Is this bikini inappropriate?

Hi all, just NCed as you can see my bedroom furniture in these pics and I don't want it linked to my posting history. Regular poster though!

I just received this bikini set I bought online, and it is waaaaay more revealing than I thought!! The bottom is teeny tiny, and the top is also quite small and offers zero support (not that I need much...). I feel quite exposed wearing itShock

For context, I am 30, so not exactly a spring chicken anymore!

Is it too outrageously skimpy to wear? Shall I send it back and exchange it with some more, ehm, appropriate? Does it look tacky?

I have never worn anything this skimpy in public, not sure I'll have the guts to actually wear itBlush

If I had your figure I’d wear that waking around Asda. For a beach it’s absolutely fine!

Crass12 · 20/08/2019 18:12

You looked fab in it. You’ve got it, so flaunt it while you can

dementedpixie · 20/08/2019 18:15

Top looks fine. Bottoms are a bit skimpy

chorusline79 · 20/08/2019 18:15

30? A mere spring chicken! You look fantastic. Go for it I say ( as long as you don't feel uncomfortable)

bakedbeanzontoast · 20/08/2019 18:16

Age is only a number. Wear it.

BertrandRussell · 20/08/2019 18:17

Will you be comfortable and happy and able to swim and anything else you might want to do? If so-yes ir’s fine. If not- then not.

cocomelon23 · 20/08/2019 18:18

Are the bottoms meant to be that much up your bum? Do you feel comfortable in it?

Luxembourgmama · 20/08/2019 18:19

You look great wear it

DerelictWreck · 20/08/2019 18:19

You look fantastic and the bottoms style is very in.

Anyway, given that it's practically in your bum I'm not sure you can return it Grin

VikVal · 20/08/2019 18:21

It looks great and you look great, stop worrying!

ZaZathecat · 20/08/2019 18:21

If you're abroad on a sunny beach holiday there'll be plenty topless with only a thong on. You won't look in the least exposed.

AmateurSwami · 20/08/2019 18:22

With your figure I’d wear it to Tesco Grin

HannahManna · 20/08/2019 18:23

Thank you all for your kind comments!

Btw, I bought it for an upcoming holiday to Greece, so definitely a beach type of situation.

I think it looks too small, as in it doesn't fit you too small. Bottom half looks like it's digging his into your hips.

Sleephead1 · 20/08/2019 18:23

I think you look great and have a fab body so should wear it but only if you are happy and comfortable in it

AmateurSwami · 20/08/2019 18:23

@TastingTheRainbow I promise I’d don’t read your post before saying almost exactly the same

Oilyskinproblems · 20/08/2019 18:24

I wouldn’t wear it but purely because the one sided strap - the tan lines would annoy me! It’s definitely not inappropriate though so no worries there!

stucknoue · 20/08/2019 18:25

I wouldn't wear it to Tesco's but on the beach fine. (Not sure I would wear it to the local leisure centre either I stick to sensible swimming costumes there!)

QueenOfPain · 20/08/2019 18:26

Well it looks bloody great, but will you be comfortable?

Anchormann · 20/08/2019 18:26

You look fab. I'm envious I can't pull that off the way you can

Wear it, you have the body for it

LoonyLunaLoo · 20/08/2019 18:27

It looks great and you can totally get away with it but only wear it if you really feel comfortable in it or what’s the point?

MummyDummyNow · 20/08/2019 18:28

Looks fab! Was expecting some kind of teeny tiny triangles over boobs and a thong Grin Wear it and enjoy your holiday!

AmateurSwami · 20/08/2019 18:28

I think it looks too small, as in it doesn't fit you too small. Bottom half looks like it's digging his into your hips.

I cannot Grin this reminds me of that Victoria’s Secret model meme where the fat guy on the sofa is like “her nose is a bit big”.

UnicornMadeOfPinkGlitter · 20/08/2019 18:29

Wear it. I noticed on holiday last week that every bikini seems to be designed to be looking like you have a wedgie.

Women of all shapes and sizes wearing bikinis so you have nothing to worry about. I stood out more in a one piece as literally the only woman wearing a one piece. This was in Greece.
Have arrived in lanzarote today and it’s bikinis everywhere here as well.

Love the one shoulder look of the top.

justaweeone · 20/08/2019 18:29

You look fab in it!
