I don't know about you, but when I am wearing nice undergarments I just feel better. I know usually nobody sees them, but just knowing I have something new on adds a kick in my step and I just feel better about my body over all. I know as a Mom, I often let this part of me slide. My sexy side. I seem to be all about 'getting through the day' lately. I want that sexy, playful and fun person to come back. I think it will have to start with brand new undergarments.
My family comes first, but seriously I think it is wrong that I am jealous over how many cute undies all of my girls have! LOL! Now their drawers over flow!
Myself, I wear the same two boring bras over and over again (one is boring blah beige, and the other is black for when I go out--and that is not very often!) I wear them until the elastic is worn out, and I HAVE to replace them. My underwear drawer, well it is pretty empty. I do not love my undies. I do not love my undergarments that is for sure. They are utilitarian, more than sexy. I am happy if I have clean pair in my drawer! They are pretty boring actually.
Why haven't I gone out and simply bought more? Well it is just something that is at the low end of my priority list. I have a million excuses of why I have not. I am still breastfeeding, I have enough to get by. You may too have the same excuses.
The truth of the matter is that we deserve to treat ourselves! Before we started our family (pre-kids) my lingerie drawer was over flowing with selection! I would have matching sets, enough for several changes a day if I wanted. As I added to my family, the selection dwindled, and they somehow got larger, uglier and I had many 'granny panties' etc. over the last ten years. Or the undies that fit before the pregnancy, and sort of fit after, but-not-quite-the-same-as-before undies.
Well now my baby making days are over. I promised myself that when I am done with feeding our last baby that I would go out and buy all new sets for myself. One for everyday of the week at least!
I know since I have been doing boudoir photography and seeing all of these great little lingerie sets just makes we want to go out and shop! There are so many wonderful choices out there, I just need to take the time to do that just for me.
I hope that you can do the same!
Does your underwear drawer make you happy today?!

Cath ~ Riki and I go to this great place in Langley (Brookswood) called Feminine Form. A litte pricey but worth it for the perfect fit and the one on one service. FYI. Lots of love, Andrea xo
You mean panties aren't supposed to have holes in them?? :o)
My bras sucked until about 8 hours ago, thanks for the little push I needed to go get a fitting done. I feel like a sexy woman again and not a milk machine!
What are 'matched undergarments?'
Fun underthingies are great if you're shopping for hubby - all you need to do to see if he will like them is throw them on the floor.
However, I'm a little pickier, and I want to know who thought Cuban-style undies were a good idea? Heaven forbid you have a round a$$, those things may as well be marketed as thongs to me!
I'm with you though, Cathy - I totally just bought my first 'fundies' in years a few weeks ago. Felt good. though i have to admit, I still like my utilitarian bras best.
H - Matched Undergarments are bras that match the undies to me :D
