Homemade Bikini: Grandma’s Suggestion
There’s a name for “homemade bikini” now, it’s Tankini! I just saw one online and remembered my grandma again. Don’t I know this yet? Grandma is ALWAYS right!
As I was browsing a bikini website, I remembered an episode when it’s beach time with the homies and I didn’t have anything to wear. It was my grandma who suggested that I wear my nicest undie with a sleeveless top. I told her that the style she was pointing at existed only during the 60’s!
Now, however, I regret saying that because I just discovered a bikini style that fits grandma’s idea exactly: Tankinis! Sure, the material in commercially advertised ones is a bit different, but the style and the look is the same: like a sleeveless home blouse with a fancy undie.
Another way of creating a “homemade bikini” is to mix and match bikini bottoms with sleeveless shirts. Why do some girls prefer their tops covered? Well, some girls don’t like showing off their belly buttons or exposing their bustline too much. The tankini style is modest yet sexy. One can even play with colors, and scarves to wrap the bottom part for a frilly look.
There was also someone who told me that I can wear a belt with jiggling bells and what-not, for a really flirty walk down the beach.
Tankinis rock!
