I had mentioned in one of my previous posts that there was a
funny story behind my bikini and swim suit. Here it is…
I was searching for maternity swimwear online and found that
ASOS had a very nice collection. After some looking around, I found a two piece
swim suit which had a brief and a tankini top that would cover my bulging
belly. I really liked it and placed an order for it. Along with it, I also
ordered a couple of maternity dresses and some accessories. The expected
delivery was within 15 days and I received the package in 11 days. Wow!!
The maternity dresses and accessories were perfect, but I
was in for a shock when I opened the swim wear package. Only the brief had
arrived, there was no trace of the tankini top!!!! I rushed to ASOS website to
check what was wrong; and to my dismay, I realized that what I had ordered was
only the brief. The picture of the top was given along with it, but it had to
be ordered separately. In my excitement, I had not realized this and had
thought that I was ordering the whole look. My bad!! L
Since I still had a month left for my travel, I placed the
order for the top. The expected delivery date was 19th August,
leaving enough time for our departure on 31st. Also, going by the
previous experience, I could expect it sooner. Not to be… <sigh>. 19th
came and went, but no sign of the package. It was an international delivery by
ordinary post, so there was no tracking available. I had no way of knowing
where my package was stuck, and my departure date was fast approaching.
Giving up all hope, I rushed out for my last minute search
of a swim wear. I did not get one that would cover my belly, but had to settle
for a two piece bikini from Roxy. It would have looked nice on a non-prego
girl, but with my bulging belly, I would need some courage to wear it!! anyway,
I kept a sarong with me so that I cover myself up whenever I felt
uncomfortable.
The irony of it all came when I got to know that the top had
arrived the day after I left for my babymoon!!!! @&^%#$!
It happens when you only see the picture and the price tag and don't read the lines in between :P
