Commando girl!

I'm having undies issues......
........and, I'm not afraid to admit it!

I am a girl who just loves her lingerie. So, even during my big girl days, I always had a very sweet collection of underwear. Every color, every style, every theme---you name it, I owned it. I couldn't pass up an underwear sale to save my life. I never had to worry about that age old mothers' advice--always wear nice underwear. Because, my dear blog friends--I always did. I'm not sure what deep seated issue I have that causes me to love pretty unmentionables. Perhaps I always liked the fact that underneath it all.....that's where the real Judi lived---separating me from the rest of the suburban working mom world. Under the black pants---leopard hi-cuts. Under the houndstooth--racey red silk. No white cotton for me. Not even a demure pink high-waisted Fruit of The Loom. No. No. No.

Loosing all this weight has done a number on my clothing budget. Oh, I'm not really complaining. Thankfully, the weight loss has happened at a slow enough pace that I haven't had to replenish everything at once. I've found that it's easier to find clothes in smaller sizes at places at T. J. Maxx, Marshall's and Burlington--at nice prices. And, of course--I lucked out with a few great sales plus extra cupons at Coldwater Creek and Chico's (my favs!). Plus, I've developed a healthy love of some very nice upscale consignment stores where I can find some great things. And, even better--I've been the recipient of some very fashionable, well-made pieces from friends and friends of friends. So, I'm doing okay when it comes to what I wear on a day-to-day basis. Thank God-- I have been able to maintain the style I have become accustomed to.....

Except when it comes to my underwear.....

I still haven't parted with the majority of my big girl undies. Hey...they are still pretty great undies...even if they are big! So, I haven't done much undie shopping these past 27 months. I've saved my dollars and cents for my regular wardrobe. I know....hard to believe--huh?

My undie avoidance finally caught up with me.....
And, it wasn't pretty......

As with most weeks of late--last week was a bit of a bear. So much so that one night, when I finally dragged myself into the house after a long and grueling day, I couldn't wait to take off my clothes, put on my big fluffy robe, light some candles, turn on some good music and hang out on the couch with the newspaper, a big stack of magazines and a cup of tea. So, after grabbing the paper and checking the mail--I went directly to my bedroom to start the transformation--from working girl to lady of leisure. If just for a few hours....
I was so anxious to get myself firmly planted on the couch that I whipped my clothes on the bed, grabbed my robe and headed down the steps in a flash. That's when it happened.....with nothing to hold my big girl underwear in place--they fell down to my ankles--sending me tumbling down 3 steps----right there in my empty nest. With no one to see me, no one to catch me and no one to see if I was okay....there I laid--with my pink robe askew, my underwear around my ankles and my body tangled.

That's when I knew--when your underwear start causing you to have accidents.....it's time to hit Victoria's Secret....



(sorry for the late post today.....I was having early morning problems getting this posted....)

Oh dear! I am so glad you didn't hurt yourself, but that was silly!

VS does a really good semi annual sale, especially online. Once you figure out your new size, ask the sales clerk when their sale will be!
