Usually I'm a plan-ahead, organized logistics, ready-to-roll kind of girl. I like to be prepared in an endearingly (I hope) classic scout fashion. Which is why I'm a little disgruntled that I was so thoroughly unable to anticipate that finding a new bathing suit in January might be...difficult.
It doesn't help that I'm picky about color and fit and price, though really, I didn't find any suits that I liked remotely enough to challenging any of these parameters. I thought that California might have a better selection, having hit the mall and a bunch of department stores at home to no avail. I dragged myself to a bunch of malls all across San Francisco...yes that's right, San Francisco, not Los Angeles. Guess what? Since SF has a climate roughly equivalent to the Mid-Atlantic, SF also chalks up an epic FAIL on wintertime bathing suit selection. I found a few a Nordstrom's and the Sport's Authority, but those didn't work out because I'm not a) rich or b) shaped like swimmer (HOW not!). (Also, ugly suits!!! Flowers on the bosom! Like headlight flowers!)
I think I'm going on vacation armed with my old suit and some synthetic tank tops. Hey, I used to swim in a cotton sports bra and underwear! Now that I've discovered the universe of synthetic sportswear, how could it be worse?
