Got Quads?

Most retailers started carrying their spring lines right after Christmas. I get excited about that because I’m not much of a winter gal. Snow on Christmas is great, but I’ll take a nice hot day any other time. Still, there are two things I hate shopping for: jeans and bathing suits. Now that I’m a mom, bathing suit shopping is even worse. The choices are skimpy teen suits, which aren’t practical for anyone who might have to do anything other than lay on a beach towel, or “old lady suits,” the kind that only an 80-year-old can pull off. Why aren’t there nice, flattering suits for moms that will stay on when you’re chasing one or four toddlers? So far the best top I’ve found is from Nike. It criss-crosses in the back so there’s no chance of strap slippage and even though it’s cut to there somehow “the girls” never pop out. But I want choices. Maybe I’m being too picky. I want some coverage on the bottom, but hate that all I’ve found is a skirt-like thing that might as well hang to my knees. I know there’s got to be something out there for a mom who’s modest but wants to be somewhat stylish! But I guess it could be worse… at least I have a pair of jeans that I like so I won’t have to go shopping for those any time soon!
