Hey guys!
So if there's one thing I know about dressing well it's that it doesn't matter how chic you look or how long it took to put together that outfit, if you don't have the right foundation, it's not going to work. No, I'm not talking about your makeup... if you don't have the right undergarments then how do you expect the outer garments to look right?
Today, I'm going to talk to you all about my go to foundations. I'm going to say up front that I work part time at Macy's so while I don't have the budget of most fashion bloggers, I still like to indulge myself a little. My favorite thing about intimate apparel is that even if you're single, it' nice to have some sultry numbers that you can throw every once in a while. Whether you're wearing your favorite unlined lace bra to simply run errands around town or you're just lounging around during a night in while wearing a lace chemise and a silk robe; undergarments are in my opinion, a huge confidence boost. They're the ultimate luxury. I can't tell you how many times I love wearing my favorite bra with the silk robe my best friend got me while in Thailand. Throw on a lingerie set, grab a cup of tea or a glass of wine with a classic like Breakfast At Tiffany's and bam! You have your own personal girl's night.
Whenever you go shopping for new undies, obviously stick to your staples like a smooth, seamless bikini or hipster but jazz it up with lace accents or whatever floats your boat. Just make sure that you don't go too color crazy because then it kind of defeats the purpose and might just show through clothing. Don't forget to spoil yourself a little with an occasional lace or mesh pair of panties in a beautiful color. I was in Target a week or two ago with my best friend and we happened to stumble upon Gilligan and O'malley's new intimates collection. With gorgeous deep burgundy and pale purple, even your everyday black and nude, the lace collection was beautiful! Ranging from $10.99- $19.99, these pieces have just the right amount of luxury for the right price.
One of my current favorites, this unlined lace balconette bra is classic and comfy and sexy and such a confidence booster. Details and colors here.
Now this little bugger is my absolute favorite at the moment. So comfy, so sexy and soooo cute. I've done everything from going to work to sleeping in this bralette. Details and colors here.
This number is super cute. Very soft and comfortable. No underwire, clasps or anything. Just slip it on and lounge. It's the perfect thing to wear when you're home alone and dancin' in your undies. Details and colors here.
Now onto the second or should I say bottom half of this post. I love me a nice silky smooth pair of panties to go about my day in so when I picked up the next couple pairs you're about to see, I fell in love. (Bonus: Every pair featured is no-show, so no panty lines!)
Seriously soft. Like, seriously. With the right amount of lace, this pair of undies is perfect for everyday life. I am telling you, these glide on and are so comfy you'll think you forgot to put on underwear. Details and colors here.
Now listen, everybody needs a good pair of black undies and a good pair of nude undies. Plain and simple. Comfy and classic. Details and colors here.
And last but not least, well okay technically it is the least... the thong. This seamless version is friction free (I'm just being honest here) and totally comfortable. For those super, suuuuuper skinny jeans, these are the way to go. Details and colors here.
To sum up these intimate details, the lace is the most comfortable lace I've ever worn, the panties slide right on and do not lose their shape and overall, it's fairly cheap for the quality you're getting. Although the website says not sold in stores, I bought everything wait for it.... In store. If there's one last intimate detail I must share, it's that if you can, TRY BEFORE YOU BUY! I just gave the fitting room attendant an understanding look as I politely asked if I could just slip some underwear on over my own because I didn't know my size. Luckily she said yes, but not everyone will. Try your hardest to try on a pair if you've never worn the brand before or you're honestly just not sure. Bras you can always try on but trust me, it's worth the extra ten minutes to save yourself from the frustration of a too-small-bra or a big-panty-catastrophe.
That's all for now, folks. I believe this long post somewhat makes up for my absence, now onto lounging in lace and silk...
