Despite my rumpled, juice-box-stained, comfort-as-main-criterion appearance, I do appreciate fashion. In fact, as a fifth grader, I was voted "Best Dressed." Granted, my toughest competitor in Miss Kern's gifted class wore high-waisted floods and Zips, but at least I knew that Esprit was not pronounced "E-Spirit." Today, I'm far too cheap and busy with my kids* to shop. So, on the off-chance that I stumble across a clothing item that I actually love, and can order online (sometimes with coupons!), I am beyond excited. Taking a cue from the comedy and shopping genius Mindy Kaling (The Office's "Kelly Kapoor") who contributes to a product blog at thingsiboughtthatilove.com, I'm kicking off my blog with a tribute to the Spanx Bra-llelujah bra.
Now, I realize this bra was recently promoted on the Rachael Ray show, which means that (1) according to the lady at BraSmyth, it's sold out everywhere, and (2) it's often worn under Quacker Factory apparel. Not to dispute a bra expert, but a Rachael Ray mention does not equal the "O List." The bra is hard to find because it is the BEST BRA EVER! Okay, it's not sexy, unless your partner loves smooth, beige and synthetic. However, not only is it comfortable and supportive, but it is invisible under even those flimsy-ass tissue and vintage tees! No more back fat! No more unsightly hooks! Nothing unseamly back there. I am telling you, ladies and manboobs, wear this when you go summer shopping and you will actually purchase some cute t-shirts! Plus, it is really not that scarce. You can get it online.
As the photo demonstrates, this bra has officially been pimped.
