About to shop for my first swimsuit in 15 years......

   and I am nervous like a mofo!!!!!  I haven't worn a swimsuit since I was in high school (if then) and I have to go shop for one or two for my Vegas trip........

The THOUGHT of buying something that will show THAT much is really messing with my head!!!!  I know I need one with shorts or a skirt - that's a given - but the halter top part..... ummmm Ionknow. 

Do they make suits with long sleeves?  Can I get one of those tight bodysuit kinds with long arms AND legs????  LOL!!!!  I have seen chicks in suits that ummm - well, let's just say I will NEVER have THAT much confidence and I refuse to be the one being whispered about at the pool!!!!! 

I'm going to check out Walmart and JC Penny...... anybody got any other suggestions???

As "Official new swimsuit Judge" par excellence, I volunteer to give an unbiased opinion of you IN the suit. 

you are a NUT!!!!!!

I'll have to see - bought two of them at Wal Mart this morning - tonight's 'try on' will tell the tale.......

Moi? A nut?  Never. lol.  I'm just providing a service. lol

   Did You Say
Sleeves?  They Damn sure knew how to cover up back in the day!

I just had this conversation last night.  I will be getting a bikini (that's right, a bikini) in a few weeks. 

Ooooohhhh, I hear you girl.  I had to take a Prozac, a xanex, have hands laid on me, have a breathing treatment, sit in the dark and pray, all just to TRY ON a swimsuit!!!  Then...once I stopped crying....I bought one...at Macy's (they were having a really good sale, otherwise I found a few at Wal-mart that were okay)!

My sentiments exactly.  You are HILLARIOUS!!!!

I bought one last year (before my plastic surgery) and found a really cute cover up to go over it.  The cover up is some sheer pants with the matching sheer top.  Found it at Dillard's.  I've only worn it a couple of times and the cover up NEVER came off!    I was not about to let those "Thunder Thighs" be seen in public!

I agree with Purpletb, get a cover up if you are apprehensive.  The ones that

tie like a scarf are really cute and give the appearance of being more stylish

than trying to hide things.  I also like the pull over dresses that are mesh. My

legs are awful so I wear very tight bicycle shorts with my suit and it kinda

looks like boy shorts but if I were as small as you I would probably wear a 2

piece. Find something cute, get the confidence up and have a ball in Vegas!
