Christian Eclectic Homeschool Mom of Three - Swim Gear to Feel Good About

Thursday, March 15, 2007 - Swim Gear to Feel Good About

Hi, Friends!

If you're like me, you are on a constant hunt for decent, modest clothes for your children. Sometimes, when it comes to swimwear, that hunt becomes more of a "jungle safari".

My safari has taken me to a website that offers patterns for sewing your own and some that have very modest but very pricey swimwear. However, I have to share that I think I found something that fits my tastes without completely emptying my pockets: www.landsend.com/kids .

This season, they are selling coverups that are quick drying: for boys and girls. They even have swim-capris!

Okay, here is where you'll be disappointed. I have no idea how to place photos on this site (LOL!), but use your imagination and picture it will me: I got quick-dry shorts for dd (she already had a swimsuit) and a cover up (which is like a mock turtleneck t-shirt) with matching swim trunks for oldest ds.

Landsend.com's service has been excellent. I placed my first order online. We tried matching the colors of the coverup with a pair of tie-dye swim trunks. No match. They allow you to return your unwanted items at any Sears location for free or you can use their return label for a small fee. Then, they sent me an email acknowledging my return and allowing me to reorder with *free shipping* (yippee!). Okay. I'm sold.

You MUST learn to post pics!
Once you have the pics on your computer...
go to photobucket. Set up a free account. Upload photos. After your pics are uploaded and you are able to view them...check the box of the pics you want on your blog, scroll down. click generate html code and 'copy' (right click on mouse) . At your bog's control panel, click source on the toolbar and 'paste'
(right click mouse). click on source again. You should now see your picture!

Thanks Keri,

I agree with you 100%. I'm so glad you told me how to do it. I'm going to give it a try and if folks actually see pics on this blog -- they'll have you to thank.

Thanks for the tip on Land's End. I got sidetracked from kid's to women's suits and was pleasantly surprised by some of the offerings. High necklines and skirt ensembles were well represented, and the word "modest" was liberally sprinkled about. Too bad they don't have maternity ;-)
