OK..Well I have been thinking about how much I want a swim suit for the summer but I just feel so big..But I started browsing online and found some REALLY cute styles for us bigger girls. Unfortunately, they were all 50-100 buckaroos and I am being really thrifty for the time being.
So I decided to wander up to the local Wal-Mart to atleast see what size I would wear if I DID decide to order one. Well I find this on the clearance rack..normally a $40 suit marked down to $17.00.
Even though I have never been crazy about that plain old round neck style and I didn't really LOVE the pattern/colors, I figured what they heck...it's cheap...and they only have one...and it's actually in a 16/18..A size I can wear! Must be fate.
So I try it on...And it actually looks nice! Makes my boobs sit up and look big, my belly isn't sticking out all over the place, and the skort type bottom looks good on my butt!
I also tried on this one ($23) and the top looked fantastic and I LOVE LOVE LOVED the pattern.
Unfortunately, the bottoms made my butt look terrible and my legs looked like two big fat sausages popping out of the leg holes LOL. I searched for about 20 minutes for a different pair of brown skirt like bottoms instead of those stupid Superman drawers that came with it but the only ones I found were in a Large
I even contemplated switching the original bottoms with a pair on a different suit that were perfect..But I just couldn't do it.
ANYWAY. The moral of the story is that even if you AREN'T at goal, or even near it, you can still look good. You might think it is impossible, but take a chance, and maybe that ugly swimsuit in the back is the one that makes your curves go VAVOOOOM. That's what happened to me hehe. I just figure I can't put life on hold just because I am fat, and neither should you. Go get that swimsuit and make some waves!
(PS I do not work for Wal-Mart LOL)
