Buying a bikini?

Watch out for this sneaky sales trap

The bikini days have arrived. Finally, I would say. I believe you should treat yourself to at least one new bikini or swimsuit every year. At the beach, you don't have much else to shine with, so go all out, that's my motto. And it can cost a bit, as far as I'm concerned, because at a certain age, you can't get away with a cheap Zara piece anymore and you need some monument care, so to speak. I believe the designer brands have listened to me a bit too well, because what do those types do? They have not only raised the price (for a little bikini, you easily pay €300), they also lure you into the trap by pretending a bikini costs 180 euros, because that's the price you see for the depicted bikini. However, when you want to check out your basket, it turns out you only have the top piece.
And this applies not only to the Net-A-Pieters of this world. They do it under the guise of ‘this way you can combine so nicely, the better mixing and matching’, but in the meantime, you have to pay double.

I have all sorts of opinions about it, but I'll keep it at this: shame!
