The swim suit saga continues. Went shopping today (handy, since that was the basis of the photo prompt) ,and tried on more suits than I care to remember. Too small. Too big. Too SI Swimsuit Edition. All too something. Now, I gave up on the idea of having a perfect body almost four decades ago, so I wasn’t surprised by this difficulty, but I was annoyed.
Anyway, I finally found a suit I thought I could live with, though I can admit it may have been mostly that I was just getting worn down. I knew it was a tiny bit too loose, but figured better that than the opposite. Unfortunately, I didn’t take into consideration the fact that I was trying on while wearing my own undergarments, which were providing an extra layer. Once I got home and didn’t have my bra on, too loose. Not as potentially revealing as my old one, and in much better shape—and much cuter—, so I guess it’s still a win. But I just can’t believe that after all of that rigmarole, I still may have to consider alterations. Ugh.
Also (and this is a little bit of a complaint), I hate that so much of the weight I’ve lost had to come off the top. I mean, seriously, as much butt as I have left, you’d think I could trade at least a little bit of that for just a tiny bit more boob!
On the other hand, at least the results of the shopping expedition made for a decent photo.
it looks nice :) pleased you found one after all that
ReplyDeleteshopping can be frustrating cant it
Frustrating for sure. I'm certain that those skin-and-bone model types have their own share of problems, but every once in a while I'd like to be them just for the sake of easier clothes shopping.
