Building a Better Mousetrap

Stayed home today, which made my cold feel better!

Then I went up the street to Abigail's and spent waaaaay too much money on some lovely French lingerie.

Now I really feel better! (though I believe my checkbook is feeling a few pangs) Can I just say here how nice it was to find a pretty bra in my size? Usually once you get past a 36C the bras become these utilitarian things in beige with lots of wide elastic straps. I always think of English WWII matrons wearing them dutifully so the boys overseas can have silk for their parachutes.

When I run out of patriotic WWII imagery, I just feel as though the hideous elastic beige bras are some sort of punishment for being busty. But no more! Simone Perele has changed my life. But next time perhaps I'll buy online and save some dough...

I got this set...but in this color.

Va va voom! Nice lingerie. I think it is really best to spend $$ before doing one's taxes. And to go along with the WWII theme: you have bought your silks and then sent money to the war effort, so you're covered on all bases.

Yeah-you know, I had read somewhere that there is a little box you can check on your tax form & when you check it, your money doesn't go to the war. Sounded ridiculous (but would be cool), and sure enough, I examined my form w a magnifying glass & found no little anti war box to check.
