She'll measure you and tell you what size you actually are and then she'll go out and find you a bunch of options to try on. BELIEVE me, if you get a proper bra, you won't have to deal with falling-down straps. You only will drop sixty bucks on a bra if you're large-busted and need extra support. <BR/><BR/>And the bra that I got <I>was</I> worth it. I can now wear button-up shirts without having to wear a vest or sweater on top.Cicadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14992280321382438701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937001.post-59483420866898243432007-05-02T23:16:00.000-06:002007-05-02T23:16:00.000-06:00That must be a DANG good bra if you're willing to ...That must be a DANG good bra if you're willing to drop 60 bones for it.<BR/><BR/>Is it a magic bra? What brand is this wonder bra? <BR/><BR/>I say that, seriously, because I'm very anti-bra and can't EVER find one that fits me correctly. Or that I like. Or that the straps don't fall off my shoulder ALL THE DAY LONG.N.F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15769369890212116831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937001.post-28705924292388101002007-05-02T15:22:00.000-06:002007-05-02T15:22:00.000-06:00I'll tell you a secret: Blogger has set a time out...I'll tell you a secret: <BR/>Blogger has set a time out on the comments page so that if you spend too long on the page you will need to refresh before commenting. That's why even if you enter the verification PERFECTLY you may have to enter it again after the page refreshes. This problem only emerged with the new Blogger.<BR/><BR/>So rest assured, it's not you, it's the time out.<BR/><BR/>Back to the topic at hand.<BR/>I like white pants.<BR/><BR/>I also think too much about what I should be wearing to certain events. Other Half helped me realize that most guys aren't paying that close attention to what we are wearing and what it says about the date. They think either a.) she looks good or b.) she doesn't look good.Carinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13859567470814286102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937001.post-463778435585110412007-05-02T09:11:00.000-06:002007-05-02T09:11:00.000-06:00Foxy, I wouldn't want to wear them as a mother... ...Foxy, I wouldn't want to wear them as a mother... you're probably making the right choice. <BR/><BR/>Bedelia, I also hate word verification and I'm really glad to hear that I'm not the only one who has to enter the word numerous times. Sometimes, I think, "Ooo! This is an easy font! I'll get it for sure!" and then I don't.<BR/><BR/>Fat-Bottomed Girl: I don't remember the pants. I just remember Viper going off all summer on how linen was wonderful, so I think that if you bought linen pants, it's probably because of his influence.<BR/><BR/>DG: If my date shows up in a dress, then at least he makes it really easy to determine that we don't click. And I'd have an easy out: "I'm sorry. I'm just not into men who dress like women. I'm kindof weird that way."<BR/><BR/>Nat: Currently I'm wearing navy pants and a white shirt with red shoes. It's fairly patriotic. If I leave straight from work, this is what I'll be wearing. If I go home first, I'll probably be wearing jeans, a cream-colored black polka dot tuxedo shirt, and red shoes. Now you're warned. Do what you think is wisest.Cicadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14992280321382438701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937001.post-35434863191819323582007-05-01T23:05:00.000-06:002007-05-01T23:05:00.000-06:00i am wearing the red shoes. is this ok??? we can m...i am wearing the red shoes. is this ok??? we can match. also i am toning down my usual style. i might try matching to the best of my ability so your date doesnt think you have weird friends. blue and red match right?natalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13592346192336399989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937001.post-52214859635495790162007-05-01T22:17:00.000-06:002007-05-01T22:17:00.000-06:00Bedelia & FoxyJ: I completely support you in your ...Bedelia & FoxyJ: I completely support you in your decision to stay away from white pants. Cicada's post inspired me to go try on the white linen pants that I bought at the end of last summer (Did I ever show them to you, Cicada?) and have never worn because I thought they made my butt look big. And guess what? They STILL make my butt look big. What the crap was I thinking when I bought them? They're WHITE PANTS. They're never going to conceal my curvy behind. Why didn't I return them when I had the chance? It's too bad we don't live in the same city, Cicada--I'd give them to you and I'm sure your bum would look cute and perky in them. And with the blue striped shirt and the red shoes, you'd be adorable. Not that you aren't already adorable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937001.post-88580689964346027442007-05-01T17:53:00.000-06:002007-05-01T17:53:00.000-06:00Unless your date is wearing an aquamarine dress an...Unless your date is wearing an aquamarine dress and you tried to match your tux with it using a cell phone picture. That might not work out as well as you'd hoped. <BR/><BR/>Also, I hope your date doesn't show up in a dress. That would be the most awkward of all.<BR/><BR/>bedelia: I'm SO with you! I usually have to try that word verification thing like three times, and by the time I finally get it right, I'm feeling like a total idiot, and that my comment wasn't even worth it.daltongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16307904950109679631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937001.post-3420188669992325782007-05-01T10:06:00.000-06:002007-05-01T10:06:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.TOWRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793365147574634180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937001.post-29856412456516121962007-05-01T09:15:00.000-06:002007-05-01T09:15:00.000-06:00I agree with foxyj, white pants terrify me.

You have the advantage of knowing your date, so I guess what you wear isn't as crucial. But yes, it's safe to assume that if you wear that, I won't be wearing anything similar. In fact, I think it's safe to assume that you can wear a lot of things that won't be similar to anything I'll be wearing. I like your style (minus the skulls and hearts and daggers) but you may or may not have noticed that clothes fit you differently than they fit me.

All other stuff isn't worth my time or money at Nordstrom.<BR/><BR/>And yes, please let me know about the shoes. I wouldn't want to wear anything that clashes.
