Your Bra Wardrobe

We frequently get questions along the lines of "how many bras do I need?" And we've seen several of our clients struggle with finding the right balance of bra styles for their wardrobe.

One must compartmentalize one's wardrobe to find the perfect number of bras. For example, a woman who works long hours in a corporate environ will have different bra needs than a woman who is a nurse by trade and spends most of her free time training for triathalons. We don't assign certain numbers and styles because its completely dependent on one's lifestyle.


The example above needs four kinds of bras: lounge/leisure, exercise, softcup for work @ home, and underwire to put her best profile forward out of the house. Similar to different wardrobes for different lifestyles, we need different bras for different lifestyles. In general, for everyday use, good fitting seamed cup bras with a couple of seamless styles added in is the best mix. The example below only needs two kinds of bras: lounge/leisure (this includes sleep) and underwire to put her best profile forward while working.


A) evaluate how you spend your time,

B) have more than enough bras to be well prepared & excited to put on your empowering 'under armor' for each of your life's activities,

C) compartmentalize - decide when you do X activity (work, stay at home, exercise), you will wear either A, B or C bras. Very similar to stylists who take an inventory of your closet and then snap photos of the outfits - each shirt in your closet will ideally be compatible with 2-3 bras in your lingerie drawer. We suggest re-evaluating your bra arsenal once a quarter, especially as bodies and activities change.

What about you? Where are the holes in your bra wardrobe currently? I'll go first: I want a nude leBreeza sports bra. I need a nude plunge balcony bra - my everyday choice. I saw a great Fantasie sample at a retailer's event recently, but a sample is a 34D so of course I didn't even try it!!

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY OLGA!!!

As Olga's blog-mistress, I humbly apologize for neglecting my blogging duties lately and for failing to remember that TODAY marked Olga's 3rd year as a Traveling Bra! Just like Olga's adventures, my lifes journey has been taking some unexpected/interesting twists and turns lately, leaving me feeling stretched pretty thin...and all's I can say 'bout that is I'm sorry and thank goodness for Olga...who continues to lend me her support as only Olga, the Traveling Bra can do!
As for Olga's birthday?...well, recently Olga and I were thrilled to hook up and celeBRAte with some of The Girls from The Reunion...that fateful event where it all started 3 years ago...when what appeared to be The End, was really only The Beginning...for Olga, and me! (and, ummm, a few others too!)
I PROMISE to be posting much more about this soon, so please stay tuned...
and believe me when I say, truly - our cups runneth'd over!
Ta-Ta! (for now...)
