I have passion for the color red. Especially red clothing. Especially red clothing that hugs the body and shows off arms, shoulders and upper back.This swimsuit from a well known mail order catalog caught my eye today. Oh my; check out that color, check out the ruffle at the low cut neckline, check out that smart and sassy pareo tied against the right hip. I've gone off the deep end of the pool on this one.
I've seen some women wear what looks like swimwear at the Danskin Triathlon. Amidst the more traditional tri suits, shorts and T's, these women catch my eye. Sometimes I spy a one piece suit and sometimes a two piece. And, I wonder.....is this comfortable for that long journey? Probably not.
My fantasy has me wearing this beauty on the swim, bike and run come July and August 2009. The pareo I'll save for the finish line, tossed to me by my proud husband who cheers me along the final fifty yards of sprint. Ahhhh, how sweet the image.
Kate, I went to the catalogue and saw their description, which suggested this style suit was best for someone with a "rectangular shape." Excuse me? From what I learned at the block station in kindergarten, the woman pictured does not have what I would consider a "rectangular shape." If she does, I want one, too!
ReplyDeletebtw, you'll look simply fabulous in it. Keep telling us about your training, so you can inspire me to pick up the pace with my softy work-outs at the gym.
With hope, Wendy
It will look fabulous on you. Especially at the finish line!
ReplyDeleteLove that suit, and the wrap is the frosting on the cake. You will look stylish as you cross the finish line ~ what a great image.
ReplyDeleteI think the number on your thigh will look great just peeking out of the fabric...power and beauty all in one package! :D
ReplyDeleteI'd go for it if I were you. This is a symbolic run/swim/ride you are making, I'd say. Wear red.
ReplyDeleteIts so great to hear you speculating about a successful race!!! You're going to do it!
ReplyDeleteThis is actually very cute! More seems like a "wrap" that one would wear chilling on the beach. Very fun!
ReplyDeleteAlways good to have a reward in mind for all your hard work! I hope you ordered it!
