Due to the blogging break that I took for my exams, I have a long list of posts lined up that are a bit out of date. Biggest event that happened during my exams was the opening of a Victoria's Secret, which caused a frenzy of excitement. I was lucky enough to score a $100 gift card to Victoria's Secret as they were being passed out just outside my school one day. So needless to say, I was extremely excited to get shopping!
What follows is going to be a frank talk about lingerie, and so if you're a guy, this might not interest you. The moment I walked into the store, I had one goal in mind: to get as many bras in my size as possible. Being very small (32A), it's difficult enough to find well-fitting bras, but I was also mainly looking for nude bras as those are the most versatile, which narrowed down the selection even more. I ended up going into the change room with around 11 bras, and came out with only one that fit me well. It was a cotton push-up bra that, to my luck, was also the cheapest bra out of the eleven. With $100, I was able to buy four bras - one nude, one white, and two others for my mom.
When you go Victoria's Secret, you might as well go push-up. But as I was trying on all 11 bras, I realized something about push-up bras: You still need something to push up. It's not a miracle bra; it simply enhances what you already have. Since I don't have much to push up, with the majority of push-up bras that I tried on, it ended up being a ridiculously padded bra that left inches of hollow space at the top. And while one push-up bra did somewhat fit me, it made me look like I was going to tip over. The cotton one that I bought has a subtle push-up that gives a little oomph, but still manages to look natural, and that's key. Now if anyone asks, my secret is Victoria's Secret.
