I posted in Travel that I am leaving on Tuesday for several days in Puerto Rico (DH has to go there for work). DH told me to treat myself to a new bathing suit; it's been over six years since I bought one.
I'm heading out tomorrow to see what's available. I've never shopped for a suit in January; does anyone know who might be carrying suits this time of year? I'm assuming they must be available somewhere for the winter vacationers...?

There's this store at a mall near me called Everything but Water, they have a ton of stores across the US- http://www.everythingbutwater.com/locations.html maybe there is one near you.

i ditto everythingbutwater.
i bought one there once during a random non-swimsuit time of year!
have fun in PR! i go to the Bahamas next week for work! must be that time of year...
Thanks, ladies! I had no idea Target would have suits out so early. They are on my "errand list" for tomorrow, so I'll check there before hitting the mall.
I forgot about the Everything But Water stores. Thanks for the reminder!

Hi sydney, online won't help as we leave Tuesday morning. I don't need one so badly as to pay for 2-day shipping. :)
I checked at Target today and I guess they don't think anyone ever needs an underwire top?! Nothing but soft cups, and those will only make me look totally floppy. I didn't get a chance to go anywhere else today - was running errands all day! - but will try again on Monday, when I don't have as much scheduled. I'll go in the a.m. and do my packing Monday night.

I've always had good luck with JCrew suits, but now that I think of it, they might have a limited selection in their stores. But if you're at a mall with a JCrew, it's probably worth a look.
Anyway, have fun in PR! I'd love to go there.
ETA: How about Nordstrom? Don't they always have a swimsuit department?
Ditto on Target & Everything But Water. I thought I saw some @ Macy's the other day, but don't rule out ON (online). Not sure if you have a PacSun near you, but they tend to have suits year-round IME.
If all else fails, just buy one when you get there. Places near the beach usually have a larger selection, so while it sucks to have to kill a little beach time looking for a suit, you'll probably find the perfect one.
