A different kind of panty perk-me-up

Those mornings when you need a little convincing not to waste that last sick day only to ruminate at home in your I-feel-paunchy bad mood, I'm usually the first to propose slipping into something with less-coverage made of black lace that pushes you up-up-and-out. In other words, underneath that professional veneer, I advocate dressing like a saucy minx.

Today is not one of those mornings.

No, this morning is less about wearing something to mask a feeling than it is about wearing something to celebrate a feeling -- a frolicsome feeling.

So do what I'm about to do and dig to the way-back of that unmentionables drawer, fish-out and snap-on your one plain white cotton bra, pair it with one of these fun little ladypants and while you're sipping that first cup of coffee, think back to a time when you considered multicolored popsicles on your crotch so naughty you'd only show your very best girlfriend in the bathroom after recess.

How in the world can a pair of panties be $110? (I am referring to the "sugar daddy" pair) What are they made out of? Is there any justification?

Ah, the fine art of dressing to please oneself. Cheers!

Brooke -

No, there's no real excuse for a $110 pair of panties. It's the quality of materials and craftsmanship, I suppose, but still, $110? The experience of buying La Perla might be worth that amount (their boutique in NYC is breathtaking), but until I'm - or my future spouse is - making a multi-million dollar salary, I'll stick with VS for undies and overspend where it really matters -- shoes.

That pair with the cupcakes on it is sooo cute! Are you able to order through Top Shop? I thought they wouldn't deliver to non-UK addresses, which SUCKS.

And since I don't have the Bieltastic ass you do, I probably shouldn't get a pair of boyshorts just yet...
