My boyfriend thinks it's crazy that I wear a different bikini every day on holiday.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't even think twice about wearing a swimsuit because it's always been a part of my lifestyle.
For me to even be talking about bikini confidence is crazy. If you had asked me a couple of months ago, I probably would have been like, 'what are you talking about...' so it's actually huge for me to even feel okay with putting a bikini on.
I thought, If I'm so afraid of a bikini, there's something wrong. And so I had to get back into one!
My husband recently made me try on a bikini. A bikini is not so much a garment as a cloth-based reminder that your parts have been migrating all these years. My waist, I realized that day in the dressing room, has completely disappeared beneath my rib cage, which now rests directly on my hips. I'm exhibiting continental drift in reverse.
I don't prepare for wearing a bikini; I always have a bit of a tummy.
I started thinking: 'Okay, what's wrong with wearing a bikini? I look better than I looked in quite a few years, so why not? What am I afraid of?
For me, fashion means dare. I don't mind wearing a bikini. I am okay with it.
I'm not into bikinis or other revealing clothing.
Not one person would admit that they didn't want me to wear a bikini because of their aesthetic preference - a preference that is shaped by our cultural perceptions of what is and isn't beautiful.
I'm usually bikini-ready all year round.
