Swimsuit confidence with Lands’ End

tankiniWhat do you think of when I say that I live in South Florida? For most it would be BEACHES, BEACHES and more BEACHES.  Tanned bodies strewn on the sand with bikinis and maillots, running in and out of the ocean to cool off, swim, jump the waves and have a fun day (just talking about it conjures the smell of the salt air).

When I was 18 and a size 4 it was great (although I was never a bikini girl). At 57 and with a one in front of the 4 it gets a little trickier.  As I battle with my post-menopausal weight gain, there’s NO REASON for me NOT to enjoy the ONE place where I totally relax. I’ve lived by the beach for most of my life and it’s the ONE PLACE that I can go to escape. So with a deep breath I approach putting on a bathing suit with CONFIDENCE.

CONFIDENCE? Well, it depends upon the suit of course. The one in THIS photo is from Lands’ End. I love the fact that it has a skirt that’s just a bit longer than most. I actually feel GOOD in it (and yes I have the confidence to make my way to the beach). In the past I’ve been afraid of wearing anything but black, but I “dove right in” and went for color (and lots of it).

There’s no excuse for doing the shorts and t-shirt thing anymore…at least not when you have an amazing selection for ANY body type to choose from in the Lands’ End online catalog. The problem is choosing.

    LOVE it. And I really like that you went with color. I also always chose black suits (and did from Lands’ End!), but I really should venture out into some fun color.

    That suit looks just as good on you as it does on the model – actually I think the top looks better on you because you fill it out better. =)
    You belong on the beach now just as much as you did when you were a size 4 (which is WAY too skinny anyway!) and you were younger… especially now that you have the time to enjoy it.
    Thanks for sharing your choice, I got my Lands End catalogue yesterday and I can’t wait to pick out my new suit… WooHoo!
