Day # 10,465 - 2 Cups+2 Straps = Pure Bliss

The Perfect Purchase

I am writing this post from a very comfortable place. You see, I have been fortunate enough to find the most perfect brassiere a few weeks ago. In my short 14 years of wearing these “gatekeepers” I must say that this one takes the cake.

Let me tell you how I met her……

I was in the middle of a retail therapy session when I got the strange feeling that something awaited me in the lingerie department. I tried to shake the feeling, since my usual “lingerie” purchases consisted of grabbing a bag of drawers from Wal-Mart or Target. Anyways, I mosey on over, and I’m nearly accosted by what is the biggest bra I’ve ever seen, I try not to laugh, but I can’t help myself (now you know why I shop at Wal-Mart for my unmentionables). I continue venturing further and further into the lace and chiffon jungle, and I feel like a pre-teen boy accompanying his mother on underwear excursion. Yes! Panties make me blush… not in a freaky weird way, but in a “I hope aint nobody watching me look at panties” kinda way… What do you expect?? I was raised by my single father… So, I’m just about ready to hit the eject button, when something caught my attention. I don’t know what made me look at it, but I did. and When I did, I immediatley remembered my grandma’s “bra basics” (feel, check for underwire, and check for size). I touched it, and it was soft. I checked for an under wire, and there was none. I checked the size, Bingo! I was pleased, so I purchased it.

All the way home I thought about this bra, wondering if it would be like all of the other useless , yet pretty bras I had back home. I prayed that it wouldn’t. I also wondered if this bra is the same one a friend of mine bragged about for over three weeks after she got it…. I hoped I was as lucky.

A week later, I give this new bra a test drive. And let me tell you, this thing lifts, separates, and hugs your girls in all the right places. The straps stay in place all day, and because its made of micro fiber its totally seamless. My favorite part is that it has built in petals to prevent those embarrassing moments, you know the ones where you get a cold chill and all of the sudden you’re giving directions (you know what I’m talking about). There’s no under wire, so you’re not getting poked, and it’s so thin (yet supportive) that you can easily forget that you have it on. And the best part, it costs less than 60$. Not bad eh…

The Bra is by Warner’s and it’s amazing, I urge you to go and get one for yourself. It’s definitely worth every penny, and you’ll love the complements from your significant other (and total strangers too) . They come in a variety of neutral, and if you’re daring bright colors (nude, brown, black, red, pink, blue etc…)

Tell me about your perfect purchase….

I bought a bra on a whim not that long ago. I forget who makes it, but it's very comfortable - it gives mad support. After breastfeeding three kids, you REALLY need that extra lift. I've said too much.

Gotta love a good over the shoulder boulder holder. I like Warner, Bali and Wacoal. And ya'll are on the BTC (big titty committee) with me, so you can appreciate a good bra :) heheheh
