I call them parachutes, they call them bras!

I was really dreading my fitting for the bra that would go with my dress. And I say dreading because I have been overly blessed in the boob area, and it's sooooo hard to shop for the right bra. Especially a strapless bra!!!!!!!!!

So I headed out to West Covina to Sheer Pleasures. I have been going there for four years off and on. They have the size I need, and the bras help with good posture and less back pain! I have to add that the kind of bras I have to wear look like parachutes. They look complicated and are not the most attractive or sexy. LOL!

So I show up along with my wedding dress and pretty much two hours later walk out with the right bra. Actually I walked out with two bras. A strapless one for my wedding day and another to add to my collection. I was satisfied with my purchase and I was glad to get that out of the way.

Furthermore I also learned something new about myself. I remember the first time I went there, which was in 2005, I was really self conscious about my body. You know, you have to pretty much be naked, well at least the upper half. The ladies there get to see the "girls" because they have to measure, help with putting on the bra, etc. etc. So this time around I really just let it all hang out. LOL! I realized that the older I get the more I feel comfortable with my body. I still can improve on a lot of things, but hey whatever, I just didn't seem to focus too much on my imperfections this time around. :)

I agree. The best part about getting older is really growing into yourself. I think it helps to be in love- knowing that our men love us just the way we are. :)

I wish I was this confident when I was younger! :)

You and I are at the total opposite ends in the boob spectrum . . .you are overly blessed and I am underly blessed. But never the less, I am also content and accept the way I look. Sure I can get some implants, but in the end I don't think I would be happy with myself, I would just focus on another imperfection and try to fix that until I turned myself into a completely different person.
