Swimsuit Buying Hell

Don’t Send Me To Buy A New Swimsuit!

Starting to think about packing for our upcomingĀ trip south. Shaking out the dusty summer clothes and shoes.Ā  Sorting out dive gear and loading the eReaderĀ with books.Ā  Hoping that the trip south can be accomplished within the baggage limits weĀ are paying for.

After dragging out my swimsuits, I sucked in myĀ gut and started to see what still fit.Ā  TheĀ one piece suit for scuba and serious swimming fit a bit like a glove but itĀ still went into the ā€œpackā€ pile.Ā  WhileĀ most people might suggest that there is no bikini that should ever go in my bag, IĀ am determined to tan as much of my pasty white skin as I can.Ā  But even I have limits on what isĀ acceptable.Ā  A few passed the test, if IĀ didnā€™t look too closely.Ā  But there wasĀ not a perfect one in the bunch.

I made the mistake of thinking that maybe IĀ could find one just a little better.Ā  ButĀ since I still hoped I would not be staying at my current weight, I wasnā€™t goingĀ to a fancy boutique. It would be Winners for me.Ā  I should have known that was a mistake.

Fun House Mirrors MakeĀ Swimsuit Buying Hell

I am sure they swing around the fun houseĀ mirrors as soon as we head into a change room loaded with swimwear to ensure we experience swimsuit buying hell.Ā  The yellow cast of the light makes allĀ exposed skin look sick and the bright glare ensures that every wrinkle andĀ cellulite bump is exposed.Ā  While IĀ managed to squeeze into several suits, looking in the mirror almost sent meĀ screaming.Ā  This was no way to sellĀ bathing suits! Finding a couple of cover-upsĀ for my existing bikinis covered me in case the lighting at home had been tooĀ kind.

What is your worst swimsuit buying hell story? Ā Have you given up bikinis?
