What’s worse than trying on jeans? Trying on swimsuits. At least for me, anyway.
I’ve avoided swimming just because I didn’t want to buy a bathing suit. Even when I was pre-baby and cigarette-smoking thin, I hated it. Then it got even worse…maternity swimsuit shopping!
Last year I decided I wanted to get into the pool with Nathaniel. Plus, I was going to a {cringe} pool party…{cringier} for work. Then I found this vintage-inspired suit on Modcloth. You guys…seriously…when I tried it on, I actually thought to myself, “I like it.” If you’re anything like me, that’s monumental.
You know what I never hate doing? Looking at photographs of vintage swimwear. They’re so glamorous!
