if you're anything like me and don't enjoy shopping that much, you probably buy things when you need them and not when you see something cute in the window. well, i also tend to buy things in bulk to avoid returning to the dreaded stores more often than is absolutely needed. while this is a great strategy, or so i thought, it has inherent pitfalls. a couple years ago, i bought four cute little victoria's secret bras and while i didn't expect them to last forever, i guess i never anticipated this would happen.

in the last week, the remaining three bras broke (the underwire stabbing me after needling its way through the fabric). my girlfriend swears i'm growing, but i just don't see it.

my suggestion: spread out bra purchases to several times a year, lest becoming braless. luckily, i had gift certificates from christmas, so i was able to replenish the stock and have all new toys.

that's funny. well, getting poked by underwire is not so funny, but i think the rest of it's funny. could be my flu fuzziness though. i only buy bras when they're on sale, which means i buy them about every 6-8 months. i have two that i wear when i need to appear to have breasts bigger than my thumb, otherwise it's the uniboob and my sportsbra, baby!

and yes, your boobage is growing. your girlfriend's right.

I had a bra give out on me once on a date! Long time ago...

Also, Victoria's Secret sells some crap, all right!

Wacoal & DKNY are the way to go... more expensive, but those babies will last forever and never let your girls down!

I hate it when my underwires poke me, too!

I bought a new bra this summer and it started poking me the second time I wore it.

Lame.
