Lose the Granny Panties: It’s Time to Update to Sexy, Empowering Lingerie

I am the absolute worst about updating my underwear. Seriously, the sexiest thing I have are nighties from my bridal shower (which was ten years ago) and my set of Hanky Panky’s which are three years old and have been worn so many times that are practically falling off me. What’s a woman to do? Enlist some help–Breezy Mama tracked down Lauren Rich, of RICHPR, who represents several lingerie companies and hence, knows a thing or two about the subject. And now, I bring you Lauren. . .

The NEW New Year’s Resolution: I Promise to Lose the Granny Panties and Wear Sexy, Empowering Lingerie!

The time has come again for those famed annual resolutions.  Instead of promising yet again to hit the gym or go on a grapefruit diet, how about setting one that will make you feel instantly sexy, confident and empowered – the whole year through? Resolve this year to lose the granny panties and wear sexy, empowering lingerie – and not just for the hubby.  Spice-up your every day with sexy underthings to give you a confidence boost during that interview, corporate meeting, date night or a simple trip to the grocery store!  After all, your underwear is the first thing you put on in the morning  – so why not vamp it up and get each day off to a great, confidence-boosting start?  Swap the granny panties for a lacy hipster or crystal-embellished thong, and put the T-Shirt Bra on stand-by for a cleavage-enhancing, velvet push-up.  With innerwear the new outerwear, let a va-va voom corset peek out underneath your blazer, pair a satin bodysuit with a pencil skirt or skinny jeans, and nix that old cotton tee for a sexy cami!  What are you waiting for?  With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, there’s no better time to slip into some sexy underthings like our picks below.

LOVE THIS ! What timing – after 9+ months so far of exclusively nursing, and am soooo waiting for the time to say “bye-bye Medela, and hellloooo La Perla!” (or at least pull out the honeymoon stash from VS.) :)
