Gentlemen Readers…you may want to skip this one. 😉
So, I went shopping with the kids today to do the obligatory back to school underwear/cami/bra shopping so that my darlings are well-outfitted under as well as over. And I’m home and taking labels off and thinking, “When is the last time I got new underwear?” I couldn’t remember. I remember throwing away a pair of holey undies last week because “God Forbid” I had to go to the hospital unexpectedly, I wouldn’t want to be embarrassed. I remember snipping a chunk of mangled, knotted up elastic that was hanging down and tickling my leg and making me think I had a spider crawling in my pants. I remember that some of my undies used to be pretty with lovely little prints on them before the color was Cloroxed out of them. But I don’t remember the last time I actually took the time to buy myself a new supply of underwear. Wait…wait…..yes I do. I bought those big ol’ ugly cotton preggo underwear back when I was pregnant for Little Girl. Does that count? Maybe I’m alone in this…unusual in the world of women, but somehow I doubt it.
So, when did I stop caring? I deserve new underwear too, don’t I? It’s not like I can’t afford them….I guess I just haven’t made it a priority in a very, very long time.
So, here’s a new challenge Ladies….and this one has nothing to do with photos. (In fact, please do NOT send us photos of your purchases! lol) Go out this weekend and splurge on some new undergarments for yourselves. Buy pretty ones, silky ones, sexy ones. I’m going to…I bet it will make us feel good all under. Might even do our souls a little bit of good. A little bit of new and pretty that we need not share with anyone (*ahem* unless you want to of course.) Consider it a symbolic gesture—a reminder to care for yourselves as much as you care for others. So enjoy your little personal excursion, and may the lace be with you.
A Half Hour a Day 
What a great idea! 🙂
OH no conflict…I love to shop but have resolved not to buy undies at this size
Oooooooh, no!! You are NOT getting out of this!!! That is EXACTLY the reason why you MUST go out and buy yourself some!!! You deserve pretty undies no matter WHAT size you buy them in!!!! You are a strong, independent, beautiful woman and I say YOU of all people NEED to treat yourself to new pretty underwear DAMMIT!!! 😉
Now go buy something pretty…….. XO
Are comfy ones allowed? We don’t need no stinkin’ wedgies! 😉
Of course! I refuse to wear uncomfortable wedgie makers too….as long as they are new and make you feel lovely….anything goes! 🙂
Okay, I just have to wonder…why in the world is “Why Congress Was Reading Obama’s Speech” in possibly related posts? LOL
Marvelous idea, except that I just bought a package of three plain Jane cotton undies. How can I justify more underwear in my drawer? How about a nightie?
LOL Morningjoy…do those three plain Jane cotton undies make you feel lovely and spoiled? Somehow I doubt it….comfy, yes, but lovely? Probably not. How about one more piece…and make this purchase a spoiling moment. And why not pick out a nightie too?!!! 🙂
Of course, all challenges are optional, not obligatory (except for Shrew.) ;-P
Great idea! And I would add: do this for yourself, and yourself only!! You deserve it 🙂
