There are many things I love about being single: not having to ‘check in’ with anybody, watching “Bridget Jones’ Diary” (again), getting all the blankets to myself, and best of all, lounging around in comfy pajamas and T-shirt bras whenever I want.
There comes a point though when comfy crosses the line to downright unfortunate. The other day, I opened my dresser drawer to find a ball of faded skivvies and over-sized sleep shirts that were unmistakably waving white flags in my direction.
Realizing that it has been far too long since I bought under/sleepwear, I spent the evening looking at vintage nightgowns on Etsy. There’s something so delicate and airy about a silky little nightie, and I thought it would be a good place to start.
A friend of mine used to order pretty lingerie from places like Victoria’s Secret and Anthropologie. She liked to buy it for herself, boyfriend or no. She said it was worth the splurge, because it made her feel pretty and confident.
I think we could all take a cue from her. Why not be pretty for ourselves? Why wait until some guy is in the picture to wear something that makes us feel sassy?
I think we’re worth it, ladies.
