Let's Talk Unmentionables

I know that there has been talk around the fashion blogosphere in the past about what everyone wears when they get home from work, with discussion ranging from comfy pants to the same thing as at work to some sort of compromise. Personally, I do all of those things, but after Rand commented that he never got to see my in my nice clothes, I started making a concerted effort to look nicer in the evenings. And my weekend dresscode is all over the place too. I like to be comfortable, but too many days in a row of dressing like a slob start to make me feel like a slob. I have found that a pulled together causal outfit makes me feel good about myself, but still allows me to be comfortable. So I try to wear a scarf with my T-shirt, or put cute flats on instead of tennis shoes. And I don't know about you, but I actually feel more pulled together and presentable on the outside, if what I am wearing underneath my clothes is pretty and matching as well.

I started thinking about this the other day when Lane Bryant asked me to check out their new line of Valentines lingerie at Cacique. Of course I agreed to check out all the cute new things since I love thier stuff and I can really have a hard time finding things in my size that are pretty. Please, I haven't been able to wear anything from Victoria's Secret in years. And curvy girls like to have pretty underthings too! What I am working my way around to saying is that it's great to pull out some pretty lingerie for Valentines Day (and I certainly recommend checking out Caciques V-day options!) but I don't think that it should be reserved for just V-day or other special occassions. I think well-fitting, pretty undergarments are a great way to start your outfit every day. I think I stand taller, and feel better on the days that I do.

Anyway, I'm not going to show you any photos of my underthings, b/c this just isn't that kind of blog, but here are some great V-day and other-day unmentionables from Cacique.


And I want to hear what you think about this. Do you "dress" all the way from the first layer out? Or do you not worry about what is underneath?

Lane Bryant provided me with a $50 gift certificate to check out their Valentines items at Cacique. Honestly, I shop there all the time anyway, so this didn't influence me at all. I mean, I have a Lane Bryant store credit card, for Pete's sake! I love their stuff.
