Aww that is so cuute!

That's such a nice swimsuit! It's very simple and black but it's still really cute. The little dots at the top give it a really nice touch.

I always liked the pin up swimsuits, either the one-piece with dots or sailor-themed ones and also the ones with high-waisted bikini pants. But I've never really stumbled upon one like that in any shop. Besides I live far away from any sea :(

I just feel that wearing tiny bikinis really encourages guys to see women as objects and not as the wonderful people that they are. It leaves nothing to the imagination.

"Modesty isn't about hiding ourselves. It's about revealing our dignity." is a quote taken from a video on the evolution of the swimsuit by Jessica Rey, the girl who designs the swimsuits at Rey Swimwear. I'd post the link but we're not supposed to post outside links. If you Youtube search "The evolution of the swimsuit" it'll pop up.

I don't want to be seen as an object by guys, and I certainly don't want some old guy or creeper or really any guy other than my husband to imagine what it would be like to be with me because I'm encouraging his visual thought processes by revealing so much of my body.

My opinion. It doesn't mean it's the only opinion out there. But food for thought.

Thanks, darkelf :)

I was just coming back to edit my post, because I remembered that I saw an Etsy shop that sells super cute retro/pin-up style suits, like what Rhea had mentioned.

Rhea: again, I can't post an outside link, but if you go to the etsy.com website, and search for a shop called "RedDollySwimwear" she has a whole bunch of super cute swimsuits in that style. I thought about ordering one myself, but they were mostly a bit too low to satisfactorily cover my chest. But I thought you might like to take a look at her shop! :)

Either opinion is plausible. Either way, it's on the guy for thinking like that. Or anybody. Anybody can look at a girl in a bikini as an object instead of having self control and looking the other way. It's not the person wearing the bikini's fault. *shrug*

Ha, I guess the whole tan thing is part of why I wanted a suit that covers more also. I worked on a farm for 11 years and we always worked so hard on our tans, but one summer I got a second degree sunburn that blistered and all kinds of gross and painful things. Also, my mom recently had a form of skin cancer on her nose from it getting burned so often, which was pretty scary. So, since that summer/my mom's condition, I've been really trying to be careful with my skin. I usually use SPF 50-60 sunscreen lol. If it's one form of cancer I can actually do something to prevent, then I'm certainly going to try to fight it off! :)

But of course, I do understand the desire to get a nice tan - it's no fun being pasty white all summer either!

Bloody, it's such a super-hiper-cute swimsuit! The pattern and the frills are so sweet! I'm sure you're looking great in it :D

Snortmort, I know what you mean. I'm very pale and burn easily so I try to keep myself away from sun. And a sunscreen is my all-year-long best friend.

Nice, Spider! I didn't think anyone else on here would have heard of them. I only heard about them a few weeks ago when a friend shared a blog post on dressing modestly, and there was a picture from their website on it.

Bloody - that is a cute suit!

Aaahhh so cute! Damn I wish it was easy for me to pick bikinis or any kind of swimsuit...
When it's a normal swimsuit, it tends to get large on the tummy and the shoulder strings and it falls off -_-
If it's a bikini, I have a big butt, really, my life song should be "I have big butt and I cannot lie, you other brothers cant deny!". And to get the panties that fit my bum, the upper part will be too big for my breasts! It's not like they are small but usually, A-B cups are for small butts. The minute you have a big butt, the bra goes to a freagging D or something and I'm like, no...
The only ones I've had that fit me, one was from Mont Blanc but then the bra clasp broke and the other was bought at a local store, it is rainbow colored (not even joking, I'm a unicorn!, and it's probably the one that STILL suits me! The pantie part is brazilian style (If I use regular looking ones, it looks like my butt is 1metre high) which makes it even more fun~! Though I wanted to buy a new one : c Which is a shame since I live like 10minutes away from the beach


Oh and Bloddy, that one is sooo cute!



EDIT:

This one is sooooo adorable! I love how they are simple enough to look like slim tops

Jang - is that one of the suits from Rey? It's super super cute!

@Rhea: High five! I'll try... If anything, I'll just buy two from a cheap store and mix-match them ayee!! I absolutely love light mint with lavender, it looks so soft and it goes well with any skin color actually!

@Snortmort: Yeapz, the swimsuit is from Rey alright!

@Andy, here it's the same but we start to get used because "hey, maybe that wasn't for me".

Also, over this week I saw a lady that had a bikini in which the upper part was a bit larger and bigger than usually and it actually resembled the one I had chosen from Rey ahah
