There were a couple of things I had my eye on. I've been walking past the cute glass turkey platter that they were selling for $12. It had been marked down by 25% (because we're soooooooo close to Thanksgiving...) so that was on my list. And there was a cute pumpkin scented candle that Paul thought smelled great (and since we're trying to cover up smells...) that was also on the 25% off shelf.
A can opener was also on the list because mine broke last week.
Then we cruised past the "made for TV aisle." There was something I was hoping against hope to see there. Because, while I wasn't about to pay shipping and handling to order this particular item over the phone, I thought that I might just use my extra bucks to get them for free. And there they were just waiting to be snatched up. The Cami-Secret.
It's like a little swatch of fabric that attaches to the straps of bras to give low cut shirts a higher neckline. Not everyone thinks it's a good idea. Then again, covering cleavage hasn't exactly been a major fashion trend in the twenty-first century.
For the past couple of years I've used camisoles to give low cut dresses and shirts a higher neckline. It's hard to find nursing tops with appropriate necklines and it seems like every dress with a low enough hemline has a plunging neck. With a toddler who constantly pulls at my camisoles I have a hard time keeping them in place (and camisoles are more expensive, even the three packs I get at Costco!). The Cami-Secret claims to clip at any level on bra straps and stay in place.
We will see. If it passes the toddler test I will be thrilled. If it "mostly passes" the toddler test (and stays put most of the time) I will still be pretty excited.
I'm pretty happy with my cami bra from Lane Bryant. Not sure if other lingerie companies make something like that.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any, but I imagine they're out there. The big plus of these for me is that that they're about $3.33 a piece. And since I definitely can't afford new bras (they're so ridiculously pricey!) this is a great compromise! The other plus is that I can wear it with a nursing bra, which all of mien are. And I like the adjustable levels! But I would say anything that works individually in this way would be great!
ReplyDeleteI hope things will turn out well with the lawyer. In the meantime, I would love to hear if this cami thing passes the test. =)
ReplyDeleteI went to the link with the bad review, but it cracked me up that all the commenters disagreed and said the product was a good idea!
