Remember the suit I mentioned? I tried buying a normal little tankini - plain and unadorned. I imagined it stretching over my little belly all cute and sporty like - except that that didn't happen. The few "normal little" tankinis they had just did not fit the bazoombas or didn't look very good. That's how I ended up with a maternity suit. I'm pretty ok with it except that I had to get a large to fit the aforementioned bazoombas. This means that it falls a little lower on my legs than it's supposed to. Thus I got the skirt bottoms because I felt it balanced it out better and did not accentuate the thighage. (Can you believe Blogger did not spell check "thighage??")
Anyway, when I got it home, I expressed to Hub my worry that I looked like either an older lady or a little kid with my little skirt bottoms and flowy top. He thought it was too ruffly and suggested I try the boy short bottoms. They had none in my size at Target, which is another reason I went with the skirt. So I tried on a blue pair of boy shorts I had just for comparison. For some reason it just looks wrong to me. Plus, the top covers the bottoms almost completely in that case. But I still can't shake the feeling that I look silly in the skirt even though it goes better with the top. The third option - regular bottoms - is just a no go to me because of how very little they show beneath the top. It just looks ridiculous. So I'm leaving it up to you my friends!! View the photos below, then vote on the sidebar and/or leave a comment as to what you would do in my situation. You know I'm desperate when I post bathing suit photos of myself for all to see. Ugh.
The one on the left is the shorts. The one on the right is the skirt.
P.S. Remember that I need this for about 5 and 6 mos pregnant at the beach as well.
