Two years ago, when ds was nursing constantly, I bought a tankini from Land's End overstocks. At the time, the top was a bit loose on me and the bottoms fit perfectly- as I'd purchased the bottoms to fit and I wanted the top looser fitting for easier nursing. I ended up pulling the bustline down for nursing rather than lifting the bottom up, and found that I didn't like the way the tankini kept exposing my belly.

Well, I've gained some weight since then. The bottoms don't fit me at all, but I've "grown into" the top. Last summer, I ended up wearing an old suit (one piece swimdress) I bought before I got pg with ds- it's kind of wearing out, but since I don't do much swimming, I could probably get another summer (or two) out of it.

Land's end now has the swim mini's on sale for $15 (plus shipping) and they have my size in stock (or at least they did this morning ) I'm wondering if it's worth it to buy it. On the one hand, for $15 I'll have a practically brand new suit, since the top has gotten very little wear. On the other hand, I really don't like tankinis. Also, if I just wear my old suit I can spend $0 on swimsuits this summer.
