I love lingerie. I especially love expensive lingerie.
Thursday Thirteen #3
Here’s thirteen reasons why:
1. Secret. No one knows that you are wearing beautiful lacy panties except you. It’s like a special secret. I wear beautiful undies to the gym, to work, and just hanging out at home. And no one knows. Except, well you do… now.
2. Expert help. Expensive lingerie is only sold at boutique shops. My favorite place is SOL. It’s owned by a couple of wonderful, smart and sassy women. They are experts at bra fit. I know that sounds easy or stupid, but a great fitting comfortable bra is priceless.
3. You look great in a great fitting, fabulous bra.
4. Even a tomboy like me can be a little lacy. Expensive lace is beautiful and not itchy. I have these beautiful lace camisoles that I wear under shirts when we go dancing. If I get hot, I just take the shirt off showing a beautiful lace top. (Hey, some football quarterback tried to pick me up while I was wearing my black lace cami. I had no idea who he was until my husband fawned all over him. Go figure.)
that I wear under shirts when we go dancing. If I get hot, I just take the shirt off showing a beautiful lace top. (Hey, some football quarterback tried to pick me up while I was wearing my black lace cami. I had no idea who he was until my husband fawned all over him. Go figure.)
5. Pick me up when I’m down. When I feel beaten down by life, I come home and put on one of my short nightgowns. I feel so much better wearing something soft, silky and beautiful. One is made by Vera Wang. I can wander around the house in a Vera Wang. Now that’s cool.
6. Did I mention lace panties?
7. You get to wear brands called “Prima Donna”. Yes, I’m a Prima Donna Girl. They are so beautiful and comfortable. Can you blame me??
8. They last forever. Like anything, you have to take care of it but expensive lingerie lasts years, even if you wear it a lot. I’ve had some pieces for years. They are still beautiful, wonderful and I love them!
9. Cheap lingerie can be fun. Every girl needs something that can be tugged on, ripped off, stretched and manipulated. Keep some of that cheesy Victoria Secret stuff around for that. I have a Mirale account for play wear.
10. Can you say etched silk?
If you haven’t seen etched silk, you need to. The roses are etched into the silk giving it an almost see-through effect. This outfit says, “Merry Christmas” in such a nice way.
11. The look. Ah come on. You know what I’m talking about. That look when your honey watches you walk from the bathroom or when you pull off your top to change into work out clothes. You might get the same look in cheesy cheap lingerie, but nothing says, ‘come ‘n get me’ better than expensive lingerie.
12. Guys! Listen up! You can go shopping for her. Most lingerie boutiques set up accounts for their clients. You can go in, buy what you like in her size, and surprise. Sure, she knows you just bought yourself a present. But what the hell? It’s beautiful and she’ll smile.
13. It’s about being your best you. Maybe you have small breasts and wide hips. Maybe you have large pendulous breasts. Maybe you’re somewhere in between or had a mastectomy or just had a child or just had breast surgery. Why not look your very best?? You think those models and actresses have perfect bodies?? Think again! They wear expensive well fitting undergarments. You deserve one expensive, beautiful bra to wear in secret to that stupid meeting where your boss tells you how dumb you are. Smile. You have something beautiful against your skin.
AND we didn’t even get to stockings, thigh highs, fishnets….
Sigh.
I love lingerie.

This is what I need. I need some nice, new, sexy, sultry undergarments. My underwear sucks and I even ((gasp)) wear my nursing bra sometimes. That’s it. I’m going to the mall this weekend! Thank YOU!
Great list! I love lingerie as well… just makes you feel pretty and sometimes naughty all at the same time.
Happy TT
Oddly, I feel the same about goofy t-shirts. You should see the retro Green Eggs and Ham one I just picked up.
Secret Agent Mama – You go girl. Pick up a few pieces for me as well!
Jackie – Oh yes, naughty. (blushing) That’s also part of the fun!
Michael C – I guess the question is: do you feel that way when you SEE lingerie or are you relating to my collection of expensive lingerie and your collection of t-shirts??
Oh, lingerie is the best, and you’re right. No one has to know but you that you’re wearing lace under a sweatshirt and jeans, but when I do it, I’m that much happier.
Definitely referring to the collections. I feel a much different way when I see the lingerie
So fishnets next week??
Now this is a subject that hasn’t been covered before….and in such depth! Interesting! Happy TT!!
Great list! And a great reminder that we should always take time to treat ourselves well. Pampering rules!
Pretty underwear is a must! Be it lacy bits or buttersoft cotton, nothing beats the secret beneath the work clothes, because its a bit of beautiful you get to have with you all day.
Great list.

So…did you even consider modeling some of your favorites in a video post? Think, woman, think!
Wow. Wow. Wow. And that’s just for the pictures. I’ll come by and read the post later! I support the thinking female (refer to what Mr. Fabulous said). This squirrel is stunned like when I stare into car headlights. Believe me, this is a better stunned than when you directed me to the nekkid Beckham.
Sorry for misbehaving on your comments page. I is ashamed. But I blame the full moon. Yes ma’am, I is only dis a way when the moon is full and round. Now ‘scuse me while I looook fur my buddy Keifer.
I patronize 3wishes.com, it is my favorite sexy store. =o)
I need to get more, for sure!
Happy TT!
Michael C – Good to know. Good to know.
Miss Meliss – You’ll have to try the pretty nighty after the awful day. It really works!
Nicholas – Oooh that’s a great idea. I don’t know if I can come up with 13 things but…. where there’s a will….
BurmudaBluez – Ah shucks. You’re making me blush.
Kate Davies – Pampering? This is every day living, my dear.
Xakara – Yep, yep, yep. AND you get to see it, feel it all day – that’s the bonus!
Mr. Fab – 1) I don’t own a vid camera, 2) I hate having my picture made, adn 3) I’m kind of shy. (blushing) I’ll think about it though.
Squirrelly – I didn’t think you misbehaved. The pictures are amazing – I think. I’m glad, and I’m certain Ms. Squirrelly is as well, that your stunned isn’t the same as with Beckham.
Christy – You have the best suggestions…. I’m on my way there right now!
Mama Lee – You can never have too much!
Great list. I love lingerie too. Cannot do those thong thingies, but everything else awesome….
Have a great TT. Thanks for stopping by.
I for one want to go on record as a man that likes bras and panties. On women.
Vixen – You should try the hanky panky (that’s what’s pictured). They are super comfortable and lacy.
FuriousBall – No thongs? g-strings?
Ohhhhh….I feel the exact same way about lingerie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes! Yes! Yes!!!
Peace
Odat – If you are ever in Denver, we’ll shop.
OMG! Why didn’t you warn me you were going to write about lingerie? Now how am I supposed to meditate?!
BroLo – My inner capuchin warned me about this post, but you know I never listen to him. I would think the title might have given it away…. I didn’t know you meditated….
When I call hubby, he has it set to show a pic of my bum in red lace panties. I just pray no one else ever tries to answer.
Heather – That’s my kind of husband! YAY!!
uggh, if I get addicted again to lingerie, i’m going to put the blame on you!!!! I love lingerie!!!
Thanks for stopping by and for boosting me!!!! I’m blog rolling you!!!
Your husband is a lucky, lucky man.
No Nonsense – I’m taking that blame.
Bottle Blonde – I think so – but I do love the stuff. I wonder if it’s me that’s lucky that he puts up with me.
I love it too, and have never seen this passion expressed more beautifully.
The cheesy L’Oreal line, “I’m worth it” comes to mind here, along with a huge smile.
Sorry I am a little behind on my blog reading!
I just got to this today. I loved your TT! What a great idea! And you are a hot momma! Check you out! roooaaarr!
I wish a guy would buy me lingerie. How fun!
It is really sexy to know they picked something special out for you. Yum
Heart in SF – Yes, yes, “I’m worth it” absolutely! And, well, lingerie is absolutely worth the effort.
Kelly – You just had surgery – jeez! I think it’s kind of funny – because they buy it like it’s a present to YOU when truly it’s a present for them. It is nice though!
i really liked this TT. makes me want to go out and buy some.
Soleil – Go for it! You’ll feel so great knowing you have something pretty against your skin.
