I’m still not convinced swimsuits need to cost hundreds of dollars. I mean, isn’t trying on suit after suit in front of one of those fun house mirrors in the fitting room enough humiliation? Obviously not, because some stores want you to fork over a large fraction of your summer fun money for a few inches of fabric. I’m guessing the expense is in the construction of the bathing suit. But this summer, give those hoity-toity retailers the finger, and pick up a swimsuit for less than $60. Yes, you read that right. Sixty smackers.
