Lingerie Saint VS Sinner

My matching Set for March *glances at halo*

In a parallel universe there is a tidier, slightly slimmer, polished version of me strutting around town wearing a matching set of underwear swinging a Celine from a well manicured hand. High on an inner smugness at my own lingerie success, I’d raise a perfectly threaded brow at those around me who were clearly one clasp short of a full set. Unfortunately I live in the real world and as long as I’m not wearing a black bra under a white shirt or committing the ultimate VPL faux pas, I can live with my lingerie sins.

Just a little snap of me in a matching set (in my wildest dreams)

There are various reasons for my eclectic lingerie drawer. I’m a hoarder. Yep, if there is anything I’m bad at, it’s throwing things away. Whether it’s the teeny tiny neon bikini that I will definitely slim into one day to that lacy thong that lost its other half years ago, my house is full of bits and bobs that I just might need one day, if I lose a stone or decide to wear a top that requires a backless, strapless, multi way bra. Reason two? My down right refusal to part with any part of an underwear set that cost over £80.

A common problem that I have with underwear sets is the size. If you’ve been blessed with a D+ bra size you may find that almost every underwear store assumes you have an ample sized bottom to go with it. This means that I’ll compromise on the top only to crawl back to my reliable bras that don’t cause the dreaded double boob. My underwear drawer is full of random bras that I can’t quite let go off. The biggest reason of all? Time. It’s one of the main hurdles in my quest for total lingerie smugness.

To make myself feel better about my lingerie sins I’ve created a little test. How do you score? Are you a saint or a sinner?
