Conning the swimsuit conundrum

Not to be so easily defeated, I tried another tactic to acquire an end-of-season swimsuit. I found a department store with an entire rack of swim apparel odds and ends. Mismatched, mixed size, to be sure, but an entire carousel of them, all 75% off.

It was a victory of sorts. I found bottoms which would accommodate mine, although the little shorts are an XL and the skirt is a medium, and I think my size is more true to an XMed, but alas, that size doesn't exist. Same designer label, but now that one of them was $8 and the other $11, I brought both of them home.

Who knows? Next year I may find their tops.
