Over the past eighteen years, I have seen so many women who have not only survived breast cancer, but thrived!  I love the term, thrive and it goes back to one of my friends and clients who lived in Santa Barbara who had a birthday celebration and gave each one of us a card with the endearing term written by the mighty poet Maya Angelou, “Surviving is important, but thriving is Elegant”.  Celebrate someone in your life whom has been touched by breast cancer.  You can also support the cause by clicking the bra above.  Bare Necessities is giving 25 cents for every bra sold up to $10,000. to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  Help a diva out today.  Look good, feel beautiful for you, and support a great cause.

Are you scared to wear asymmetrical fashions?  An astounding 5 out of 10 women would probably raise their hands.  It’s not easy plus add in all the body image issues that come up for us.  OMG my big arms, what about the bra strap issue?  Ironically, one shoulder fashions actually help to make you look sleek.  The focus on the one shoulder creates a shapely illusion.  By having the neck line cut in half, you tend to create a natural curve line on the frame (enhances what you have).

As the temperatures begin to climb, we all need to review what’s in our closet for summer. When going to work this is extremely important. A woman needs a key item that she can pull out of the closet, add a belt or scarf and hit the door for work. A sheath dress in white would be top on the list.

A key to wearing bright white is use nude or naturals underneath. If you wear a white bra and underwear, you risk showing it all. A contour bra is a must have for knits and cotton. Fit Tip: Summer is a great time to get your lingerie wardrobe in order. You should own at least six great fitting bras.

The key to wearing any trend is having the right undergarments that lift, shape and support you behind the scenes. If you’re wearing a halter dress, you must be flawless! The style tends to show all the details including the lift. This is when a strapless bra is major to looking your best.

If the dress is a low back, try wearing a backless strapless with adhesive cups. Now there are styles that can be worn up to 50 times! In addition, if you need straps, they come with clear ones so you don’t have to tuck and hide your white bra. Yes, I saw you. Remember, the more solutions in your underwear drawer, the more options in the department store.

The beat goes on with retro inspired clothing this season.  One of my favorites is the retro inspired tops from the 70’s that gave women a glamorous look without much effort.  The elongated bell sleeve and plunge neckline is super easy and comfortable for summer dressing solutions.  A nude bra would be a no brainer under a white top.  Try something new divas.

This year bras are meant to be seen (within reason of course).  I would compliment the top with a lace bra that looks like a camisole even though it’s not.  That is the point of a beautiful bra, they are made to be seen with the “right” outfit.  Glamour has no limits this summer.  Go retro!

Jane Russell, Hollywood Icon and former Playtex Spokes Model recently died on February 28^th.   Jane would ironically visit the lingerie department I worked for in Santa Barbara, California as I was building my expertise and passion for lingerie.  She was always gracious and a lovely woman.  Jane was the original “Bra Fit Expert” to so many women around the world before it became main stream to discuss our underwear solutions.  My mom is still wearing the brand and refuses to change.  She embraced Jane’s philosophy, “you must always have lift and separation”.   Little did I know that when I saw those commercials in the 70’s, I would embark upon a 19 plus year career in the industry.  To Jane I say a tremendous thank you for helping women to feel confident and beautiful on the inside.  It will continue to inspire me in my journey of reaching and teaching women on the importance of lingerie fit.  Blessings Jane!
