Torture Pure Torture
Thoughts: I have always hated shopping for jeans. Do any of you agree? Too short, too tight, to wide, too low waisted, too long, just tooo hard to find the right fit. I have discovered something worse! Swimsuit shopping! I was strongly urged by my daughter that it was time to throw away my swinsuit from the 90s and get something a little more stylish. First of all, it doesn't matter how stylish the suit was, on this 51 years old body... the thought makes me shudder.

First of all, it doesn't matter how stylish the suit was, on this 51 years old body... the thought makes me shudder.I mustered up my courage and went to the mall. I wandered from store to store, fingering through the swimsuits. I just could not bring myself to try one on. I left empty handed. I was passing the shade store on the way to the grocery store, and convinced myself to stop and see what they had to offer. I told myself that I was just going to pick one and buy it. I stood in front of the suits, closed my eyes, pointed my finger, turned around twice, opened my eyes and took the one that I was pointing at up to the register and bought it. YES, I did it!
Once back home I tried it on. With a little lifting, tucking and rolling, it fit just fine, well, it fit good enough, especially with the oversized T-shirt over the top. I am ready to take a dip.
Things: The best part of my trip to the mall was the stop at the SEE's candy shop. A molasses chip, a dark nougat and a milk patty can always make me feel better. I put them in my scottie dog dish , I am sure they won't be there for long.
I thought I was the only one who hates bathing suit shopping. That's why you keep them for decades. Am I the only one that has 7 layers on over my suit? I do love the See's candy store. Mimi
ReplyDeleteNow that it's too late (you already bought one), here is a link to a local company that was written up in the Ogden newspaper the other day. www.limericki.com They have some really cute modest suits and the prices seem reasonable too!
ReplyDeleteI hate clothes shopping period. Fo some reason I think My butt gains ten pound when I try on pants. Its like there are two cats in my pants fighting over a mouse. Sorry for the bad visual.
ReplyDeleteI'm with ya. I always say jean shopping and swimsuit shopping are equally miserable. Hey, I have the same top from shade! It does a pretty good job keeping the girls in the right place don't you think? :)
ReplyDeleteI came over from Mimi-Sue's place. Boy can I relate!!! My favorite quote here, "after a little tucking, lifting, and rolling, it fit just fine". Ha ha ha...at first I thought you meant the suit, then I thought about my own body and got it...she's talking about the body. : )
