Thou Shall Work With My Lingerie Obsession

I swear every time I know that I'm going to work at PINK I tell myself that I shouldn't buy anything. But there's always that curiosity, did we get anything new in since I was gone. And the answer is always a big fat YES. Yes we did and we got cool ass stuff in.

I started my day at work in the storage room by letting out a scream of excitement when I saw our new canvas beach bags! Love them! But I successfully convinced myself that my J. Crew canvas bag will have to do and there's no reason why I should need a large canvas beach bag when I never ever go to the beach.

Although I was able to stop myself from buying the bag, I couldn't help myself from buying more underwear. If we had old styles then I would've been able to stand a chance...but since we got new styles in that matched the two new bras I just bought last week there was no way in hell I was going to walk out of that store without buying MATCHING PANTIES!

So I did it. I bought 5 for $25. But it doesn't stop there...I spied new swimwear! I saw this neon lime bikini and thought to myself that I needed to try it on...even though in the past PINK bikini tops didn't fit me. I tried it on and it was the most amazing sight...me in a neon bikini. It's really nice that I'm on this diet too...you can see my abs! Just two more weeks!

After deciding that I needed the neon bikini, I asked my co-workers if we had it in any other colors...like white. No white. But black! I tried on the black...I think I loved it just as much. At first I thought I didn't need it because I bought a way more expensive black and gold bikini from Malibu Strings...but I couldn't stop myself. It was basic and would last me forever.

So I left with 2 bikinis and 5 panties. And I have no buyer's remorse because when I went home I tried them on again and I still love them! I can't wait to wear them!

I would've taken pictures of me in the bikinis, but my room is an absolute mess. I'm trying to sort all my picture frames out so that I can put them on my walls right now...total mess. But here's a so-so picture of the panties I got!

My Bra Collection

As of today, I own 24 bras and more than half of them are Victoria's Secret brand. I used to buy bras for special occasions, but now if I find one that fits me perfectly and is in a color I don't have yet I inevitably get it. I just added 3 new ones to my collection this weekend.


I finally bought Aerie's Abigail strapless push-up since all the bras went on sale this weekend. 25% off every bra! And if you buy 4 you get a 5th one free! Too bad I only like the Abigail bra and that only comes in basic colors, except for the one I got. The Abigail bra fits like a dream. Even though I had the option to get the 32aa Abigail, the 32a fit just as well and I was excited to bring it home with me.


I hate to say this, but I really like Aerie undies because of their fit and designs. Aerie markets to pre-teens and college aged students, so all the undies are more petite than the ones from Victoria's Secret. AND they carrry XXS people! Basically Aerie undies make my ass look good and I like what makes my ass look good.

I haven't been into work for a long time so when I went back today I saw that we got in new styles...and even though I went into work with the mind set that I wouldn't buy anything today, I did. I was bad and bought two bras and a matching panty. BUT I LOVE the color and pattern I bought. Not only is the scoopneck styled bra my favorite PINK bra, but I don't have navy or a pink/leopard print bra...so I don't feel guilty and you'll find a hard time making me feel guilty.


One of the things I love doing is displaying my collection of intimates. I finally made the trip to IKEA and got myself a floral canvas storage box to put all my bras in. Since I work at PINK and fold panties all day, I want to be able to bring the same kind of organization at home. So I'm actually really really happy that I can view all my bras at once now.


Organizing my undies is going to be a lot more difficult. If I'm going to organize them by style and then color, I'm going to need something more complicated than a box...

PINK Shop-A-Holic Anonymous

Whenever my store gets new merchandise, I can't help but go "shopping." Today I noticed that we got in new summer dresses, v-necks, boxer shorts, bras and undies. For a while I've been eyeing our lace thongs, but couldn't find 5 that I was totally in love with (5 for $25). But luckily we got in new undies!



These are my DJ Tiesto concert undies. For some really strange reason when I saw this particular thong, I instantly thought of DJ Tiesto. Why? Because of his album cover...



So I've become a fan of lace undies. Once you start getting Brazilians you will too. In general, I always wear thongs whether they are cotton, seamless, mesh or lace. And most of the time they're PINK. I do this because (1) I hate panty lines (2) it's easier to slip on tight fitting pants without everything rolling up and (3) they fit. The only problem I have with them is that my thongs out number all the other styles of undies I have! This is bad because I personally think that cheeky undies like tangas and Brazilians compliment a woman's curves more than an all-revealing thong. I guess that means I'll have to buy more...

But I could be totally wrong...
