my name's rebecca. i doubt you're even mildly interested in the irrelevant aspects of my life, so i'll get to the point. i'm not a professional psychologist nor do i pretend to be, yet i'll try to give you advice based on the common sense that, unlike many others on here, i own ;]

Okay so I'm kind of overweight. I'm not a whale or anything, but I'm big enough to feel really uncomfortable wearing a bathing suit. Today I bought my bathing suit for the summer. I tried it on and I thought it was perfect for me. It's light at the top and it changes to darker shades towards the bottom. The top is a halter and it has a built-in skirt that conceals my less-appealing cures. I thought it look good because it concealed my huge butt while showing off my nice shoulders and neck.
Anyway, I get it home and my mom tells me it's an "old lady bathing suit." I got mad at said, "Well at least I'm not a slut!" Apparently, if it's not a skimpy two piece, it must be an "old lady bathing suit," in her opinion anyway.
What's your opinion on this? Should I get a different suit? I don't want to be laughed at when I go to the beach or to the pool.
One piece bathing suits are perfectly fine, especially like the one you described, with a halter tops and skirt. I know a lot of people who buy skimpy bikinis when it looks terrible on them, just because they want to wear a bikini. Think about this-- would you rather wear a one piece that makes you look really good, or a two piece that makes you look and feel uncomfortable?
Wear what you want :)
