First bare-legged day of the year! Yes, they may be blindingly white, and yes, my razor got a great workout this morning, but when it's near 70 with blue skies and sunshine there's not a soul that could make me wiggle into a pair of tights! I did wear a pair of bike shorts from F21 underneath to conquer the dreaded chub rub though. I often wear Spanx for that reason in the summer as well.
I'm still loving this dress from F21 (see it remixed here). All the crazy colors in it make it super versatile - I'm planning to wear it with a green or yellow cardi at one point, and definitely with my optimistic shoes :) I might do a bit of DIY tailoring and take in the straps a tiny bit because the front of the dress kept falling down and showing off my bra - good thing I chose my trusty nude one today.
Speaking of bras - if you're a big busted girl like me you know how ridiculously difficult it is to find a bra that's comfortable, supportive, and doesn't look like it belonged to your grandmother in the 1920's. Now, I tried different bra's for years without ever being completely satisfied - I'd always have some qualm with whatever bra I wore whether it be that it rode up in the back, spillage in the cups (or 4 boob, as I call it), or that I suddenly seemed to have torpedos for tatas. Enter the Wacoal Elegence Hidden Underwire Minimizer Bra. I have been wearing this bra style for about six years and have never looked back. For everyday wear, it's the ultimate, end-all be-all minimizer bra, and it goes up to a size 44G. Yes, it's a pricey purchase at about $60, but I look at it this way - I'd spend $60 on a dress I really loved or on a pair of killer heels; but I won't wear either of those things as much as I'd wear this bra.
As wonderful as this bra is, don't ever underestimate the importance of wearing the proper bra size. When I finally got a professional bra fitting (and was told I had been wearing the wrong size, both cup and band), it changed how I looked and felt in my clothes completely. A professional bra fitting is something every woman should do!
