I used to make fun of my mom for wearing a swimsuit with a skirt attached.  I grew up swimming at a local college where they required you to wear their swimsuits.  Suits that had a big flap across the front, which for lack of a better word, I called a skirt.  

Over the past several years, I've been curiously watching swim skirts re-emerge.  This is a bandwagon I just might jump on.  They're practical, and cover more.  Let's face it, this isn't the body I had at 20.  I am now a creature of practicality and comfort.  So I'm keeping my eyes out for swim skirts.  I've seen some cute ones that coordinate with a suit.  But I may just pick up a plain versatile one, to hold me over until I find something I love.
