@modoodles tell me more about these Amazon swimsuits! Are they maternity?

@lexilougolden they aren't maternity, but they have rouching in all the right places, I feel like they are modest enough for my taste, and I don't feel like an old lady in it! I'll put a photo/details in the spoiler. I love it so much I have it in a couple of colors.

@modoodles I love it! I'm 5'7.5" and sometimes one pieces are too short for my torso. You look fantastic! I think it definitely could work for maternity! I'm planning my honeymoon/babymoon and will probably need a new swimsuit. Thanks!

@chgilmore where are you headed on your babymoon?! I need ideas! I'm also eyeing that second semester--less than two weeks away--hooray!

@lexilougolden originally, we wanted to go to Mexico City for Day of the Dead, since it coincides with MH's birthday, but since vaccinations are so low there we didn't want to risk it (and my passport was about to expire so I expedited service but it may not make it back in time anyway). Instead, we decided on the French Quarter in New Orleans he's never been but loves jazz, I haven't been as an adult but I miss authentic beignets, and we both love weird history.

@lexilougolden ooh where are you planning to go? 

I also have a hard time finding suits that work with having a longer torso- this was perfect! 

lexilougolden

@modoodles Not sure! I've been so sick it's hard to imagine when I'll feel better and what I might be interested in doing. We've talked about the PNW and Costa Rica. We're still chatting though.
