Last weekend, I decided to head over to the mall after work to invest in a little retail therapy, and the first thing to catch my eye was the dazzling assortment of this year’s swimsuits on display. More specifically, it was the brightly colored string bikinis tied around the faceless, limbless, oatmeal-colored mannequins suspended from the ceiling that caught my eye. The plastic torsos were designed with the perfect measurements and womanly proportions in mind — at least according to conventional standards — and they were rocking those ruffled bikinis.
