Underwear: The Wrap Up

So, we've gone over how to know you're wearing the right (or the wrong) bra. We've talked about VPL's, why cotton is best, and the fact that everything but black and nude is just "sprinkles." I want to leave you a few final thoughts to close underwear week.

-Turn off the headlights. You know how when you catch a chill, the twins get that "turkey's done" look? Let's all make a commitment to avoid that look. I know, sometimes it's THAT cold, and it's inescapable. But for the most part, you can keep it under wraps. Wear a bra that's lightly to moderately lined. A slightly molded cup is great. Another option: Those silicon pasties I mentioned the other day? Stick 'em on under your bra. They work like a charm. Or try regular old band aids. Stick them right over the offending pop-o-matic in an X shape. Not too tight or they'll show.

-White under white is a HUGE no-no. Just don't do it, or I'll haunt your dreams. I promise you.

-Show-through colors is trashy. It's not cute, it's not funky, it's not fun and interesting. Fun and interesting is adding a pop of unexpected color like a scarf, handbag, or even tights. NOT a bra!

-Shop around for great accommodation pieces. There's all kinds of cool stuff out there- plastic clips that turn your regular bras into racerbacks and add lift, silicone cups that stick to your boobs so you can go backless, and tons of other things. Keep your eyes open for great deals!






I hope you've all enjoyed underwear week and learned a few things! Remember- Friends don't let friends show panty lines!

Stay tuned, next week we're looking at all the best spring trends and the worst things we've seen in fashion!
