Water, water everywhere

vollmusI bought a swimsuit about two weeks ago that I am absolutely in love with. It's a black one-piece, with a v-neck, halter-ish top that it connects around my neck. Okay, it may be a little low, and there may be this crazy flower thing on it, but I really like how it looks on me. I don't feel so large in it, you know? And that's really important in a bathing suit, to be comfortable with your weight and how you look in general. The deep v-neck makes it slimming.
Unfortunately, the deep v-neck is what my mom doesn't like about it. Again, I admit that it may be a bit risqué since the cut shows basically what a bra would—not any of the top of my boobs, but the tiniest bit of the sides—but I think the fact that I'm comfortable despite le gasp and that I'm comfortable with my weight in it overrules the minor detail that more of my skin is showing than my mother would like.
She told me to take it back. I really do not want to take it back. Personally, I don't care if I can wear it at Girls' Camp (a church thing where they won't let anyone where a suit that doesn't cover basically all the way up to the neck) or not, I bought the suit for Wild Waves this summer. I'm getting a season pass for half price because my friend works there, so I'm planning on going A LOT. I figure it will be a fun way to excersize, as long as I remember sunscreen, not to mention a way to keep up with Samantha and her stalking co-worker.
How much authority do I have in this situation? I bought the swimsuit, so I should be able to keep it if I want, right? I suppose I'll go out and look for another one, but I'm not going to return it until I've bought a better one. I'm not settling on a suit I don't like just because my mom isn't comfortable with the one I do like.
