I can't believe what I went through this weekend looking for that ONE bathsuit to fit the right way. I've always been my own worse critic when looking for anything... but this time all I want it was a simple, quite flattering top with skirted bottom, not too flashy, not too provocative and very comfortable swimsuit. Well, instead I found many slim looking; tight body suits which exposed body parts I didn't even know I had to show.... I should say, I had forgotten once was looked at. Unbelievable...
After looking for many hours, hubby restless, very hungry.... I did buy and finally settled for a two piece swimsuit, quite comfortable, minimizing my upper body structure, while hips and thighs went "undercover" ... oh, complemented with a large sigh of relief from the BIG man that finally we could head home.
Still not sure and I don't feel right when I look at myself but what the heck one way or the other this one body was going to get into something no matter what.... Since summer is finally here I'm going to enjoy every minute of it... of course in the privacy of my own pool!
I just wondered how many of us out there have gone through the same situation this season buying what we consider "the right bathsuit" ....
Where around TV land can you buy not so sexy, comfortable to move in, with some sort of extra coverage, for mature ladies who just want to have fun in a Makini? :dontknow:
I came across the following article and I didn't feel so bad after all.
AARP reader Barbara Costa shares her humorous slant on shopping for—and wearing—a bathing suit at age 74.
Read her essay for a good giggle.
