Tips from a CheapChica: 2 Bikinis, 4 Looks--All For Less Than $20

Philly NBC correspondent Lilliana Vazquez's blog, CheapChicas.com, is an ode to style under $100--and we always want everything she writes about. This week, she's sharing her incredibly affordable finds on Lucky Right Now.

Don't hate me for bringing up the B-word in January, but the truth is beach season (or at least Spring Break season) will be here before you know it. With just a few smart choices, it's easy to make the most of your assets.

Ruffled top, $16.50; ruffled bottom, $16.50; and triangle top, 16.50, Old Navy.

If you're petite and small busted like I am, ruffles can help add some fullness to your otherwise un-full upper half.A ruffled bottom can also help you can create the illusion of sexy curves.When it comes time to shop, skip the match-matchy suits and purchase separates in complimentary colors or prints. This way, you can create a custom bikini you won't see anywhere else on the beach and you'll give yourself enough combos to last you all summer long!
