I can always see some flaws and know that other photos were not so generous/flattering, but obviously I chose to use the best - pure vanity, I know. I do work hard to keep myself trim, fit and as healthy as possible and will continue for as long as I possibly can. I like both swimsuits and bikinis and have a drawer full of them to pick from. My latest shopping spree has increased my collection to include an old fashioned swimsuit with a pleated skirt - it's a modern take on an old design and I love it!<br /><br />Anna xAnna's Island Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04997013627919505807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020891948274286259.post-16387731861394361382017-07-26T21:21:52.480+01:002017-07-26T21:21:52.480+01:00The fashionista in you always likes to challenge m...The fashionista in you always likes to challenge me just one step further and I love you for that Jude.

I'm delighted to hear of you and your relatives still wearing bikinis - my best friend lives in Portugal and she says that women of all ages and sizes wear bikinis which I find very heartening.

What a splendid, fun dress you are wearing. And as I said on IG.. my goodness what a perfect body. I know you will disagree as we all do when such a compliment is paid. But to the outside world it does look perfect. Two babies and a belly as tight as before. My word what an accomplisment. I never had a baby but always had a belly, even when I was really, really skinny and 18 years old. Nevertheless I still wear a bikini at 63. A swimsuit covers too much skin that doesn't get tanned. Although, come to think of it, I hardly go the beach.<br />Anyway, kudos dear.<br />GreetjeNo Fear of Fashionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10999161414598296313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020891948274286259.post-88073521188111315622017-07-21T02:44:35.366+01:002017-07-21T02:44:35.366+01:00This dress is proof of your admirable craving for ...This dress is proof of your admirable craving for some flash and fun in your clothing and I love that about you so much! I see that this is a body hugging dress BUT; is there a way you could style this so that wonderful curly cue hemline could adorn another look? Like... a long black and white striped, light weight, jumper that stops right at the curls, with black leggings and booties??

It reminds me of those "Sybil Fawlty" blouses from the 70s. I haven't worn a bikini since I was 18 - I've been far too self-conscious about my weight over the years to subject myself to that, sadly. I love the full bottom on yours - the "boy short" bottoms tempt me, but I so seldom swim or get near water. I have a maillot suit that I bought about 10 years ago that comes out when I visit my friend with a pool/hot tub, but that's only been 5-6 times in a decade. <br /><br />All of these women are so inspiring, Anna!
