A Shock

This post is a shock because I never thought I would be able to do this. I'm posting pictures of myself at the beach.



I love the water and swimming, but not the immodesty. I had pretty much given up beach going. However, Shannon came up with a brilliant solution. I'll let her tell her story, but I copied her and found a short-sleeved leotard, board shorts and a big tankini.



The result is a modest (even when wet) combination that allows me to swim and play around without being immodest. When the tankini rises the leotard covers everything.



These pictures were taken on my actual birthday. Shannon, once again, is the photographer.

It's very comfortable and light. I'm so glad Shannon came up with the idea.The water isn't really that cold. It just startled me.

  1. What a wonderful idea! Your swimsuit looks great on you. It's so encouraging to hear from someone who is committed to dressing modestly -- even while enjoying a day at the beach! :) *Two thumbs up from me!*

  3. I must echo Janna and Lauren. That is a great idea. And you do look great. This certainly exceeds my attempts at swimming modestly--either wearing loose and sporty pants with a t-shirt, or wearing long spandex racing swim shorts covered with loose flannel shorts while wearing a swim suit top topped with a ruched part-spandex shirt. Thank you for sharing the great idea!

  4. I have to say I was thrilled when Shannon came up with the idea! It's encouraging to hear that other people like as well, and don't think it's *too* weird. :-)
