High Tide and High Waisted

Lets be honest, there are two things every girl hates shopping for jeans, and bathing suits.  Thankfully the two are spread into different seasons so we don't have to tackle them on the same mall trip.  Whoever invented the bikini was either tall and thin, or a male fashion designer out of touch with a women's insecurities (most likely the latter).

As a teenager so often you fall into the mindset of "this is what everyone else is wearing so I have to wear it too" and although I'd long gotten away from that mindset with clothes, my struggle continued in swimwear.  There was no reason I needed to be wearing a itsy bitsy teeny weeny bikini that I was constantly worried I was spilling out of!  Everyone has a different body, everyone is insecure about different things, so why is it everyone feels the need to wear the exact same swimsuits?  I found my balance in an underwire top and high waisted bottoms, don't be afraid to find yours!
