LOVELY LINGERIE
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, it seems fitting to discuss upgrading your undergarments. Why keep old, ill fitting or boring pieces when lovely lingerie options abound?
For whatever reason, I found myself holding on to undergarments for far longer than I should…I am not sure why as I would never wear clothing that was in the same condition. Last year, a few months after my daughter was born, I invested in an assortment of new lingerie basics. These well-fitting and pretty undergarments were an excellent choice. I like the confidence and sense of femininity I have when wearing these, just as I do when wearing a well-styled outfit. While I almost never match my shoes and handbag, I almost always match my underthings. Here are a few of my favorites…

NOT-SO-BASIC BRAS
I like having underwire support in my bras. It gives lift, support and makes clothing fit nicely. My favorites are the Stella McCartney Stella Smooth & Lace Contour Plunge Bra and Natori Feathers Collection. I tried a variety of options but these two are my favorites as they are comfortable and versatile while still incorporating beautiful details. The strapless versions and coordinating panties fit well and offer the same lovely lace and trims.

CHIC COMFORT
For times when comfort is the priority, I like the Cosabella Ceylon Criss Cross Bralet…its perfect to wear while lounging around the house. The beautiful lace and criss cross straps make slouchy tees and sheer fabrics a bit sexier.

LACE LAYERS
Also part of the Natori Feathers collection is this gorgeous lace bodysuit, which works perfectly under jackets and blouses. It adds a touch of glamour and elegance to sophisticated ensembles. The best part about bodysuits-no tucking required! Everything stays smooth and in place effortlessly.

Its time to toss those old items and give yourself the gift of lovely lingerie this Valentine’s Day.
