Boycotting VS

DISCLAIMER: I am going to talk about bras and the search for them. Read at your own risk.


I'm going to start by saying I'm boycotting Victoria's Secret. It's the only store I've ever shopped in that actually causes me dislike myself and my boobs. It's a bra store, right? So you would think they would carry an assortment of bras... not just several styles of pretty bras, but lots of pretty bras in various sizes. When the girl measured me the first thing she said was "we don't have anything in your size... You'll have to try this size." I say "oh, super"... she brings me 4 of the ugliest granny type bras - granted I've seen uglier, but these were bad! I'm in VICTORIA'S SECRET for crying out loud! Where are the "sexy" bras they advertise? Because these were NOT them! They had big fat straps and 4 hooks in the back, if you could have seen the routine I was going through to put these things on! Finally get the first one on - surprise! It doesn't fit... the next one, same, the 3rd one same. With the 4th one I had some luck at least it fit, however I had no interest in looking like Madonna with cones on my chest - and for $48 no less. It was too much!! ;-)


From there it was off to Lane Bryant... where I should have gone to begin with. Sure enough, I walk right in, they have the style I like, I picked 2, tried them on and they fit perfectly. Lucky me - buy 1 get 1 half off!! 2 for $50 heck of a deal! Started to feel a little bit better about myself...
