
Just a word of warning, I know you already said you tried on suits at Target, but DON'T buy a suit at Target. I bought my last two there, one of which was a maternity suit and didn't get worn very often, and both of them wore out way before I think they should have. I mean, the elastic was totally stretched out over the bust area. Not cool.
Good luck!
my friend found a very cute one online. i went swim suit hunting with her and she could not find one! we found a couple some place but they were no good..so she had to get one online.. i gave up and i have a two piece and just wear a tank on top. much luck on your search
Funny you ask... someone at work had that dilema and said she found 10 different swimsuites she LOVED at the Sears at Jordan Landing. I hope that helps. ? . let me know...
Good suggestions -- thanks ladies! I'll check those out this week and keep you posted.
