The Girlfriend Diaries: The Best Strapless Bra EVER

Welcome to my first installment of  “The Girlfriend Diaries”! I find out about so many really outstanding fashion and beauty related products through my girlfriends (as I’m sure you do, too)! So I’ve decided to share the very best, tried and true items that I have found out about through my girlfriends! That’s what “The Girlfriend Diaries” is all about. And of course, I must give credit where credit is due! It’s my motto! I can’t help myself. I love my girlfriends too much! So, without further ado… Wacoal 'Red Carpet' Convertible Strapless BraLet’s talk about the BEST STRAPLESS BRA EVER! I found out about this amazing strapless bra through my friend, Sheaffer (Sheaffer Told Me To). As the story goes, we were hanging out in our hotel room during a recent trip, and I was complaining about my strapless bra.  It had started to slide down while I was wearing it and had become extremely uncomfortable. I then went on and on about how much I hate wearing strapless bras! Yes, I am a negative nelly when it comes to strapless bras -ha!  That’s when she went to get her’s for me to try on. I test drove it (ha!) and then immediately ordered it. As soon as it arrived, I put it on. You know how some of your friends say, “I love my strapless so much, I wear it everyday”, and you’re like, “WHAT?!?!”. Well, I actually had this thought (but then I came to my senses -ha!), so you know it’s good! It also comes in lots of different sizes. I also like that it has that sticky rubber stuff at the top of the cup to really ensure it won’t slip down. Now I will actually get to enjoy cute tops and dresses this summer! I won’t pass them by, because now I have a really fantastic strapless bra to wear. This may be my cutest summer yet! HAHAHA!

The Girlfriend Diaries: The Best Strapless Bra EVERI’m sure you already know Sheaffer. Her blog, Sheaffer Told Me To, is EXTREMELY popular! But if you don’t, you must check her out. She makes shopping fun and easy, and she is HILARIOUS! If only I could have a fourth of her wit. And can I just say, Sheaffer is the real deal. Sheaffer was my first blogging friend. She shared everything about blogging with me. She didn’t hold back information just for herself, because she truly wanted to help me. She is genuine, funny and happy! I am so thankful for her transparency and all the times she has helped! She’s the one I call when I need a little blogging pick me up. She is a life cheerleader!

    Is there another place that carries this bra in a B cup?

    Do you happen to know why it’s not sold in smaller sizes? I even checked the Wacoal website and the smallest cup size they have is B.
    Thanks!

    Can I ask what color strapless bra you purchased? The natural nude is only out of stock in my size (32G) darn it. Is the pecan a good nude shade? I pass on so many cute tops and dresses because they require a strapless bra. I really, really want this one to work.

      Mary, I ordered the “pecan”, and I ordered the “natural nude”. The pecan was too dark on me. If you tan easily and have an olive skin tone, I think the “pecan” color would work. Otherwise, I would wait to order the “natural nude.” I hope this helps.

    I bought this bra in your recommendation because I have the same problem with slippage! It came late last week, and it’s amazing! I didn’t realize until ordering that it’s actually a convertible, and I wore it with straps crossed yesterday with a linen tank that has a slight t-back, so regular bra straps would show. Perfect, stayed in place, and looked great. Thanks so much!

You see the brown spots on the hydrangeas in this You see the brown spots on the hydrangeas in this picture? It's kinda embarrassing to admit that they’re all I could see at first when I was cutting these hydrangeas from my yard- all the ugly brown, dry spots. As I brought them inside to throw away, I saw them all in my arms and thought, “Wait, these are really pretty all together. How could I just dismiss these so quickly?” Well, it's no surprise to me why I could dismiss them so quickly being the enneagram 1/perfectionist I am, but this was such a good reminder that if I choose to see beyond all the little imperfections in my life how much richer and more beautiful my life becomes! I hope someday I won't even notice those brown spots, but I also have grown to appreciate that God gave me an eye to try and make my world  and life a better place. I just gotta keep it in check and not dismiss the whole lot of hydrangeas for the little brown spots. This is a really beautiful, loving life if I'm looking for it.
I woke up to an email from @anthropologie announci I woke up to an email from @anthropologie announcing their tag sale that starts today (an extra 30% off sale items) and noticed that this jumpsuit I purchased and have not had the chance to post was part of the sale. When I don’t feel like putting together an outfit, I gravitate towards one piece outfits- like a jumpsuit/romper or a dress, which seems to happen more and more during this time at home. Putting together two pieces to make an outfit feels like so much work these days! Plus, I look fully dressed without much effort, and you know I like that. Anyway, there are so many cute one piece options on sale! Then, I noticed that so many items I found and loved during this same shopping trip are included in the sale! The good stuff goes fast, so head to my stories for links to what else I found!  #myanthropologie #sponsored http://liketk.it/2QXVm #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKstyletip
Any baseball moms out there? ⚾️ Although it’ Any baseball moms out there? ⚾️ Although it’s hot and downright uncomfortable to be outside on metal bleachers, I love it! Do y’all feel the same? And I have missed it! To see your son and his buddies make a really great play just gets my mom heart. I actually got goosebumps last weekend after a play. I know, I am a total dork. Now, I know from experience that if you’re not prepared for the games, you can get quite uncomfortable. As you all know, I am practical to a fault. So in preparation for my next few weeks and weekends that will be spent at the ball fields, I thought I’d share on the blog and on stories today what I think are the 7 necessities to enjoy yourself despite the conditions. I hope they can be of use to you during these toasty summer days outdoors! http://liketk.it/2QUiC

For the last couple of years, finding a versatile For the last couple of years, finding a versatile cover-up has felt practically impossible. Especially since ruffles, puff sleeves, and bows are where it's at with swimsuits right now. It felt like I was trying to buy a cover-up for every swimsuit (ummm, no), which forced me to put on my thinking cap. I finally found my perfect solution!!! SCARVES (aka sarong's)! I'm calling them scarves because I love the idea of using the scarves I already have in my closet as cover ups! Or wearing the sarong you have as a scarf! Not to mention, there are so many more darling scarves out there than there are sarongs and cover ups, and in my mind, they are just waiting to be used as coverups! Plus, typically scarves are less expensive! When I saw this darling rainbow scarf, I knew that I wanted to wear it immediately with this swimsuit top.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve linked a few scarves I'm loving that I think would be great as a cover-ups. I didn't have a chance to check the measurements on all these scarves, so make sure that they're big enough! http://liketk.it/2QzmV #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKswim #LTKstyletip #stylist #houstonstylist #styletip #swim #coverup #swimcoverup #summerstyle
I have a new trick! I don't know about you, but I' I have a new trick! I don't know about you, but I'm in love with a lot of these statement swimsuit tops that are out right now. But, I am not in love with the price tag! So, I've come up with a solution! I buy the statement top, and then I buy my swimsuit bottoms from Old Navy! Their swimsuit bottoms fit well, and it's fun to be able to mix and match! In this picture, I'm wearing a designer swimsuit top with my Old Navy bottoms. And since Old Navy has so many different cuts and styles of bottoms, you can find the right fit for you and mix and match the bottoms with your favorite tops! For instance, if you have a red swimsuit top, how cute would they be with blue and white polka dot bottoms for the 4th? Or you could pair your red top with the red and white stripe bottoms. I don't think it matters much if there is a little color variation. Once the swimsuit is wet the colors change, anyway! I'm so excited about this trick, I can hardly stand it! Can you tell?! If you utilize this trick, please tag me or send me a picture. It would make my day!!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For sizing reference, my personal favorite are Old Navy's bikini bottoms. I wear either a small or medium depending on how I feel that day. But like I said, they have all different cuts for bottoms, so you can find the one that's right for your body type. http://liketk.it/2Qzjx #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKstyletip #LTKswim #styletip #stylist #houstonstylist #summerfashion #fashiontips #stylehacks
You gotta love it when a plan works out! I bought You gotta love it when a plan works out! I bought this top after I posted about my favorite tops for summer on the blog. I know that off the rack clothing rarely fits perfectly. I usually end up returning online orders and go on the search for that perfect top, but unfortunately, that usually comes with a high designer price tag, not to mention hours of searching. Now in COVID times, returns are more difficult, and I don't have the liberty to just go in stores to search for that perfect top. It's definitely giving me a "make it work” attitude, which is really working out well for me! For instance, this top was shown on the model with an open back that tied with a bow and a bra looking front (swipe right). I used a tack stitch on the bottom of the bra part to provide more coverage and wrapped the bow to the front so my back is covered and my front has more coverage. I paired it with my sister's (@tellittoyourneighbor) and my new favorite high-waisted denim shorts. They're a great denim short option for all shapes, and if you want more length, you can keep them unrolled. And I love how my new favorite @espacio_popupshop MAC bracelets tie it all together! Now, let's talk about how I really want to get a hot glue gun out and make a dope mirror like this one! I don't have seashells. I wonder what else I could use? Hmmmm... http://liketk.it/2Qz5I #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKstyletip #stylist #houstonstylist #diy #diyfashion #freepeople #agolde @freepeople @agolde
I love the changes I see happening in our country, I love the changes I see happening in our country, and I don't want them to end. I don't ever want to go back to the way things were. All of this progress feels so right. I feel it so deeply in my soul. I'm all in on all of this kind of LOVE. I want to be a part of the change, and I plan to do so in my own little way, but I am taking a cue from @beabridgebuilder founder @latashamorrison and pressing the pause button. I will stand in a place of awareness and humility and learn. But one thing I've realized that I've done in the past that hasn't been helpful is staying quiet for fear that, out of my ignorance, my words would offend a Black friend and that I would be corrected. (In fact, I would always say "African American" for fear that "Black" was offensive. I learned that's not the case.) My silence didn't help anyone. So, I go forward knowing that out of my ignorance, I will make mistakes and will unintentionally offend, but I won't let my fear and self preservation get in the way of trying to help. If I make a mistake, I can learn and say I'm sorry. I'm a big girl now, and I want change. If the change leads to me being humbled, I'm ok with that. I won't stay silent anymore.
