How Many Bras are Too Many Bras?
Okay so there is a bit more pictured here than just bras. There are a couple of clothing items folded up on the seat of the couch, but most of that pile is tank tops bras. In front of that is my collection of cutlets and my sole remaining pair of silicon boobs.
The picture above is the result of me feeling as though I had too much stuff jammed into my bra drawer. I took everything out, threw a couple of things away, and arranged the whole kit and kaboodle. Really, I had no idea that I had so many bras. Maybe if I had really known just how many that I have I wouldn't have purchased the two or three more bras this past Christmas.
Once I had them all laid out I asked Jules the question "how many bras are too many bras, for somebody that doesn't even have boobs?"
The answer? There can never be too many bras for me.
For it is through these wonderful, magnificent, incredible garments and accouterments that I am able to achieve something like what is pictured above. And I sit here now, looking at that photo, at what I can create and I understand how important that is to me.
The fact that I can achieve something that allows me to see myself with such a feminine feature really helps. It helps me to feel better about myself and my body. It helps me to really appreciate what I do have and not be so irritated by what I don't.
There may be those who think that my efforts at creating some decolletage are an attempt to attract those that may appreciate that sort of look, but it is so not. I mean, if others like it, that is fine, totally fine, it is flattering, but really it is for me.
It helps me to like me.
And thus what did I do, while out shopping the other day? I used my gift card.
I like bras.
I love me.
I hope you can find something that helps you to love you.

Thanks Charlene. It really makes me think differently about others that I see showing off their cleavage, I always thought it was to show it off. Now for at least some, I know differently.
DeleteOoo er, that's a lot of... wait a minute.. I seem to have rather a lot of them too, if you count the crop tops, probably more than my wife! Tell me it's perfectly normal! 8-)
