Okay, this is my first Fashion Friday blog. But, I think it would be nice to talk not so much about fashion but about something every woman will probably struggle with at some point in her life. Namely, buying lingerie for someone who is not yourself. This dilemma usually presents itself in the form of shopping for a wedding shower gift.
I'm currently in the midst of the pre-wedding season, and I know I will face lingerie shopping pretty soon. I'm guessing I'm not the only one. You find yourself at the VS or in the lingerie section of some store, and then you wonder, "What on earth am I doing here?" It's not like shopping for yourself where there's the possibility of trying the stuff on. I mean, trying on the little lace something-or-other your friend will wear on her honeymoon? That's a little weird. Actually, it's a lot weird! So, you do the trick we all do, holding it up to yourself to see if it sort of looks like the right size...never works, does it? And how do you figure out sizes? Heaven knows you don't want to go too small. If you do that, your friend will just put it on and feel gross, but if you go too big your friend will wonder what kind of a cow you think she is. I assume this, because those are exactly the reactions I would have.
The thing is, I actually find the shopping kind of fun, but it does leave me perplexed. I suppose I will have to brave the lingerie section sooner or later, as we all must! I wish you all luck!
