I hate shopping

So, I've always hated bra shopping. Being so large, finding a bra has always been a challenge. I've always gone to a store that is know for having all band and cup sizes. Usually, there is only one bra that fits in the entire store.

Today, I finally decides to buy my first bra since my reduction. I didn't know my exact size, so I figured I'd go back to this store. You get your own personal fitter who will bring you bra, after bra, after bra. I thought that since I've removed 8 pounds of breast tissue, finding a bra would be easier. BOY WAS I WRONG!!! My bra buying experience was traumatic. After an hour of trying on bra, I finally settled on one. ONLY - it's been discontinued by the manufacturer. Just my luck. I don't love this bra, but to know that I will not be able to get more - SUCKS! I bought the one they had in nude. I came home, and of course called my mom crying about my experience. I hunted the internet hoping to find a company that still had the bra in stock. No luck. I finally found a new one on ebay for half the cost. I bought it. It is weird to purchase a bra on ebay, but a girl's got to do what a girl's go to do. I still have to find a white on for the temple.

I HATE BRA SHOPPING, but I've attached a picture of my new bra below.

Oh I do know what you mean. I am happy the brand and style I like are not being discontinued. I would cry.

I hate it also. That's why I never have a bra that fits right. Not really... I'm also cheap which doesn't help.

Sorry for the trauma. I feel your pain. When I was shopping for a nursing bra after Jacob was born Motherhood informed me that they did not make bras big enough for me. (looking at me like I was Medusa with snakes for hair) I then tried Mimi Maternity and they had to special order it since they did not carry anything that large in the store. Nice!
