Does the idea of strutting your stuff in a string bikini make you cringe? Some women get so concerned about wearing a bathing suit in public that they forget about the one item that should be at the top of their shopping lists for beach season -- a cute cover-up.

If you've got some extra bulges to hide, or just want to be modest, don't settle for an old tee and a pair of gym shorts -- treat yourself to a swimsuit cover-up that you truly love.
Speaking of true love, we are totally infatuated with this Trina Turk 'Poppy' cover-up. It's floral and pretty and, well, happy, and we're fans of anything that makes us feel happy wearing a bikini before noon (because once it's past 12:00 p.m., there are pina coladas, and those do the trick as well).

This particular retro-style cover-up is available at Nordstrom for $129, but you don't have to spend that much for a good cover-up. Shop around, try them on, and find one hides your flaws and flaunts your assets!
