Since I was 12, I've always worn shorts over my swimsuit in the summer. The issue was partly my weight, but also the fact that I have stretch marks from growing and gaining weight, and the ones on my thighs in particular have never faded.

This past weekend, I was cleaning out my closet and found a bikini I bought a couple years ago and had only ever worn with shorts.

I'm pleased to say that may be changing this summer

WOW!!! Look at you girl! Absolutely no reason to keep shorts on over that killer body. Thanks for the inspiration and congratulations.

Woot, you are so brave!!! Of course you look AMAZING in it, but I'm not one who could do it cause I'm so shy. Still can appreciate when someone else rocks out to one. Did i mention its my favourite colour? You have good taste!
