Sweet, Sweet Spring in Sweet Tooth Lingerie

Spring is here and the amount of times I sneezed during the creation of the blog post was unholy. Still, with the fresh warmth in the air, there is much to celebrate. Kneecaps, sandals, hairy toes dipped in the river water, new internships, sweaty underboob, Claritin- it all calls to be celebrated. Bees flew in my kitchen while taking these pictures! My dog cried the whole time because she wanted to bolt out that door and roll in the dirt! Winter is a frozen cave of hell for me, featuring poor circulation and constant shivering and wayyyy too many clothes. I prefer my clothing to be minimal, and often transparent.

 Sweet Tooth Lingerie, a handmade brand based out of New York City, specializes in mesh pieces that can be mixed and matched in a variety of colors. A lot of it is basic bralettes, crop tops, and various panties.  Their brand new Spring 2016 collection features new, less traditional styles, complete with cutouts and ruffles and straps - much of what you see is a lot of trendy lingerie right now, but with a difference: price. It goes without saying that there are several components of price, including quality, markup, labor, etc. Basically, there usually is a reason something is expensive, especially when it comes to lingerie. That being said, we don't all need top-tier lingerie that's going to last us into old age, and we can't all afford it. If you're looking for something a little cuter than basic, something matchy, and something in a good price range, it's here, there, everywhere: and at Sweet Tooth Lingerie. 

 Both pieces are made of a white polka-dotted mesh, very thin. Where it pulls tight across my bust, the threads of the mesh come apart a bit, which is where the discussion of quality comes in. It holds up today, but this isn't a piece that's going to stick with me to the end of days (and probably not the end of the year). The edges are lined with a nicely patterned elastic, which makes the straps of the bralette as well, making the whole set one that has a lot of flexibility and breathability, for ultimate comfort.  It feels like wearing nothing most of the time. 

I purchased the Sheer High Neck Bralette and the Sheer High Waisted Panties, both in a Medium. My friends are always getting on my ass about wearing the wrong size panties so here you go: I'm finally buying my true size! 

I found Sweet Tooth's chart to be pretty generous, which probably has to do with the amount of give their product has between all that mesh and elastic. I'm not sure where my ever-changing bust is at these days, but I estimate it's around 37", which puts me smack in the middle of the medium range. I'll usually size down with bralettes just to make sure that underbust can grab hold on me, but I already felt I was (there's no way in Hell I'm a small). The medium works well for me, with enough give to layer a bra underneath, but enough tension to give me a teeny tiny bit of compression without one. The elastic bottom of the crop top does tend to come up to the sweet fold between my breast and belly, but that's part of the delicacies and joys of a soft body and short torso, and doesn't really bother me. It happens a lot less when I layer this piece over a bra, as the bra reduces the movement and pull beneath/on the fabric.

With my waist weighing in at a solid 30.5", I'm on the very edge of the lower part of Sweet Tooth's medium, and since I evidently like my panties on the big side, I loved the fit on this pair. The elastic has a good amount of give on it while still staying in place, and isn't tight enough to cut into the crevice where my leg and my snatch meet. They also hit at my natural waist for once, which is hard when your torso is literally just a hacked off stump. The mesh is a little loose on me, as can be seen in the photos, and tends to wrinkle when I move or twist. I don't much mind that though. They are light, and lined with a cotton gusset. Basically, these panties are gravy. I've been trying to beef up my inventory of mesh panties.

Cuteness, comfort and matching all at a great price? I'll be getting a lot of use out of this set this summer, I predict. I'm very into crop tops right now, and have been sweatin in the gym to make myself more comfortable in them in preparation for when it finally heats up. I see this top layered over a bra, with these panties beneath a skirt, over and over again.

Basics: Textile Champion

I spent this past weekend in a real dream of a cabin up in the Shenandoah Mountains. With my six day workweek life, I was much looking forward to a weekend away, and it being my partner's birthday, I found him a cabin, planned out all the good eats, and whisked him and the pup away to a quiet little shack on the mountain tops with the most gorgeous view. (Is it my butt? Is my butt the mountain? Is my butt the gorgeous view?)(Clearly, nah)(My butt is as flat and dimply as the walls of lil Grand View)(But still a glorious view) Take these undies from Textile Champion as proof that I will literally use any occasion to buy underwear.

First off, I am a huge fan of wood panel walls. I've (sadly) never lived in a house with them, but do find they conjure up a sense of warmth, of nostalgia, of comfort. Also: so much more interesting to look at than any eggshell, matte, or satin wall paint, no matter how many stripes or accent walls. Naturally, this solid image is what drew me to these undies. They are simple cotton printed undies with no flashy elastic or waistband; just some black stitching around the openings to tuck in the edges. Minimalist construction works for me. I've only worn these twice so far, but have had no issues with any loss of shape. I'll update if that happens. In the meantime tho, I can confirm that these stay comfy on my "ladybits" all day long, and stay in place.

Anything without elastic means more flattering for my gummy bear body (speaking of which: gimme). Though I obviously can do elastic, I always prefer to not, usually erring on the side of stretch lace waistband or if it must be elastic, either thick or a size too big. If I could, I would have all my underwear like these. As for sizing? The guide says sizes run similar to Victoria's Secret, which I found true. I got these in a Large, which is my usual size in VS. I am most-likely right in between Medium and Large, as these can get yanked by my sliding jeans a little bit. I doubt I would enjoy the fit of a Medium as much tho.

~makin bday pancakes~showin off my pancake~

 I'd probably call these a basic because
>so comfy
>so simple
>no bells, whistles, frills, ribbons, etc.
>so cute
>I secretly hate plain undies
I'll be back for more.

Bitter Valentine: Dita Von Teese Black Dahlia Set

Valentine's wasn't much of anything this year. I worked all day and came home. My love had rearranged the house, and went to pick up a pizza while I showered. I managed to sneak into this little number before he got back in the door. Surprise! What followed was whole lot of eating pizza and watching Bob's Burgers and butchering brownies out of the box, followed by passing out at midnight. I took off my lingerie myself and slept for the next eleven hours.

One thing I, and many lingerie fans love, is the mood and feeling that wearing a matching set can give you. I tell my customers that coordination under the clothes gives a boost, like a secret superpower. And it's true! When I know I look good, I feel good. And maybe that's why my Valentine's fell flat: This set feels like a big, scratchy wet blanket, and I feel like a little piggy inside it.

I picked this set up on sale off of Journelle in December. It looked so elegant, and the texture very unique. It harked back to the Puffin set by Mimi Holliday, a set I lusted over but knew I could never buy since I don't buy silk. I had wanted to try out a strappy bra for a while, and this one felt like a good introduction: lots of bra structure, with only decorative straps. And a cute suspender belt that, with six straps, was probably also practical? Hoo-ra.

I've worn this bra through the day once (luckily it was an 11 hour workday), and it was the worst. Let's preface that with how often I'll sacrifice a good fit for something that looks pretty, how often I'll deal with cutting wires, with double boobs...etc: o f t e n.  This bra was something else. I purchased this in a 32F, which I can usually do depending on how wide the wires are, especially now that I've quit the Pill. The cups are lightly padded, almost like a molded bra, but with three parts to it (which don't do much for shaping). I suspect this is a bra that works well for smaller busts, since it does little besides cup around the tissue. The floral lace is then overlaid on top, from a little over the cup to about half and inch below the band. The decorative aspects of the straps are elastic with velvet on one side, a lovely decadent texture. In the back, where things are more practical, it's plain elastic.  One end of the strap is sewn around the inside of the band, which tends to irritate me through the day, since the edges aren't even sewn down. I also found the bottom of the boning on the sides to be incredibly uncomfortable as the day went on. And today, my third day wearing this, I've noticed the lace is beginning to unravel right underneath the cage. How quaint.

I honestly only got the briefs to have a complete set, and I think we can all agree when I say this isn't a flattering cut for me. I don't particularly enjoy low-rise briefs with a hard elastic top, because they tend to cut in right beneath my widest part: right above my hips. I almost never buy matching underwear for this reason specifically.  No decorative straps were going to take away from that. I purchased these in a Large, and like many, these sag in the butt (even with a rouched backseam) and accentuate my muffin top beautifully. I don't have much to say about them otherwise. They were comfortable enough. Due to my shape I could not get the straps to stay up. They're anchored below the waist of the brief, and don't seem to be sewn down in a way that allows them to lay flat easily. They twist a lot. They're also made of that decorative velour.

 I was arguably most excited about the garter belt for this set. I only have one or two practical use garter belts, both of which are on the plain side, and since this set boasted metal clips and six straps it seemed like a safe bet. I always order my garter belts in a size or two smaller than my panty, since my waist is very tiny underneath its soft shell, and my hips are meager and narrow. I ordered this in a Small, and still can't keep it up on even the middle hook of three. It constantly slides to my pelvic bones. The majority of the belt is mesh, with floral lace on the front sewn in underneath. It isn't anchored to the mesh besides a four tiny stitches, two at the top, and two at the bottom, so it can rumple a bit during wear. The two cross straps on the front are anchored right in the middle with a tiny stitch, and the ends of that stitch, like many, hangs loose, staring at me. I honestly found it to look a bit cheap. The garters are adjustable, with metal clamps, and give a good range of lengths to accommodate any height.  Around the clasps on the garters there are ribbons. Or, there were ribbons. Upon my second wearing, I've already lost two, and neither time has it been worn for more than three hours. With minimal movement.

The dying aloe plant is a good description of how I feel about this set. I'm honestly very disappointed. I'd always heard good things about Dita Von Teese's lingerie, often about how good the quality is for the price point. This set definitely hits the checkpoints for sex appeal, and triggered a satisfactory response from my partner, but personally, it fell flat for me.  Because of all the positive buzz, I won't rule out trying another set from her line; however, next time it will be one that is more tried and true tested.

Basics: Freya's Hero

Let me start off by saying, sorry, the pictures are not all that I dreamed. Having an apartment with little-to-no natural light is getting more and more old every day.  But for catching the fifteen minutes of light after a day of work in the only window with light, while also having to pause to clean dog vomit off my bed after getting off the first shot, these photos do the job. Much like this bra.

I pull Freya's Hero for my customers any time I can. It goes up to a 38K, making it a less industrious looking bra for those big cups, and in true Freya fashion, starts at a 28 band, so it covers a lot of boob ground. I love pulling it for 30J customers, who often have never worn anything like it, and seeing their eyes light up. The Hero lives up to its name. Women whose breasts have been pushing their arms into jumping jacks finally get to see their gorgeous silhouette, or at least come close. The four part cup has a thick, hard-working side-support panel, and three parts of the main cup made of two different patterns of mesh. At a glance, it looks flimsy, but this shit is tough. I've always been a fan of a more pulled-in, front projection when it comes to bras/breasts, and that always comes to the table when this bra is invited. Yet, I didn't buy it. Three out of my four girls who would buy it, did, some in multiple colors. They loved it. And yet, I still didn't buy it.

 Two years ago, for whatever reason that no doctor nor my plastic surgeon can explain to me, I developed a painful lump in the edge of my left breast. It would swell up particularly before and during my period. When I finally got a proper sizing and proper fitting bras, it receded almost completely. And now, it is back. And it's working full time. 

As I mentioned before, the baby pills hit me in December, and my titties went up half a cup. The expansion didn't happen on the top so much as it did on the sides. Wires that used to just hold me now create a tiny wing of extra boob that just can't be pulled in.  Perhaps it's the hormones that have angered the lump?  I suspect it's the pinch of the wire, separating and indenting my tissue. Either way, with only one bra fitting my properly, I was in misery. I was coming out the tops of all my go to-bras, and had a nagging pain every time I dropped my left arm. In a fit of menstrual rage, I grabbed this bra up. Who knew when how long my size would last in the store?

I'm so glad I did.

I snatched this baby in a 30FF, which is the size I'd done in another Freya bra I'd gotten recently (the Kiyoko). It checks all the boxes fit-wise for me: great lift, strong side-support, and tolerable visage. I have found this bra to run loose, not just for me, but for my customers as well. I can usually do a 32 band more comfortably, and do, because I am a baby when it comes to breaking in my bras. In this bra, a 32 would have been unmanageable. In fact, when fitting with this bra I almost always size down in the back.

Visually, I never fell in love with this bra, and probably won't. I found it absolutely hideous in the pink it came in, and the blue coming this March ain't doing much for me either.  A silver trim rides the straps from start to finish, and lines the top rim of the bra from front to back, giving a little bit of flash and flare to and otherwise bland (to me) basic. The patterns for the mesh are nice enough, and read very smooth under clothing. I haven't had any trouble with seams showing through either, not that I give a shit. The plunge is pleasing.

What really has me wearing this bra 4 out of 7 days a week isn't just that I'm too lazy to get my clean bras from the basement. I truly love the way this bra fits me. I love the shape under clothes as well. Under button-downs, I've found it slightly more minimizing than some of my other bras, possibly because my breasts don't pull at the sides as much. The width of my breasts is perhaps the one thing that bothers me the most about my bigger chest. As I've mentioned before, most of that is due to being post-reduction and still having the width of my old boobs. The Hero takes care of that. I can almost deal with my size again. *dreams*

#softbody

 Naturally, I'm not the only one to review this bra! Naturally, I'm late to the game! One of my resolutions this year is to do a pull-up tho. So expect to see me on top of my game soon.

Take home point: Freya's Hero is the hero I didn't know I needed, and definitely the Hero I didn't deserve. 

A Hopeless Lingerie Christmas

There's been a big lull on here, of which I am constantly thinking about but not acting on. The past two months have been a whirlwind in my household. My partner's extended hours throughout the month of November, and then absence for almost the month of December, coupled with a second job for myself and an international trip left little time for anything beyond eating, sleeping, working, and trying to love my pup in between. Little time and meager funds meant nothing to talk about.  I debated on a Christmas wishlist, but to be perfectly honest, my partner gifted me Hopeless Lingerie and a trip to Japan for Christmas, so there's nothing else to wish for (I try to tell my bratty ass self). We arrived back on the night of Christmas Eve to find packages for me! Lingerie is almost enough to make up for the fact that I'm not still in Tokyo eating ramen ten fuckin times a day!!!!

I haven't had anything from Hopeless since 2013 when I picked up a pair of faux leather garters. It was the first time I'd spent "big money" (70$) (I was just a baby) on something that was on the less practical side, so naturally it took a lot of courage-building to get myself to even consider receiving a whole set.  It may actually have been liquid courage that got to me to ask for this set, along with the free choker deal that was being run at the time. All I gotta say is: Drinking really pays off.

In my younger days, my hands used to shake as I opened delicate tissue paper, reluctant to rip apart any stickers, hyperventilating, but now - not even close. I tore this package open with a maybe a little too much reckless abandon and immediately tore off the clothes I'd been flying in for the past 20 hours, suddenly rejuvenated and ready to face a whole night of Christmas Eve festivities.

I first slid into the Jeanne Knickers, which I got in a Large. I obviously missed the fit notes that mentioned to size down if you find yourself in between sizes: My waist is 30 inches, putting me smack in the middle of Medium and Large, and this fabric's got great stretch. Thus, it's supposed to be a high-waisted brief, but on my tiny stumpy torso, it is high. A good two inches above my navel. And that's cool, because the diamond mesh is the most comfortable thing I've maybe ever had on my body, and the more it's touching, the better. It is so soft that I forgot to take it off before leaving, forgot I was wearing it, which never happens with any other highwaist panties I have, and forgot to change my underwear for the next 24-36 hours. The bamboo gusset really holds up.

The Lita Choker came next, which I also got in a Large, based on advice to go with your knicker size. If I'd followed the original advice to size down in the panties I'd be in business. It is still a fully adjustable choker that I can make work, with two sliding adjusters on each side of the neck. The back connects with a hook on one end that you put into the loop of the satin elastic choker on the other.  Just on my own finickyness, I'd rather not have both adjusters be on the front of the neck. Again, a sizing error that is completely at fault of my own.  This is my first time wearing a choker since I had one of those stretchy plastic ones at age 9, and I've really been working to find exactly how tight I want it without feeling like gagging, but still holding it high on my neck.

Last, I navigated my way through straps, hooks, and adjusters into the Rosemary Bralette, which I  got a Medium in based on recommendation to size down if you were in between sizes. In retrospect, this is the only tip I should have ignored. I'm 30in at my underbust, which puts me in the game for the Small, but my bust at the time was a 38, right in between the Medium and Large. As a 30FF, it's no secret that bralettes aren't really meant for me, and this was no exception. My gut told me to go with the Large, but the written word pulled me to the Medium, and I was worried about running out of adjustment slack on the underbust.

Hindsight is 20/20. I should I have gone with the Large. It doesn't help that I've grown half a cup size since I ordered back in early November, thanks to the godsend that is hormonal birth control. Spillage is a reality. An upsetting reality. This bralette still works well enough and feels amazing, and yields amazing visual results, but I'd be more comfortable with a little bit more coverage. The roundness and softness of my tum also makes the band roll in the front every time I move, but life goes on.

Sizing qualms aside, this set is still a success in my books, and the comfort is unrivaled.  Tiny roses take me back to a childhood of tacky-necked sweaters and days of the week underwear, and coupled with the dark mesh, this set has both edge and enough softness to temper the wound afterwards. The next time I find myself swimming in extra funds, or the excitement of a high-paying job, I may demand more Hopeless come my way.

Spooky Scary: Bones Lingerie

So it's September, and I'm trying to not be a bum about my to-do list for once. Lingerie for Halloween. Sugar Lace releases some absolutely adorable pumpkin knickers, which are perfect, as my first intention for a Halloween costume is a pumpkin. But alas, silk strikes again, as it often does in the world of lingerie. The hunt is back on.  Enter these adorable Bats and Stars High Waist Panties from Bones Lingerie. Sheer lace? $26? I am basic and I am in. (I also requested a custom bralette from another company, with bat appliques to match, but apparently it never came to fruition...? Cool)

I received them about 2 weeks before Halloween (go me) and used the time to give it a good field test. Results may vary.  On a few good notes, these are pretty comfy, pretty cute, pretty seasonal, and pretty affordable.  They stayed in place through a day of work for me, with minimal riding and wedgie.  The lace and cotton panel feel a little bit coarse to the touch. I'm not the best with materials, but I can say, the printed cotton does feel a bit like a tablecloth.  I found it to be very thick. It doesn't move well with the body. On the upside, it feels completely fine on, and gives the tummy a little bit of camouflage by filling in small cracks and crevices. Wearers be warned, the tag is in the front, is large, and is thick. It will move. It will bunch. I will probably be removing it within the next few days.

The lace is a funky floral pattern, which I honestly didn't notice until like yesterday? When I looked at this picture. In my mind, flowers don't seem to go with bats, but then again, I didn't know what the fuck was on there until I had to talk about it. It's been a whirlwind of a month and my brain hasn't been on its best behavior.  Not to worry. Between a terrible day of work and some jubilant Night's festivities, Halloween gave it a very strong, pungent punishment.

My only qualm with these pants is: I don't think they're gonna last. And trust me, as a girl who guiltily can mainly afford F21 and thrift clothes, that's not something that has ever held me back. I don't spend money on clothing expecting it to last. However, I feel differently about my lingerie. After wearing once and washing once, in a lingerie back on the delicate cycle, things is losin' it.  As can be seen, the stitching is unraveling along the waistband, as well as along the gusset.  I pulled on these a bit in the hopes that it was just free ends that hand been hidden at first, but, lemme tell you: they're not.


On one hand, you get what you pay for. $26 is a fine price for some handmade panties imo, especially seasonal ones. On the other, I have $5 Target panties I've been wearing since high school that have lasted longer and held up better. Bottom line: would I order from Bones Lingerie again? Most likely. Handmade novelty panties are my jam, especially to the tune of $26. And there are some real Virgin Mary ones calling my name with a chorus of angels.

Slug contemplates some naughty life choices

Swim: Origami Customs

I sit down to write this review with a heavy hand. Here it is, Labor Day, the unofficial End of [summer] Days, and I am only just posting a review on this bikini top. Because I only just got back from vacation. And that was the first time I got to wear it (as a swimsuit, at least).

This summer has been kind of a wild ride. I transitioned jobs right at the start, to one that is further away and pays significantly less. I took this job expecting to move out of state in a month, in a state of personal crisis. I was only trying to financially bridge the gap. In luck's true fashion, we had that ripped out from beneath us with just a month's warning. Thus followed a wild scramble for a house, which we had to put more money down for to secure, and bam! My bank account is empty, I'm trying to nest this house while being gone ten hours of the day, and never have days off with my dear housemate... This summer went stale quick, to say the least.

But now that the dust has settled, I am emerging from the ashes happier, supported, and ready to Do More Stuff. Hey ya'll. Check this out. Origami Customs is super fucking cool, super aware, and super accommodating brand, focusing on serving queer/trans shoppers and all others alike. Read the Lingerie Addict's interview with Rachel, or check the faq on her website! She manages to make custom-tailored inclusive clothing, keeping sustainability and ethics in mind, and not charge out the back door.

This top was given to me as a gift from my love, thinking that something different and wire-free, yet still supportive, would put some balm on the burn of my recent breast growth. I'd camped out on Origami Customs' Etsy for a while last summer, eying a high-waisted bathing suit bottom, and as winter progressed I noticed the variety of stuff Rachel was starting to make. Her shop only grew, and by spring, I knew I had to have something from her. Enter the Full Support Reversible Bikini top.

I ordered this top in mid- to late-May, and I think I got it at the end of June, or maybe the beginning of July... I can't recall.  I'd estimate it took about five/six weeks to get here, which I consider pretty reasonable: first of all, she gives you a heads up; second, I ordered a custom suit in May. I get what I deserve for procrastination. Also, it's about $40 for a custom-made, reversible top - that's like two swimsuits for my lazy ass. It's a steal.

I chose black and cherry blossom for mine (as you can see). Originally I'd requested the ties to be cherry blossom as well, but Rachel messaged me to let me know she didn't have enough to do that and asked if black would be okay (of course). I also let her know my underbust and bust measurements, and the bra size I was doing. And as you can see, the results were pleasing.

The first time I wore this was not for swimming, but for a bra under a see-through halter at work. Nine hours of security and comfort is what I got. You're not going to get the same amount of lift out of this top as you would one with underwire, obviously, but the security is worth it. The cross-back style keeps the suit tight on the body, without putting all the weight on the neck as most halter tops would. That being said, you still definitely get some digging on the skin around the neck and shoulders, which is a necessity when trying to tightly secure weight. Not really a big deal. I wore this top for at least five hours straight at the beach with little irritation.

Getting into the top is a little confusing at first. There's a lot of strap to go around. The straps are anchored at the top of the triangles, the go across the back and through little loops on the outer corners, pictured below. The loop is the dominant fabric folded over and sewn down. The straps then meet on the back to tie, cinching the front to the body and keeping it firmly in place without being tight on the back.

Above all, this top is so, so comfortable. Nothing digs in, nothing itches, nothing needs constant readjusting...It stays where I put it and keeps the tits close by. I could easily Baywatch up the coast and feel secure that my tits won't come out anywhere, even if they join in with the full body jiggle. In fact, if there weren't fifteen shark attacks on the coast this summer, on top of a few sightings while we were out there, I would've given this top the nip-slip body-surf contest with confidence. I never felt that I was coming out of it, which is more than I could say for the other top I brought, a Freya halter with wire.

All in all, my gripes are meek and few. I've worn this maybe five days in total now, and while the structure has been sound as shit, I notice that around the edges of the suit where the two sides meet, the stitching seems pulled pretty tight. Like it may come loose in the future. I'm not too worried about it, and it would be an easy fix. That's something only time will tell, tho. Also, there's some weird brown schmutz on the cherry side, right smack in the middle of the suit, that I can't lift out. It's been there since the first time I put it on. I will go ahead and give the maker the benefit of the doubt there and assume I fucked up somewhere in storage, because it is in my nature...I just wish I knew where. And a better way to try and get it off.

schmutz, front n center

Nipple visibility may be an issue with this suit depending on the color or fabric you choose (there's like 27!!), if that's something that matters to you. Personally, I don't give a shit. Either way, you can add bra cups or padding to most of her stuff. Customization and endless accommodation! Padding might also be something to look into if you want any sort of shape or lift from this top. It's great for support, but I don't love the natural shape of my breasts, and if you don't either, you might not favor the way this looks on you. Wide breasts, when supported without shaping, just get wider, and due to my reduction, my breasts are as wide as the were pre-op without the pendulous length. I would be cautious for those who truly define full-busted, because without the support of a wire, the weight from the chest will still be anchored on the upper back. Fuck a halter top, it's definitely better than that. But this might not be life-changing for those with a lot of tissue in their pockets. I do think this top would be great for those who have  bigger band sizes, though. Because the weight is distributed through-out the strapping on the back, there would most-likely be a lot less digging from straps and wire alike, and a smoother look overall.  If that's what you're going for.

After building this post, I'm not loving my body right now.  But I do love this top!  Hopefully my size stays stable enough that I can wear this for many years to come. It'd be fucking amazing to wear a bikini top for two summers in a row. Until next time, stay warm! Winter blows.
