I’m Talking Bras and Panties…

We all wear them… (I hope). Bras and panties are necessary items of clothing. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that these essential items have gotten more and more expensive. Even at Kohl’s, a href=”http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/intimates/panties/bikinis/PRD~149185/Jockey+elance+String+Bikini+3pk.jsp” rel=”nofollow” >3-pack of basic cotton undies is $18.00. I don’t know about you, but I think that’s a little steep for cotton undies. It’s a tough call because you want to have quality bras and panties, you don’t want anything falling a part after a few wears and washes. So – quality bras and panties, where could and/or should one look?… Victoria’s Secret.

I know… I know… when we think of Victoria’s Secret undies we usually think of super, skinny models in sexy undies like this – right?

I can assure you that’s not an outfit I wear around my house, as I’m pretty sure most moms don’t either.

Victoria’s Secret is known for their sexy bras and panties… but they also have some incredible “tamer” styles that I have absolutely loved and have raved about for years. The reason I’m bringing Victoria’s Secret up today is because they’re having one of their Semi-Annual Sales right now, and with that comes huge savings on usually pretty expensive undergarments. Up to 50% off on panties. Up to 40% off on bras. And there’s tons of sales on clothing and the PINK collection. I’m not kidding when I say that I have “hit” this sale ever year since 2004. Odd that I know the year… yes. I was working in NYC at the time, VERY pregnant with William and walked 11 blocks in the summer heat to get to this sale. I bought about 20 pairs of panties. I was able to even get some in the store for $1.99!

What kinds of stuff can you find?

You can find some classic high-brief cotton panties for $3.99 (normally $7.50, which is insanity!)…

Cover for anything with these colorful cotton undies.
• Silky-soft and stretchy
• Pretty picot trim
• Full back coverage
• Sits at waist
• Imported cotton/Lycra® spandex; 100% cotton interior panty panel

There’s tons more like this… in sizes XS, S, M, L and XL. If you can, stock up!

On the bra front… you can find some really great fitting bras that actually do their JOB for under $20 right now. That’s cheaper than the GAP! One thing I love about Victoria Secret’s bras is that when you find one that fits you like a glove, it can last a LONG TIME. You’re not wasting money.

Even the BioFit is on sale for $14.99!

There’s tons of bras on sale (some as low as $9.99) in sizes from 32AA to 40DD. Great time to find some bras.

The Semi-Annual Sale is online and in-stores.

    I think the key to bras is to wear the right size. The girls at VS do not measure correctly. You need a proper bra fitting from the little old ladies at Saks or Neiman. Seriously it makes a huge difference. I was told I was a 36 or 38C. Bras never fit right. Apparently I am a 34D or 34DD. The right bra make me look thinner makes my bra feel non-existent and leaves no marks on my shoulders.

    When Oprah does the bra show I no longer laugh I realize she is right it is life changing to wear the right size. Seriously made a huge difference in my self esteem.
