Nashville isn't close to the beach, but my daughter has a neighborhood pool that's open in the summer and I often go there with the grandkids. Also one of the other grandmothers to 3 of my grandkids has a pool at her house, and I go there frequently to hang with that set of grands. Ron and I go away often enough to places with water (our preference) so we always bring along our swimsuits. And even if there's no water, there's often a jacuzzi so we need water wear for that. We do water stuff in the summer too...paddle boarding, white water rafting, canoeing etc., so I am always in need of a swimsuit. Not to mention my once or twice a year vacations with my California family and the grands. Pool at their house, and often we'll go to Hawaii or some other resort area with all manner of pools, beaches etc.
I remember fondly my young days as a beach bunny in Australia, cavorting around in my bikini with all the cute boys, completely clueless that one day that beach-bikini body that I completely took for granted would evolve to cellulite, back fat and a pouchy tummy. Ugh.
Finding a swimsuit that is still even slightly flattering has been a chore as my body has changed into that senior citizen silhouette. Long gone are the bikinis, two pieces, even sleek tanks with high cut legs. Nope. Not any more. Comfort is a consideration too. I don't want to be pulling and yanking the various parts to keep it where it's supposed to be, keep certain areas covered up.
I've gone through a variety of styles over the years and many different color choices too. My current favorite is actually not a matching set, but I liked each component and it works together just fine and it's so cool that you can buy tops and bottoms separately now!!! The bottom is swim shorts, not clingy but there's an inner panty, and the legs are cut more like workout shorts rather than biking shorts. The top is a spaghetti strap tank, but with layers of ruffles that do a wonderful job hiding the various bulges.
What do you wear?
