Who pays $80 for a bra? Yes, that would be me. Normally I wouldn't post about underwear, but really, an $80 bra is noteworthy. It was time to upgrade, so off to Nordstrom I went. I wasn't planning on walking out with such an expensive "investment". I wish I were an a-cup and a cute, little Target bra would do the job, but 'tis not my lot in life. It is an awfully nice bra, but $80? I'm still having a bit of sticker shock.

This is me modeling my new bra! ;)

funny- that is on my list of things to do this week. I have been having a bit of trouble finding ANY bra that fits me lately. I will let you know how much mine costs. Maybe it'll make you feel better. Hopefully not (for my sake!), but probably... It's really pretty!!

I'd willingly pay $80 if I looked like that modelling a bra!

Come to that - I'd probably willingly pay $800 :)

Wow - that is an investment!!! I hope it's comfortable.
I have to say I buy my Maidenform or Calvin Klein bras at Costco or Mervyns.

But hey you have great hair that doesn't require blow drying/styling! I fight mine everyday - even when don't want to. Guess we all have our crosses to bare:)

Whatever it takes to keep "the girls" high and perky!

LOL! I can honestly say, as a seamstress, that I know why good bras are so expensive! Fitting 3-D curves is such a skill in the sewing world. I say, go buy two more immediately so you have one to wear, one in the hamper and one coming out of the laundry.

Yep, I can relate...boobage is quite costly.

Yeah ... I splurged on my girls this summer too ... $130 bra and that was the CHEAP one. Turns out ... it sucks! The straps keep falling to my elbows ... the exact problem I was trying to escape. Can't even wear it ... hope you have better luck with your investment!!!!

Does your "cup" runnth over? ;) I hope not in the new bra! I've been considering wacoal

What...that's not you . That is me. Oh yeah, we are twins. Nice looking bra.

Jen said...

I can so relate! I have also wished to buy a cute little a-cup. I, too, buy my bras at Nordstrom at that same price. Kills me everytime. I buy in May and October when they have deals on Wacoal and a few others for fit for a cure.

Does Utah not have a "Nordstrom Rack"? I have had the most difficult time finding a bra that fits, (especially since being pregnant- it seems like I have to buy one every few weeks- Is my child growing in my boobs instead of my tummy or what?!) Anyways- try to find out if there is a Nordstrom Rack anywhere in the state of Utah... they have the same expensive brands for Ross prices... good luck!
