Celebrity Swimsuit: A “Betty” Beautiful Basic

Ah, summer, when chiseled starlets are running along the beach, their abs gleaming in the sun. Meanwhile, I’m sitting at home, staring at myself in the mirror and wondering how I’m ever going to leave the house for the next three months.

For those of us without starlet bodies, it’s hard to find celebrity style inspiration — unless you’re watching Ugly Betty, starring the adorable America Ferrera, whose impeccable style could teach all of us a thing or two about being comfortable in our skins.

Of course, Betty is not as bold as America, and even when she’s in a relaxing spa atmosphere, she opts to cover a little, with this one-piece tank from J. Crew that offers the perfect amount of coverage for those who want to show off gorgeous shoulders, while hiding the evidence of late-winter ’smores.

Okay, the ’smores thing is probably me and not Betty.
