It occurred to me after watching week after week of Stylista I am indefinitely annoyed by Megan. This rant, however, it is not because of her bitchiness, it is for her lack of unmentionables. Namely, a bra. The girl is fashionable, she has style, and she knows how to buy good clothes, but she is sorely lacking a certain something that'll make her girls stand taller and prouder.
After last week's episode with her the white tank it was all too obvious that she wasn't wearing anything to keep her from telling the world she's cold. She needs to meet Victoria. And probably Sarah Blakely, too. Before a girl can be figure flattering on the outside, she needs to have the right gear underneath. Megan might know the fashion industry, but she could use to take some notes here (especially if she is to style celebrities that don't have a model's figure).
My Best Friend is the Body by Victoria Full Coverage Uplift Bra. Certainly not new to VS, this old faithful is actually a recent addition to my bra drawer and quickly becoming a favorite. It fits comfortably, hugs you just right, is perfect under t-shirts, blouses and even dresses. The straps are thick and supportive, but not too. The bra, as the name denotes, adds a little oomph, but definitely not too much. In fact, wearing a push-up or padded bra on a daily or almost-daily basis will help decrease the effects of gravity on the chest, which is a nice bonus. Maybe not the sexiest of bras, but definitely utilitarian and comfy to boot. A good choice for anyone, any size.
Everyone's Best Friend is Sarah Blakely and her Spanx. Story has it she offered Saks the idea for her product, which would have given Saks licensing and copywright and all that jazz, they said no, she looked elsewhere and came out on top. The story's ending is good because women can buy her product anywhere, plus the WWW. Her body-shapers can come pretty much anyway you want them. My personal opinion is that all women should own at least two pairs (one in their skin tone and one in black). I actually break my own rule by owning two nude pairs in different cuts, but at least I have them. Want your cottage cheese cellulite days behind you? You don't even need a genie to grant that wish. The ones that are high-waisted, to your bra, and extend down your thigh are the best in my book.
The Bridesmaid. If Spanx aren't your style, then this paper thin, no-line showing thong is the next best thing. The Victoria's Secret Low-Rise thong is a nylon-spandex blend that is like another layer of skin that covers only what needs to be covered. It comes in a bunch of colors so you can match every type of pant/skirt/dress you own. Thongs are pretty self-explanatory so there's not much else to say about this one except to make sure you pick the right size; pick the wrong size and the no-show thong turns into the love-handle highlighter.
