Well this past weekend after meeting my sister in brother in Madison for lunch, a tour of Olbrecht and ice cream I went to Shopko to buy Bella some shoes and came home with a new bathing suit for me.
A little history-I have a bathing suit,actually I have 3 and I can still wear them all but they are by no means "NEW" they are all Lands' End suits that I bought when I worked for Lands' End which I have not done since before I got married and I have been married for almost 8 years. While these suits still fit no one and I mean no one would say they look good. A true testiment to the quality of Lands' End suits as they have stretched to accomidate my ever increasing size.
Bella loves the Beach, I love the beach but we seldome go simply because I am protecting the general public from the horror of me in a bathing suit. We will be going on vacation soon, staying at a cabin on a lake so I don't think I want to totally avoid putting on a suit.
The suit I bought was on sale so I bought both pieces for around $25 and yes I said 2 pieces as it is a Tankini. The top is blue floral and the botton solid black with a littel skirt. Definately a modest suit. I like it but not the fact that it is a size larger than any suit I have ever bought in my life. I think this is one of the reasons I put off buying a suit for so long because I was afraid I would have to go up in size. If only I was not undertall and overfed!
By the way I did not get new shoes for Bella as the selection was minimal and Bella was not interested in buying nice practical everyday shoes but tall boots with zippers up the side of sparkaly sandles etc.

Well you have bought a suite that is more progress then me. And as for the size don't get to hung up on that because suites run smaller then many other things.
As for Bella not getting any shoes good for mommy! Because even if you were to buy those others with the intention of her wearing limited times and places. She would constantly have them on.
