Get Fitted!!

Side spillage, boob muffin top, sagging, underwire indents, red shoulders from straps - these are all problems that women have when they are wearing the incorrect bra size.

This past weekend my sister and I attended the "Nordstrom Fits America" event at the Nordstrom on Michigan Ave in Chicago. We were excited to go because we had an appointment to get fitted for our correct bra sizes. I've known for some time now that I have probably been wearing the wrong size. I have been trying to hold on to my college bra size, being in denial that I have grown in more ways than one. Well to my surprise, I have a much bigger bust than I thought (and you can forget it, I'm not sharing what my size is).

According to several studies, between 70 and 80 percent of women are totally clueless when it comes to their bra size. And get this...most women are BIGGER than they thought. According to an article in the New York Times, "Your Bra Size: The Truth May (Pleasantly) Surprise You" by Laura M. Holson, "These days, many women — to their shock or glee — are finding that DD is becoming the new C." Am I the only one that thinks this is crazy?? I mean talk about inflation! Well I guess we have to embrace our enhancements and look fabulous while doing so.

Ladies, please go and visit your favorite department store or good old Victoria's Secret and get fitted for your correct bra size. Stop walking around being uncomfortable. With the right bra size, not only will you feel better, you will look better also! Proper undergarments are very important to making that LBD or fitted blouse look amazing. Needless to say, the Nordstrom event was fun and definitely prompted me to go out and buy the right sized bra or two or three!

I decided to share some pics of my experience with you. Check them out!
