It’s a new year. So why are we holding on to lingerie and all it encompasses from decades back. Its time to get it together and rid yourselves of ill fitting, faded, falling apart undergarments.  Keep in mind the same is true for your nighties, baby dolls, chemises, teddies and negligees. If the lingerie is ill fitting then it defeats the purpose. For some odd reason we will buy a different size in cloths as our bodies change in one direction or the other. But have a difficult time doing the same for the under garments. Throw away any girdle, bras, pajamas, panties, lingerie that is tattered, stained, stretched out, etc. Those need to remain in the land of dead. I am an avid believer that, the sacred drawer should be purged twice a year. Some may feel once a year is plenty. Start by going to the lingerie dept or specialty  bras store and get fitted for the proper size bra. Measure your waist and hips, to determine your underwear size. Many of us want to pretend the number is irrelevant..  When in actuality that notion is far from the truth. Based on that lovely info, time to gage what sizes we really need to wear for proper fit. Understanding that without a neat undergarment canvas, what ever is painted on top will not work to its potential. Once you know your size, time to get rid of those that are in your drawer that are not the proper size.  A neat trick I picked up along the way for women: take out those bras and matching undies that are still in great shape but don’t fit, place them in a vacuum sealed bag. For some as we revisit the process and revamp that drawer, down the line our sizes may change.  In those cases some of the items in the vacuum bag can get reintroduced into the drawer.

I am an advocate of feeling feminine and sexy under your cloths. Try it, goes a long way. We can have a bad hair day, have on lounge cloths or the dreaded fat pants. But with that sexy properly fitting set under our cloths we feel a whole lot better.  Now that you know your correct sizes you can pick up great deals when you see them through out the year. A well-stocked lingerie drawer with good fitting options is the perfect beginning to any fabulous day or night for that matter!
