Untitled Part 2

Something else about having a wierd post - pregnancy - 3-kids-in-three-years body... the dilema of fitting back into a bathing suit.

I had a few minutes to stop at the mall on my way home from work in search of a suitable suit. I came in with the following must have criteria:

1. Must have one of those skirt-like bottoms
2. Mustn't be too tight or accentuate my pregnant-like belly

What I realized pretty quickly when I entered the world of fat lady bathing suits (let's face it, that's the section I found myself in), is that, for the most part, the biggies are all hideous and are made for 90 year old fat ladies. Sorry to be so blunt.

A typical suit in this section might be navy blue with large lime green plants circling the torso. Leopard print may be involved. Also the skirt part would touch my knees.

As for the few big, but not quite 90 year old fat lady suits, I was left to decide BETWEEN the skirt and the flattering top. Meaning if I choose the skirt as my priority, I was forced to try the tight tankini top (NOT an option at this stage of the game). If I chose the flaring top as my priority, the bottoms were pretty skimpy (again, NOT an option).

After about an hour, I left the mall with nothing.
