my least favourite thing

So tomorrow could quite possibly be one of the worst days of my life...shopping for a bathing suit.
I don't think many women like this event. I am heading to 2 hot locations this winter and my bathing suit has...well...seen better days. Now I know I will never look like this:


Nor do I feel I have to strive to. 
 Most women would like to look good or should I say feel confident in a swim suit. 
I definitely don't feel either. I know most of this is in my head, that's where most of the crap in life is, in my own head. I have been told by women who have gone to hot locations that when you go to the beach you see lots of women in bikinis and think, "If they can have the confidence, why can't I?"
Yeah...why can't I? It really is in my own head. It's just confidence I need, yeah not so easy to achieve.  So as I wander the aisles (and very out of season for this kind of shopping on top of it) I hope I can find something I can feel confident in, or least comfortable in. I am just thankful that swim shorts are in style right now, because I know that Swimming Moo-Moos are not.

You have a lovely figure so go for it! Trevor will appreciate the view and everyone else doesn't matter!
I get what you are saying about the confidence thing though - I'm that way about any kind of dressing up. I just always figure my outfit doesn't look right or my shoes are wrong. You on the other hand have a great sense of style and so you should show it and your body off!

PS Try upstairs in MidTown Mall - there is a bathing suit store there.
