Good Junque: Bra Talk

I am one of those gals that has like 100 pair of underwear, in every color and style. I can't help myself, I just can't ever resist a cute pair. When it comes to bras I think I am the exact opposite. It may be because I have an average cup size and it's never been a real issue finding decent bras. But I have heard a lot of buzz about getting fitted and that most women don't really know their size and often wear bras that don't fit.

Most of my bras are beginning to fall apart so I decided it was time to look at my next purchases more carefully. Bra's can be really expensive so for me it was about investing in some bra's that would last a long time and that were very comfortable. Possibly due to their marketing, I always tend to buy bra's from Victoria's Secret, but I have found that I don't end up wearing them that often because they don't fit me right and they don't wash well.

For my birthday I received a $10 off coupon to Soma. Now, before I ever walked into that store I had always assumed that is was all granny panties and Mumu's. A couple of Christmas' ago my boyfriend bought me a beautiful robe from Soma and I have warn it to a pulp. After Christmas they also have a huge sale and so I bought some sleep pants. Seriously they are the softest most comfortable sleep pants I own. They also come in sleek, modern, and sophisticated prints so I don't look like I stole a 12 year old's pj's.

Ok back to bras... So I went this weekend and let them fit me for a bra and I learned a couple things, I am both a 36 B AND a 34 C. Depending on the brand's or styles I fluctuate between a 34 and 36, but I didn't realize that increasing the cup size when you go to a smaller chest size is what I had been doing wrong all this time! I tried on about 10 bras and honestly I could have bought them all! I decided to purchase just 1 but now I am going to go back and by the strapless too.
