omg, my new bathing suit...

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

last fall when all the bathers were super duper marked down my mom and I went shopping.  I was about 2.5 months pp so I didn't bother trying them on.  I just picked out one size bigger than I normally am. 

I remember thinking that they were kinda low cut in the back but that was it.  I just tried them on.  frak.  seriously looks like something Paris Hilton would be wearing and last I checked I wasn't a super skinny 5'10 heiress.  The sides are cut out to show off my toned slim waist but instead of a toned slim waist I have a flabby, cupcake stretch marked gut.

They are so cute on the rack but not so cute on me.  I don't think that even if I was, say 30lbs less that they would be appropriate for me to wear.  lol.  I also tried on my bikinis...just because you can stretch something over you doesn't mean you should...

    Are any of the tops cute you own?  Maybe you could find a really neutral bottom some place that sells separates that makes you feel better!  I am all about the tankini this year...and probably forever.

    Don't be so hard on yourself though.

    i think I will just get a tankini too from somewhere.  I have been wearing a tank top with a shelf bra in it with a bikini bottom to the pool at my moms, but that is just my mom, my h and my kid who see me.  i have an obscene number of bathers I can't wear.

    haha, bathers.  I never noticed that I say that.

    funny though, I am smaller now than many chicks I see at the lake all summer long who wear 2 pieces.  If they can, I should be able to too!

    i may be able to fit in my old jeans but trust me NO ONE wants to see me naked - - or in in a bikini. my stomach is very scary!

    I will also be sporting the tankini.  Thanks for the lol at this post, though:o)  You pretty summed up how I felt when I tried on my "bathers" a couple days ago.

    I'm with you - I think my bikini days are OVER. Even though I didn't get any stretch marks, the belly flob is just hideous, eight months later. Ick.

    The worst part is that I live about 1/2 a mile to the beach, so I'm there all the time! I'll be shopping for a lovely muu muu soon.
