Swimsuit season is upon us, or is it? You never really know when you live in Minnesota. Swimsuits have graced the racks of your favorite stores while the weather grants you endless sunshine or two feet of snow on your car. Weather can really be unpredictable anywhere you go, but no matter what the weather’s like outside, you know everyone is shopping for swimsuits NOW. You are ready to find a suit for your own, but you know the struggle is about to get real…
1. The unpredictable weather of Minnesota has you sometimes changing out of many layers just to try on a bikini…
2. Reading the little hygiene liner in the swimsuit bottoms and hoping everyone has listened to it…
3. That awkward look you give when the cashier points out you are buying a small top and an x-large bottom…
4. Realizing a name brand swimsuit is out of the question unless you can cough up $40 just for the bottom…
5. Finding that happy medium between no support and “inflata-boobs”…
6. Finding that super cute swimsuit you just can’t take your eyes off of and realizing it will cause you major tan line problems later…
7. Online swimsuit shopping is a shot in the dark…
8. Obsessing over the cutest swimsuit ever just to realize your size is non-existent…
9. Having to jump and wiggle just to make sure everything will be secure…
10. After trying on 20 different suits, in 10 different stores, all in one day… you feel hopeless…
11. … until you find one that makes you say, “Damn, I look hot!”
Swimsuit shopping has proven to be difficult, but in the end, it is about how YOU feel and not what others think of you. Take some risks, try on swimsuits that don’t seem your style and you might just be surprised.
