Tis the season...

For swim suit shopping *eeek* yes its that much dreaded time of year again.
I hate clothes shopping as it is but swim suit shopping is the worst. Its so hard to find * that suit * you know the one that is not only *supportive* but still stylish.. The one that hides the parts you don't want seen but at the same time don't put you in something your grandmother would happily wear. I haven't even peep'd at this years patterns or the favorite colors for this year.. Yes the whole thing scares the jeebies out of me.
I seriously do wonder about clothing designers.. Flow'y tops with extra room for the size 3 crowd and spandex filled tops for the plus size gals.. Who thought this up? And although they must get a discount on fabric that had to have been engineered for a very ugly couch that flopped on the show room floor. Why did they think that although you didn't want it in your house, you would want to strut around town in it?
In a recent trip to walmart while detouring threw womens clothing to avoid the traffic jam on the main isle.. I couldn't help but notice when mother paused to see that spandex have made a come back.. Oh geesh and here I thought wd were free from that battle with her forever.. As I slowed I as nice as possible reminded her that she had a bit to many assests to show off and that spandex on no level were flattering. Argh no mother I don't care how many pairs you can buy for that amount of money.
Yes clothes shopping not my favorite.. Swim suits even less.. And this year per the older kiddos request mother is to buy a new one as well.. Oh how does one convince her that although you may be able to squeeze into a 14 your still an 18 and well its just not working not one little bit.
