Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for September 04, 2016

That’s right, Cathy, blame the suit and not yourself!

Cathy – and all women for that matter – needs to find a suit that fits and just stop obsessing about how she looks in it. Nobody else cares!

[Sigh] Over-obsess much?

HI, MOM. Happy Sunday, “Cathy” Clan.

This is what makes me shake my head in disgust and confusion at people like Cathy. Unless the swimsuit is in absolute tatters, why throw something away that took time to shop for and hard-earned money to buy just because the season for using it is over? That seems absolutely ridiculous to me! Do styles really change that much from year to year or am I just completely out of the loop when it comes to shopping for bathing suits?

Hi, rgccviper! :-)

lightenup: Good one yesterday, Sis! ;-)

O-Kay: I’ve had the same (3) 1-piece swimsuits for around 15 years now. They’re very flattering on me and look brand new (probably because I never wear them in the water, LOL!). But you’re right: women should buy them for fit and comfort because no one (probably not even our own spouses) really care how we look in them anyhow! ;-)

Hello and Happy Sunday, fellow Cathy fans. Hope everyone’s having a really great Labor Day weekend so far! :-)

All that tsuris over the dumbest garment in the world, the swimsuit. Which doesn’t keep you warm OR dry, which looks terrible on almost everyone over 30, and which we wear only because others think we should. Ah well, some people like to leave the cellophane wrappers on their plastic eating utensils as well, I suppose.

Now would be a great time to go through all your summer clothes and toss or donate anything that you didn’t wear or doesn’t fit.

Not at $80 – $100 each, I don’t throw my bathing suit away. Luckily mine has lasted a long, long time and still looks ok on these old bones (and flab).
