Why can't I wear a ruffled swimsuit?!


You know what I miss about being 6? Being able to wear a one piece swim suit with an attached ruffled skirt and people thinking it's cute. Those were the days! You know what else I miss? Being flat chested and people thinking it's cute. One more thing...I miss pig tails. The ones that sit right on top of your head with the big obnoxious bows...why can't I wear those anymore?!

As we hung out and bbq-ed on the 4th I had such a blast watching the kids destroy my house play, laugh, and just be so care free. They ran around with popsicle stains on their clothes and dirt smears on their faces and they looked so dang cute! I found myself thinking how nice that would be...

For some reason when I walk out the door with toothpaste dried on my shirt and baby spit up dribbling down my back it's not so cute. Weird, I know! Apparently some people don't appreciate the finer fashion that comes with motherhood. And if I walked out in a ruffled one piece my husband would disown me it wouldn't be so cute. It'd be funny though! And just think of how comfortable I would be...Sigh....if only I were six...Maybe I should bring back the ruffled skirt...or maybe the pig tails. It could be the next big thing! What do you think? Take a look for yourself...(sorry for the crappy picture, my camera died before I could take another one)
ps- bachelorette tonight!!! booya!!
pss- sorry if i haven't stopped by your blog recently...the fams in town and my bloggin time is minimal!!

  4. You might be the only person older than 21 that can pull off those pigtails! Very cute!
    I would love to have a swimsuit that made me look like Cindy Crawford. If they can put a man on the moon, why can't I look like Cindy Crawford?! Why!?
    Ok, have fun at your partay!

  5. To be flat chested....oh NO girlie!!! I think those pig-tails are a little too tight :) I paid good money for what i've got and NEVER going back. Now for a ruffled swimsuit...we can talk. Of course you'll have to do the sewing. As i don't know how. LOL

  6. GIRL! Lovin the 'bringin back the ruffled swimsuit' idea. You do it in CA, I'll be in charge in bringing it back in AZ. It'll be a nationwide revolution. Holla.

  19. You rock those pigtails, for sure! I wore low ones well past the age when to do so was cute or charming in any way.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I personally think you could rock a ruffled bathing suit, haters be damned!

    ReplyDelete
  21. lady you look so good i say bring back the pigtails AND the ruffle bum suit!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Oh baby, the ruffle is back, just not in a bathsuit yet, check out Rumba Shorts - if I knew how to put a picture here I would - just so you can see how sassy and fun they are. :)

  23. Who said you can't wear ruffles!? You can wear anything you want. Pigtails are cute.

  25. take comfort, once you hit about 60 you can start wearing the ruffled suits again. thats what the older gals at my pool do. and the best part, they are old and can do whatever they want!

    ReplyDelete
  26. i think you look cute with pig tails! ;)
    and you can wear whatever you want, people judge no matter what. you always look adorable so pull off whatever you feel like you can!

    have you ever seen the show "big comfy couch"? that girl always wears her hair in pig tails, ha!

  27. i love pigtails as i always wear my hair too short for one ponytail, but can usually scrape it into two low pigtails. and i love rumba shorts, too. and...my favorite bathing suit has a ruffle on it, but across the top, not the bottom. i think that works a little better for those of us over six!

  28. Well you know, they do have ruffled swim suits but they usually come with an X somewhere in on the size tag. It's pretty much one of my goals to NEVER have ruffles on my swim suit lol.

    ReplyDelete
  29. custom...with ruffles only on the butt and a seriously low cut front then he;ll be begging for the ruffle suit. LOL

    PS are your eyes blue?

  30. I still wear pigtails except they're lower, down by my chin.

    I'm sure your hubby would love it if you donned a cheerleader outfit with those pigtails!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Who are you kidding? You could so rock that ruffle look.

    ReplyDelete
  32. LOL. I once put pigtails in my hair for a workout and the boyfriend looked at me like I had grown another head. Guess I can't rock the pigtails like you!

    Visiting you from SITS--have a great day!

  33. The pigtails look cute on you. You could sooooo pull off that look :D

    ReplyDelete
  34. You've got it all wrong! Ruffles and swimsuits are totally in right now! Oh yea, I've been eyeballing a few, with cute little ruffles right on the butt/crotch area. They probably make your butt look huge but they're totally in, I assure you of this.

  35. Awww you look adorable! I found your blog on SITS - glad I stopped by - too freakin cute! Love your blog :)

    My DH is a cheesehead - WI born and raised...I thought for sure your blog would be covered in beer and Packers info - glad it wasn't! hehe
