A Luxurious Love Affair with Lace
We have been bombarded by signs of the economic downturn, and many people have tightened their belts financially. That doesn’t change the fact that 98% of people wear underwear.
So how do you save money in this essential category?
I say spend smart and invest in pieces that means something, fit right, and are made of quality materials. Not many people completely purge their intimate drawer, it’s usually more of adding to the collection of pieces and leaving behind items that are worn, faded, or ill fitting. I suggest lace and embroidery. Since the Middle Ages handmade laces and embroideries signified having wealth to attain them, so today lace and embroidery still reads rich even if it is relatively affordable.
A piece with edge lace such as the Whimsy, Aruba Seamess Bra 16111 by Lunaire,
allover lace such as the No. 9 Scarlett All-Over Lace Bra 7139 by Le Mystere No. 9,
or embroidery like the Feather Embroidery Underwire Bra 85121 by Wacoal looks elegant,
refined like the Embrace Lace Push Up Bra 65891 by Wacoal,
and luxurious like the Lost in Lace Contour Bra 65369 by Wacoal.
From the first time I saw lace in my mother’s intimate drawer as a little girl I knew a love affair had begun.
Pictured above is the Chantilly Demi Bra 2805 by Chantelle
It was white, delicate, and so different from anything I had ever touched or seen before. I look back on that moment now with a little smile, and I am hoping if you haven’t had that moment yet you’ll take the leap and fall in love with lace. No matter what your personality or style there is a lace for you.
There is clean sophisticated like the Sensual Curves Push-Up Bra 458569 by DKNY,
free spirited and fun such as the Geo Floral Stretch Lace Bandeau F8970220 by Free People,
or classic like theDentelle Underwire Bra E75-261 by Elle Macpherson Intimates style
that will make you fall in love with lace and begin your own love story.
