I <3 a good sports bra. comfy and keeps me covered when a toddler inevitably pulls the collar of my shirt down or unbuttons my shirt.



This sounds dirty.

I really want a fredericks.

Anybody got an enell sports bra? The microfiber ones from target aren't cutting it for me anymore.

8/22/2011 11:56:29 AM

haha I'm the total opposite - I ONLY wear sports bras. regular bras are sooooooo uncomfortable that in the past year I've worn one maybe 3 times. even when I need to go strapless, I'll wear a sports bra and tuck the straps in

my boobs aren't that big though, just average

8/22/2011 1:59:56 PM

i've got a few dresses with a tight enough bust i say to hell with it and go braless

8/22/2011 2:01:37 PM

i want to try the new Victory sports bra that came out. i'm a D cup but don't mind sports bras. i don't mind regular bras too.

8/22/2011 2:11:21 PM

the strapless bra i have is by Curvation...

I've had it a while and probably got it from TJ Maxx/Marshall's/Ross... apparently i bought it from walmart...i must have needed one in a pinch...

but I love it...

it's 38D (i have a very broad rib cage so my bras are 36/38) and has great support...it's full coverage...

also...it's not padded so it doesn't look like a shelf with my boobs just sitting in it...

i think it's like this only smaller and white...

that's another problem that i have with strapless bras! most of them are padded and my boobies look like a bag o meat just thrown on a slab in those suckers.

8/22/2011 7:30:33 PM

I hate sports bras

I just get that horrible uniboob and they rub together

wires and cups plz, kthx

my wireless bra separates enough to avoid this issue <3

yup not a fan of sport bras unless I am at the gym.

8/23/2011 6:35:24 PM

I like sports bras cause the flat uniboob makes me feel manly when I work out.

8/23/2011 9:48:45 PM

I have 2 enell sports bras. They are horribly unattractive, but they work amazingly well. I'm a DD, and have started running and there is no jiggle at all. I would definitely recommend them.

8/23/2011 10:15:38 PM

Wow ceebaline21! Welcome back to TWW!!

8/23/2011 10:18:00 PM

I only like sports bras when I'm working out or doing stuff around the house because when you smush big boobs together for an extended period of time you get boob sweat and just, ew.

8/23/2011 10:24:03 PM

as far as strapless goes, i have found the holy grail. they are not padded and it's a "tube top" style but just covers the boobs. there is a wire and a separation in the middle so you don't get uniboob

and the BEST part is that there is a strip of a sticky-ish silicone around the inside so it kind of sticks to your skin to stay up. it doesn't hurt and it actually keeps the strapless pretty snug so it's not sliding down your body the whole time

a normal bra is obviously more comfortable but when i have to wear a strapless, this is the least torturous of all the ones i have tried

8/24/2011 9:44:08 AM

the one i posted also has that silicone stuff on it...


i wish i had a black one like it but i'm pretty sure they have discontinued the style i bought

8/24/2011 9:51:29 AM

i buy mine at dillards

i will check the brand later

8/24/2011 10:05:49 AM

please do...i'm looking for more that are comparable...

8/24/2011 10:07:02 AM

Just splurged a little online today... Probably going to get in trouble when I get home... but I bought (sorry not letting me get the image):

Y'all reminded me I need to go buy another sports bra this weekend

8/24/2011 11:29:44 AM

Shifting gears...

Have any of you ever heard of having a freckle on your cervix?

8/24/2011 11:19:46 PM

A good sports bra recommendation is ALWAYS of interest to me.

8/24/2011 11:27:23 PM

cervix????? no. how would you enen know unless your gyn told you.

8/24/2011 11:29:49 PM

They did tell me

my pap came back abnormal but when they sent it for further testing they said everything looked fine... and she said it was like a "freckle" on my cervix

8/24/2011 11:31:43 PM

Just went on a spending spree. My old running shoes had holes in them.

Got a pair of new balances, a pair of brooks and a new run skirt.

Yay for new workout clothes! For some reason, they make the gym more motivating.

[Edited on August 26, 2011 at 2:35 PM. Reason : s]

8/26/2011 2:35:06 PM

your cervix changes a lot over the course of time. i had an abnormal pap once years ago and the doctor said that at some point in every woman's life, their pap would come back "abnormal" but most of the time it's just because of the cells changing or some mess. anyways - every year since then it's been normal and i haven't had any problems.

i wouldn't fret too much about it

8/26/2011 2:39:56 PM

ohhh i get it now

8/26/2011 2:40:23 PM

Got over 300 dollars worth of dresses for less than 100 bucks tonight.


feels good

8/27/2011 10:08:43 PM

Nice score.

Hey guys - Just a reminder, I will be having the swap party this Weds at my house. If you would like to come, just send me a PM and I will add you to the evite.

Looking forward to seeing begonias and meeting smcain

8/29/2011 11:54:12 AM

so i went to put on a pair of black trousers i bought last year (and had taken in in March because they were getting too big) and they're super too big now. like way too baggy in the butt/legs and around the waist. so then i went to put on a skirt and it fell off me it's all my nice Banana Republic stuff too so now i am going to have to go out and shop for some new stuff this week. not a bad thing but totally unexpected this week.

ps - depending on what i end up purchasing, i would probably be looking to give away the clothes that are too big.

[Edited on August 29, 2011 at 12:04 PM. Reason : edit if you know someone....]

8/29/2011 12:04:07 PM

I think we should have a variety of clothes at the party... (size-wise). Feel free to come over and try to find some smaller bottoms.

8/29/2011 12:16:55 PM

I went to a swap party one time... it was a few years ago. Though, looking forward to meeting people again (seeing as... I can't really remember anyone from the last one - maybe when I see your faces..haha).

All of my stuff is in the S-M range, 6-8 longs. Size 8-10 (varies) shoes.

Oh, question. Are you gonna gather up all the non-swapped stuff and donate or are we gonna have to take it back?

[Edited on August 29, 2011 at 4:08 PM. Reason : .]

8/29/2011 4:06:22 PM

Howdy -

In the past, people took their stuff with them. But I have no problem donating excess for everyone. I'll be taking a trip myself anyway.

8/29/2011 4:54:29 PM

I made out like a bandit at Anne Taylor Loft tonight! 3 pairs of dress pants, 2 cardigans, and 1 top for $118.00 (this was after I used a $100 gift card) but before all the discounts the total would have been $350.00.

I also got some super cute mini wedge shoes from Belk (they're Nine West) in a camel leather color for $80.

Overall great shopping trip.

8/29/2011 9:39:33 PM

looking for a pair of Jessica Simpson boots. the shit one would wear with jeggings. i dont know where to start so please point me in the right direction

8/30/2011 9:17:13 AM

all major department stores carry Jessica Simpson - Belk, Macys, Nordstrom.

you might want to start by looking online at their websites and then you can either order online or go to the store and pick up the pair. at least if you start online you can filter for size, color, style, etc.

8/30/2011 12:05:39 PM

awesome thanks.

8/30/2011 12:24:10 PM

Good job on the shopping trip. I actually went to Steinmart on Saturday when they were having their 50% off all clearance sale.

I got four pairs of earrings for $2.50-$3.00 each. A super cute pink short-sleeve sweater for $7.50 and another work shirt for $10... and the best part... a pair of Seven jeans for $11.00.

They look kind of like this:



My husband also got four pairs of Chaps plaid shorts for $11.50 each.

i am horrible with accessories. plus i can't wear anything but platinum or surgical steel in my ears so it basically nixes me wearing any sort of fun earrings without them turning bright red and getting infected within an hour.

i wear the same diamond necklace and david yurman bracelet my boyfriend gave me. the next piece of jewelry will be my engagement ring...when that happens.

8/31/2011 7:44:50 AM

Haha the most important part of my outfit is usually the accessories.

I am so excited about that jewelry store opening!!

are you talking about your sleep problems??

8/31/2011 5:19:43 PM

Nah, I was diagnosed with hypersomnia, possible narcolepsy a while ago

This is for the bloating, stomach problems, hair loss, other signs of a vitamin deficiency.. And I wonder if it's making the hypersomnia even worse than what it would be without whatever is going on factored in

8/31/2011 5:23:53 PM

^ oh shit. man im out of the loop. i remember reading some of that


i hope you find out its something simple...like b12 or something

8/31/2011 5:25:42 PM

It seems to be something more... I have a vitamin deficiency because things aren't being processed the right way, I think :/ whether that's an immune response or allergic reaction, who knows... I'm banking on some autoimmune disorder seeing as I already have one
