Need some help (Swimwear)?

Safera

Okay, I need a new swim-suit, but I'm not too sure on what to look for.
Here's some things you should know:

- I'm pretty small, so a small junior's size fits best with me.

- I'd like something that's like a bikini, only not too showy. Like a Tankini/Halterkini with MAYBE boy shorts.

- I prefer some dark colors. Navy blue. I realize that some of you might say that "Dark colors will make me look smaller than I already am" but I think I can deal with that. =]

- I need to be able to find it in a store in a very small town. Just somewhere like Dillards, Kohl's, Sears, etc. So not too fancy so I'll have to travel out of town to shop.


I need to know what I should be looking for, and where I could possibly look. =]

Thanks!
Oh, and I have black hair, so /some/ colors like bright yellow, etc. might not work for me.

Otherwise, I like the ones so far. =]
