Laundry

I'm going to be crass here ladies and gentlemen and talk about my closet. Well, that is nothing new, but I'm talking about a particular drawer in my closet... my drawer of well, 'unmentionables.' To be more specific, my lingerie drawer. To break it down further... MY BRAS. Alright, gentlemen, you can take off now, have a nice day! 
I have always had the problem of not being able to fit into my bras and so lingerie shopping is a bit of a problem for me. I'll try on a few and buy the one that fits the best that particular day and for the rest of the month suffer with the new bra until it is broken in. In this way I also have a tendency to buy the wrong size and I'll suffer because I have no idea what size I really am.

SOLUTION #1: Go to your nearest lingerie store and get your size done! I am aware that JC Penny has the occasional 'bra sizing day' which is convenient. Check the days, or call ahead, the girls at the desk might be more aware of it then I am! The other option that I know does it every day is Victoria's Secret at the mall, particular outlets or maybe there is a size chart on their website! At least once a year I go there and check it out and see whats on sale too!

SOLUTION #2: Buy that absolute perfect size that you know will fit you from now until you decide to stop wearing bras! (Which I think can be at any point in time...) Now take this size and write it on a card and stick it in your purse. Not a bad plan right? Just remember to move that card from purse to purse and you're all set! ALSO with this plan when you get sized at your linguine store use that card that you got from them and stick that in your purse too! 

SOLUTION #3: You have bought your absolute favorite bra and you are all sized and you have your favorite size etc etc ... and now you wear it every day and you sash it everyday. Awesome! One light issue...  you forget what size it is and oh crap... the tag is gone. You no longer know the size of your favorite bra/size because the tag is gone. In my case usually this is because I've washed it so many times and it's now no longer legible. It happens. My solution? I take a sharpie and write in the strap write the size! Brilliant! Now it can't wash off and when it starts to get a little faded  I just touch it up! And now when I go shopping its there and ready for me and I don't need to search my purse again to look for that damn receipt!
