My Latest Obsession

I've been doing my best to limit my spending this summer, so I've been avoiding my favorite stores with the hopes of being a good girl.  However the other day, I received an email from American Eagle declaring that they were having a huge sale. I believe it was an extra 40% off sale prices... So I did some browsing, with little expectation of making a purchase.  I haven't been super impressed with AE's offerings throughout the past few years, however there are always a few diamonds in the rough!
Anyways, I made my way over to Aerie, and realized I knew what I was going to buy.
Lace bralettes have become a rising trend the past few seasons (they followed closely on the heels of bandeaus!).  Being smaller, I saw the bralettes as lacy, expensive sports bras, so I wasn't compelled to purchase a pair.  Yet the price at Aerie was just right.  I figured, "why not, they are cheap enough; I should just try them out".

Let me tell you, I am pleasantly surprised! I ordered two, each was under $20, and they for shipped free (which if any of you know me, you know that I LOVE LOVE LOVE when shipping is free!).
One style is racerback without any padding, while the other is padded with adjustable straps.

I purchased mine in teal!


As opposed to a sports bra, you don't feel squished or compressed! Instead, I feel as though I can breathe!  Not to mention the soft lace feels more feminine than the sweat absorbing material of sports bras.  Like most bras, these come in a variety of styles and colors allowing you to feel comfortable in your own skin.  They are typically worn under lose fitting tee's and tanks!  If you are interested in purchasing one of these lacy gems, be sure to look at the company's sizing chart to give you the best fit possible. I recommend checking these out if looking to give yourself a little treat!
