Bras and panties and thongs, oh my!
At 50, I've finally got my undergarments dialed in.
Well, hello, my friends! It’s mid-February! Maybe the worst time of the year! Let’s talk about bras and shit!
First things first, the purpose of my lingerie is to provide good shape, disappear underneath my clothing, and be comfortable. It’s not to look “sexy.” (Written with a serious, non-sexy face.) Now, if I just so happen to look super hot while wearing it, heeyyyyyyy that’s a bonus, but certainly not why I’m spending my money on undergarments. All to say, if you are hoping for Valentine’s Day or date night options, I’m afraid you might be disappointed. (Although, Else Lingerie! So beautiful.)
This is what I like to call Real World Lingerie. RWL™.
Underwire Bras
I wear two colors in bras. Beige and black. Black when I’m wearing dark clothes and beige with everything else. For reference, I’m a 32D.
I simply cannot stand any sort of bra business showing through my tops. I will have NONE OF IT. Not even the tiniest little bit of lace showing through or when a “seamless” bra creates a little ridge on my sweater. (Because we all know…seamless bra cup edges eventually get tweaked.) This shit drives me bonkers, you guys.
These 2 bras never create issues and look as smooth as humanly possible under my clothing, all while giving me great shape.
