cam: one-piece suit pursuit

It is freaking cold. Like so cold. Like I'm starting to get really angry about everyday, having to wrap my infinity scarf around my neck, stacking it up so it reaches my eyes and wearing my hair a certain way so I don't look like a hairless man while wearing a hat. I know it's only January and in Boston we have at least 2-3 more months of this 16 feels like -1 business, but I can't take it anymore.

Lucky for me, I am headed to the US Virgin Islands over Presidents Weekend. Sounds really extravagant I know but there are direct flights from Boston to St. Thomas for a really reasonable price on JetBlue so, step off it. After I booked this ticket I naturally began online shopping for USVI outfits. And I'm kind of really into finding a great, flattering, strapless black one-piece. I'm getting sick of how unflattering and ill-fitting most bikinis are these days and am looking for a change. I haven't owned a one-piece since my middle school swim team days (go CSC Stingrays!) but now I'm back in the market. I saw this one while cruising the Madewell site and am obsessed:

I love the back! When I saw that it was Mara Hoffman, it made me want it even more. My friend Hannah always talks about the things she would do or buy "if she was Taylor Swift", which pretty much just means if she had all the money in the world. So if I was Taylor Swift, I would buy this suit and everything else Mara Hoffman creates. Her style is so bright and fun with these modern geometric patterns. Her stuff's is a bit pricey so I've resorted to only looking not touching...most of the time. Confession: last summer I splurged on one of her dresses to wear to my sister's wedding rehearsal dinner. I love it so much and am always trying to find opportunities to wear it again. Definitely worth it:

Annnnyways, since unfortunately that perfect black suit is almost $200, it's back to the drawing board/more online shopping. Anyone have any suggestions for where I can find a black strapless one-piece?
