Yesterday I did a good look in the mirror remember my term in past when I visit Victoria Secret few years ago. Do you all ever do those? You know where you notice things that could use a little attention? Nothing to make you sad, quite the opposite! Things that you can easily control and make better.
The first thing I noticed was that a couple {2 things to be exact} were not quite as high as they should be. This is a family friendly blog and I’m kind of shy about this stuff so I’m using code words. I *think* you all know what I’m talking about (giggling)!
So few years ago I went to Victoria Secret in past. It was an emergency.
When I enter and the lady works there were immediately greeted and I warned her that I am Deaf then same time I noticed she has like 5 eager boob measure-ers. It was exciting {not}. But I was on a mission and knew what needed to get done.
Then I let her measure me. Let me stop here for a second.
I WAS MEASURED! I survived being measured.
I casually told the lady I was a 34B and have been for years {except when pregnant and it’s different}.
She nodded and gave me a slight smile.
Then she handed me a little card that said 32DD or 34D.
WHAT????
I mentioned that I was there because things were not high enough… a bigger cup size would make this worse! She smiled again and said, “just try these sizes and we can always adjust”.
So off I went. I like to follow directions. I’m a people pleaser after all.
Into the dressing rooms, we went. I was met by another very nice lady who gave me lots of bras to try on and helped me narrow down the perfect size {34C}. Then it was time to pick the style.
She asked what my ideal bra would be like. I said something like “I don’t want to lean over when helping in my daughter’ and pick her then flash all front of people”. “Oh, full coverage,” she said.
Then I got the bright idea to show her my current bra. The one I wore into the store.
I leaned over and said that this was the last bra I bought, and I loved it. Could I just get another one of these?
She reached out and looked at the label.
“Well,” she says… “hmmm…. gosh, we haven’t sold these in over {starts counting in her head} 5 YEARS!”
I about died right then and there.
I muttered something about how I don’t fix what isn’t broken and maybe there was a mistake in dates or that maybe I forgot, and this was one of my old ones…
Then I just said OKAY, what do you have that is similar?
And then I hung my head low and I left and nope I didn’t buy anything from there.
The sweet lady recommended that a fitting be done every 6 months. I think that’s a little excessive, but then again, I haven’t been fitted in 5 years so maybe you should listen to the pros on this one.
If I look back on the past 5 years, I missed a bunch of times I should have been fitted. I was pregnant. I don’t know about you, but one of the first signs for me is changes in chest size. I also gained some weight and lost some weight. I’m also older than I was 5 years ago and that changes things. Trust me… it really changes things!
At Victoria’s Secret fittings are FREE! What I did was buy a bra in the size and style that I liked and now I am no longer using Victoria Secret anymore especially just a measure whenever I wants and I love Amazon Bras online and they are very affordable.
Don’t be scared. Go get yourself fitted for a new bra!
Question: Honestly, when was the last time you were fitted or bought a new bra?
