jordanjordan, you have a ridiculously beautiful body! I am jealous.This being said, I think the second suit has a more flattering shape.
Aww thanks! I guess DF was right, then.

I agree !!jordanjordan, you have a ridiculously beautiful body! I am jealous.
Okay gals- I can't believe I am posting this and I will probably take it off very shortly, but does this bathing suit look bad on me? DF says it looks small (I will admit in the picture it is smashing my chest, I tied it a little too tight). I tried the bigger size and it was just too big. I think he is generally opposed to strapless swimwear on me because he says it looks weird and prefers a traditional bikini top. Any input??
It is not even funny how good you look! I think both suits look great on you. My ex-BF always hated strapless tops too - maybe it's a guy thing. If you're only keeping one suit, then keep the traditional one.
Thank you very much! Everyone here is too kind. I think maybe it is a guy thing too. My mom liked the strapless one better, and I definitely do. I'd like to keep them both but since I will probably end up wearing it less than 5 times this summer I think I can only do 1. Maybe I'll get the traditional one in a size smaller so it actually touches my chest (right now it is empty, I could put socks in there, haha) and get a more summery color.
Okay I stopped in Crew today. Normally I don't do well in-store because I need petite sizes but I lucked out today! 
Here's what I got:
Eyelet blazer in smoky graphite - this was a little too big on me because I really need a Petite 0 or 00, but it was soooo cute with the sleeves pushed up that I bought it anyway.

Swoop tee - this is shockingly cute. I got it in navy and white. It looks great on its own or under blazers. It's a nice fabric that's work appropriate although the white is too sheer for work.

I also got some sale stuff that's not worth listing. Overall I had a very fun and productive shopping day. Stopped at Zara and as usual I was put off and overwhelmed by the chaos there and didn't get anything.

Addictista- I have that blazer too! It is soo cute and I have only worn it once but I got a ton of compliments on it. I think from probably 4 different people. It looks great with denim and a white shirt, or a colored shirt and white shorts. It is way more versatile than I imagined it would be.
Jordan - I think it's going to be my go-to summer jacket with jeans. 
I tried it on with the skinnies I was wearing and the white swoop tee. It was amazing!

I completely agree with this^^^ I'm green with envy at your figure...but the triangle top is much more flattering, the bandeau top just smooshes you.
ME too!I am flat!!
So that is why I always buy triangle shaped bathingsuit tops!
Has anyone seen the Blythe silk top in Poppy yet? Is it really red? I keep getting burned on red tops and they turn out orange/coral

nope. I wear a 2 and I took a 2 in it. It went on sale this past week in my store! I don't regret buying it before it went to sale though.
I saw it in store and it looked like a coral red to me rather than a blue red. Others might not agree because colors are so subjective. I have it in alabaster and it's a great blouse.
Does anyone think that there's about to be a sale, or free shipping deal in the upcoming week? I need to order a ton of stuff; my PS seems to be MIA and although I'd love to just go ahead & order it all today, I'd scream if I woke up tomorrow to an email telling me they were having 30% site-wite + free shipping.
Anyone?
Also, has anyone tried shorts from J Crew Factory? I'm kind of between sizes and didn't want to spend a bunch on them just yet, but I wonder about the quality.

I agree that it is more coral (orange) red than blue red. It was a bummer for me, I was so excited when I saw it in the catalog. Also, I am Asian (sans sunny weather tan) and the apricot color washed me out.
I got luckier in the loungewear department, though. Got a striped vintage cotton v neck and terry sweats for $28 at the Burlingame, CA store. The sweatpants are surprisingly flattering for sweats, and I sized down. I think it is the drape and light weight of the fabric.
