Foundational Undergarments

I spent $79 dollars today on underwear. Yes, I am sorry to say you did read that correctly and it is not a typo. Seventy nine dollars. On Underwear. Designed to be worn, you guessed it, under what you are wearing. Now I did buy more than one bra, two in fact, and 5 pairs of underwear. But $79?

See, here’s the thing. I am not a 36C. We will not be discussing what size I actually am, but what I can tell you is I have not been a 36C since I became a mother, and we’ll just leave it at that. It seems that if you are not a 36C you have to go to special underwear stores if you want a decent bra. I am a girl who wants a decent bra. I don’t need to have nice clothes, I am okay with Wal-mart t-shirts and jeans; I am not a clothes snob, really. I may have too many pairs of shoes, but rest assured, they are cheep shoes. I don’t like spending a lot of money on clothes.

But, well, I’m for a good foundation. If you are building a building you must construct a solid foundation if you want the building to stand tall and strong.

I want my building to stand tall and strong. I need foundational underwear. But really! It’s not actually made out of cement and re-bar, it’s just cotton spandexie stuff and some metal hooks. Can’t they make a decent foundational bra out of that stuff for less than $79?

I got a good chuckle out of your strong building analogies. I am a 36 C and let me tell you that it is hard to buy a normal bra. I don't want push up and padding. I am happy just looking like a C. I cannot find a plain old cute bra!

Now after nursing 3 children it's really hard to find a size that fits deflated balloons....
