In honor of Love Our Lurkers Day I
thought I would talk about something near and dear to my heart-
Lingerie!
I have said it before, and I will say
it again. I love it! To the point where I may have a bit of a
problem. But I am a savvy shopper. I love scoring a sale and finding
matching items for pieces I already own (that sort of sounds like I'm
antiquing, not underwear shopping). A lot of times I end up at the
discount stores, searching through the racks and racks of things. But
this is a crap shoot. Some days I can score a great deal, other days
there is nothing worth a second glance.
Anyway, my long standing love affair
started many years ago at the old stand by Victoria's Secret. They
were having some kind of giant sale. This is where I bought my first
pieces of lingerie (2 in fact). I still have them and wear them. Over
the years, for special occasions, I would go back to this anchor
store to spice up the lingerie box (yes, I have a box of it- which is now overflowing). But
recently I have noticed a disturbing trend. Everything sort of looks
the same. Nothing looks really all that sexy to me.
Then I thought (gasp) is it me? Do I
just own so much lingerie and little sexy things that I have
desensitized myself to the sexiness of it all??
I called in an expert. My husband. He
confirmed my suspicions. He mentioned something about it all sort of
looking the same, there were a lot of flowery patterns, and their
Pink collection looks like underwear you can see from space.
Don't get me wrong, I would probably
still wear it, but now I know hot pink zebra print is not his
thing. Also, I think this is actually a sports bra. That's another
thing, why is VS selling workout clothes and regular clothes? Where
is all the sexy underwear?
Our anniversary was just in September
and I wanted to find something new to add to my collection. But where
to go? My husband suggested Frederick's of Hollywood. I forgot this
was even a store. I vaguely remember them being in our mall when I
was in middle school and every time I walked past the window there
was always a lot of fringe and tassles. And that's when it hit me,
yes! Fringe and tassles. This could be my kind of place!
I found them online. I lost a good
chunk of my day drooling over all the sexy things, debating which
items I should splurge on and which I could wait for a sale. Then I
loaded up my virtual shopping cart. I anxiously awaited the mail man
everyday.
I bought a few items but this pair of
panties was by far my favorite (and the reaction I got from my
husband was pretty awesome too).
They made me feel instantly sexy. They
are completely impractical, but lovely at the same time.
Sure, on an average day I'm usually
wearing my cotton, bikini cut panties (not white though- usually
striped, or polka dotted, or Muppets). The weekends or when I am
going out with my husband I opt for a sexy little lacy thong and
matching bra (matching always ups the heat factor for me).
So I want to know, what kind of
underwear do you find sexiest? Is there a certain fabric or cut you
find sexier? (Either on you or on someone you like looking at in
their underwear.)
Stop lurking and leave a comment. I
promise I don't bite!
