I’m really not picky about workout wear. I don’t care what I look like, I even go in the morning, still rocking my bedhead. I don’t care if I run into my students there, either.
When I started going to professional conferences (and sharing hotel rooms with other grad students), I invested in a couple of nice, modest nightgowns. But at home, I rarely use them; my body heat kicks WAY UP as I fall asleep; I don’t need or want any extra insulation.
Bras, however, I care about.Once I was willing to shell out for Wacoal and Natori, my bras finally fit me properly. I shop Nordstrom’s half-yearly sales and try to make the most of the clearance racks, but when it comes down to it, I want a good fit, and I will invest. I agree, all of your clothes look better when your foundations are good. Foundations, shoes, and coats – these are the investment pieces for me.
