Ah, with the larder groceries collected, I now face the beachy-wear collection tasks!
I had to buy a beach cottage as I need a boat-load of clothes for even a single beach day! Challenge: Breezy cool for the morning and night....steaming hot in-between and try to look cute and fun when going out?!
But the biggest challenge of all......is facing down that swimsuit. At a "certain age"..... bikinis are but a distant memory! What to wear?! I love to swim, boogie-board, jump the waves....so I need a real swim suit!
LL Bean does the trick. My modesty picks the two-piece ones with a skirted bottom, fits my long frame, and I can mix and match tops and bottoms. These work well!!!
But.. and there is always a butt :-) with swim suits: this is what I have discovered.
Forget the fabric that is anything but smooth....the ridged stuff is the worst .... otherwise the fabric acts like a sieve and collects flotsam and jetsam!
Sadly the halter plastic slide always breaks mid-Season!
Ha-HA! The trick is to put it back together with: Dental Floss!!!!
Thus I do this when it is brand-spanking new! Better to do this now then to come up from a wave without coverage!
Beachy-wear!!! You are at the beach.... no time to waste a moment on endless dressing complications!
