Sure, maybe you’re the type who has the days of the week on their underwear.  Me?  I could use an underwear makeover.I promise to try to keep this clean, but like my underwear, there may be a few holes to that.  See, I think I have undergarments older than Annie.  Now, that’s not good.  She’s eight.  Am I over-sharing?  Sure, but when was the last time you really opened up a case of reality?  Perusing through Victoria Secrets a couple of weeks ago was very telling.  I walked around, went straight to the “bargain bin” and began to collect a handful of underwear in white, black and nude.  “Really?” I know I’m not the thong type, nor do I have the cup size for even the wonderbra.

So, yeah, that’s where I look, in the bargain bin.  But what do I do?  I put them all back and realize I can’t see myself paying $5 per pair.  Come on?  If you were walking around in 8 year old underwear, what would you pay?  Beginning to talk to myself in the store, I noticed the women, or young girls, all around me, looking at the pretty lacey things, picking them up, trying them on, and BUYING THEM!  Did she see the price tag for that bra?  They average $45!

What to do now?  Head to chez-mar-shalls and see what they have there.  Now that’s more like it.  I’ll find prices more in my range.  Digging around, I find the three for $5 in white, black and beige. Not terribly exciting, I know.  But I needed younger underwear.  So Happy!  But will I find my bra size? Ok, time to share.  I’m a 36A.   36A.  That’s not a size you find very often.  Determined to find one, I hit not one, but three Marshalls and TJ Maxx, determined to get my brand new bras.

I found one.  And what color was it?  White.  One.  One White bra.  Do I continue the trend?  What would you do?  What am I going to do to get out of this boring underwear rut without breaking the bank?

Maybe there is an underwear fairy godmother.  Only, my underwear is probably older than she is.
