Catherine,

You are so right about being able to wear what you want but in my head I still have a little voice saying, “You’re a 60 year old woman with spider veins and a thick waist.”
I wear a 2 piece at home in my pool ,but I still look down and say ,WTF?

Hugs to my new friend!

I am going to respectfully add my two cents. You have a great figure. You SHOULD be wearing a two piece! Don’t give into that mumbo jumbo about women our age (actually you are a baby compared to my 62 years) should not wear two pieces! Let them judge because it’s THEIR issue to judge an older woman on what she should or should not wear!
When I’m in France each summer I am gloriously happy to see women of all shapes, sizes and ages frolicking in the sun in teeny bikinis and the bottom half only of those teeny bikinis. Nobody gives the women a second glance! I will be swimwear shopping soon and plan on purchasing a couple of higher cut bikinis.
But the important thing is this–you are very comfortable in that lovely one piece and it’ll serve the purpose of no tan lines for your son’s wedding.
Please wear sunscreen though–I baked for years and ended up having Mohs surgery on my face!
Best!
