For the girls: bra talk

It's way nicer...they did a great job remodeling it. They've added a lot of stores and restaurants. It has a really open feeling and a lot of the stores are outside, so it's especially nice in the summer. You should definitely go there!

I am here to complain about the Victoria's Secret Semi-Annual sale.

It's just too much of a hassle.

First of all, today was the first day I had time to actually go out to the store. I wake up early get to the store around 11pm... its a zoo! Lots of people in there. Crowded, etc., hard to move around.

Second... I hate how they organize the bras. Its stupid. Sorting by size of course makes sense, but can't they take it one step further and sort by styles and/or colors? I don't want to have to dig in the bra bins just to find something I want. Sure, it might cost less for payroll purposes, and it also may help distract buyers from the fact that what they find might not have matching sets... but go a step further? Besides, its like all the good stuff has already been bought and what was leftover was just the rejects/unwanted/returned stuff.

I walked out of the store empty handed. I could have tried harder to look, but its too much of a hassle. Too crowded, bad organization. I'll just wait until the end of the sale when the store is back to normal, not as crowded, and more organized. I know I could still go into the store and buy the non-sale stock that is organized and such, but I'll wait for the sale to end and for the Fall line to come in. I make enough money to where the sale prices aren't a big deal to me.

End rant

Gap Body is a good place to go! They just take a tape measure and measure over your clothes (if you're in a lot of layers they may ask you to take off your jacket, etc.). I'd wear a non-padded bra if you're going to have it done, just in case. You don't want to add too much oomph.

Ok so VS' has the worse fitting the world!!! I am a very ample C and can sometimes fit into a D depending on the bra. They told me on one occasion that I was a B cup on another time I was a DD apartley, now I know that boobs can change, but that is just plain crazy!!!

That's why I only shop the sale online. It's nice and organized, and if you get enough stuff, the shipping is free.
