Success!
My new sports bra is the most expensive item in my wardrobe, but it is also very, very nice. It's this one, and I may have shed a tear when I found one in my size. It's both comfortable and locks everything down like Fort Knox.
Okay, I didn't cry, but I also didn't blink when I paid the price. Hooray for bra manufacturers who understand underwires are not optional for some of us, and also that there is not a global fabric shortage, we can stand to have a little more in front, thanks.
I had to go out to Nordstrom to get it, because that is literally the only store in my entire metro area of 1.7 million people that sells such things. (I tried the "Ta-Ta Tamer" at Lululemon, but in addition to having a painfully twee name, it was worthless; my regular bras have more scaffolding than that thing, and their idea of DDD is everyone else's idea of C at best.) I suppose it could be worse; we didn't even get a Nordstrom until three or four years ago, so I could've been stuck hoping for the best while ordering online.
Since I was out in Green Hills, where I never go, I took the opportunity to go to Trader Joe's, about which I have heard good things. They had the Pacific Rose apples I love and can rarely find here! And for a sane price! Plus other fun things like these delicious chocolate-drizzled lemon cookies, which I've had far too many of already today. I'd gotten the impression it sat somewhere between regular grocery stores and high-end stuff like Whole Foods, and was delighted to find it's more of a really spiffy Publix. If I'm ever out that way again, I shall return.
