"Tankini's" and skinny mirrors

So, as you probably guessed by my title, I went clothes shopping today. I did not, however, try on a tankini. No matter where I went, though, these things were present. In case you dont know what Im talking about, it's the new (well, a couple years now maybe) bathing suit. It consists of a top, which is usually midriff to t-shirt length, and a bottom, which can be bikini cut, boyshorts, skirts, etc. This way, you are free to "mix and match." And I can see the appeal of it - if you want to cover your hips you can do it and still be free to chose a low cut top or a more modest top without changing your bottoms, for example. My gripe, however, is that this is ALL THERE IS! Really, there are like five one-peice choices for every 50 mix and matches. And those choices are limited to designs featuring huge bright flowers or solids, many times with skirts (the type that my grandma used to wear). Why do these swimsuit manufacturers assume that everybody is just going to jump on board to this trend? I, for one, am not a fan. And it's not just because I just had a baby (that excuse for clothes not fitting right is allowed by the way for a whole year post-partum - I read it in a magazine). It is that some people, including myself right now, just should not appear in public with their belly buttons showing! Am I alone?
Now, on to a seperate matter. Skinny mirrors! Actually, skinny mirrors may not be the issue. In fact, I am going to assume, and tell myself that there are no such thing as skinny mirrors. There are in reality - fat mirrors. Like the one in my bedroom. I try my clothes on in the store and they look so great in the very true to life, calabrated to an exact science, mirrors. It just so happens that American Eagle has the most precise mirrors. That is where I buy the best looking jeans. The problem is that when I get them home and try them on in front of my bedroom mirror they dont look so hot. I just havent been able to determine why. In the past, I just resigned to the belief that the mirrors in the stores are specially designed to make you look skinnier. But my beliefs have changed. After several minutes in front of various mirrors today I have determined that there is no such thing as skinny mirrors, at least in the stores where I shop. Instead, my bedroom mirror is terribly distorted. Time for a new mirror! Or maybe no mirror - that'll shave about 50 minutes off of my morning routine.
