ETA Second option- Thoughts on this swimsuit

[DeeDee]

H thinks this patten looks like something an old lady would wear. I kind of love it. I'm hoping it's just him who thinks that. I love "the suit" and wanted something a little more fun than the polka dot one I already have.



Is this better?

[alzi]

Old lady. Sorry

[Jalapeñomel]

I agree with your DH.

[dojo]

This would definitely look old lady on my body, but I could see it being cute on someone else.

[Saint Monica]

I vote no.

[Deleted]

Old lady. Sorry.

[readyin07]

I think if you are 20 it would be fun and retro in an ironic way. I think if you are me, 35 and a touch on the frumpy side it is just going to emphasize the frump

[Deleted]

I think it would be better in a solid color

[sparrowsong]

I don't love it but I think it would look fine. I have that suit in a solid but bright pink color.

[noodleskooze]

I don't think it's Old Lady, and I'm one of the youngest posters on ML.

Ding ding ding @licia you just won a new carrrrrr!

If you don't feel comfortable in it (which is the the feeling I'm getting from your posts). I think your DH is an a-hole for making a comment, probably making you MUCH less confident. I say wear it. Just wondering, how old are you & do you have kids?

[mmmomof2]

My first thought was old lady, but now that I look at it the flowers are definitely smaller than a typical old lady suit. I would probably look for anchors or something else, but if you love it go for it.

[pantsparty]

Sorry, I think it's kind of old lady.

Insert Tina Fey oh brother gif here.

I like the pattern. the suit is okay.

maybe it would be better to have one old lady element. floral or old lady suit. not both.

Objection. Relevence, argumentative, compound.

Oh, jesus. lol

[meganew]

I love the retro cut, but I'm pretty sure my grandmother has a suit with that and print : /

[kittyb]

The shape of the suit is cute, but I'm not keen on the print.

[meganew]

H and I tell each other all the time when something might not be the best look- it has saved me from some ill-fitting tops and him from sleeveless shirts in public. We must both be a-holes.

Right?? I can totally see asking my H "hey, what do you think of this swimsuit?" And him saying "hmmm, the print is a little old lady-ish." It's not going to like, destroy my self confidence, llllllol. And he asks my opinion all the time as well. I'm not going to fucking lie to him!

So you have never asked the opinion of your SO on something? It sounds like she is on the fence about the print and asked opinions from him.

i vote old lady too, Op. Sorry

So... her H is an A-hole for giving an opinion... that she asked for? 

[kwx2]

I think it is cute, maybe in a different print though. I say if YOU feel comfortable in it, that is all that matters!

[glitzyglow]

I love it, print and all. Can you share where it's from?

[underwaterrhymes]

I HOPE that if I bought that suit my H would tell me it was old ladyish.

Because it is.

and who are these people who collapse in a heap of self loathing over an SO saying a print is old lady? It's not like he called you thunder thighs.

SHE WASN'T EVEN WEARING IT AT THE TIME.

[pagas]

I think it is old-ladyish.

I wish my DH would offer honest opinions. He always says whatever I have on is the best because he doesn't want me to waste time changing. It isn't helpful at all. And yet he always wants my honest opinion.

[isabel]

I think it could be really cute. You just have to pull it off. It's not for me, but could be great on you.

[BaliHai]

I really like the colors, but agree the cut + print puts it in old lady territory.
