I like the second one better. The first one screams stripper. Not that that's always a bad thing... but I wouldn't want my mother, boss or niece to catch me in it. And I think you'd have to have a pretty dark tan to pull it off, too.
I don't like the rectangle things. Are they plastic? It seems like they would rest against your body funny and be irritating. I don't think it looks sleazy just the rectangles wolud be annoying.
I don't think either bathing suit looks sleazy at all, but if I had to make a choice the blue one would be it. Except the black rectangle accents look like plastic to me.
I'm not into plastic things holding any of my clothing together, it kind of looks cheap to me. I have a hard time finding the Taget suits that don't have the plastic rings on them. I love the patterns of Target suits but hate the rings.
Well, i guess Im a total sleaze bag myself b/c i dont find that sleazy at all!! Only, I woudnt get it either b/c Ive had plastic involved in one of my swimsuits & it only lasted that season. The plastic just broke in half the next summer when i picked it up. Thats a whole nother story in itself.....
