I am a huge fan of Aerie bras. They’re comfortable, affordable and maybe the best part: they’re pretty. This dress was just begging for a feminine little lace number to peek through, and the Aerie lace bandeau did just the trick. This summer I have embraced the lace bralette with gusto, by basically living in them all day every day. They’re comfortable, look cute underneath a lightweight summer dress and they’re super easy to nurse in. Win win win.
I thought this was pretty spot on, with 9 bras that every girl needs. Now, I consider myself a connoisseur of sorts. I have far too many bras to count, it’s kind of ridiculous. So this graphic by Aerie really spoke to me (see more on Aerie’s blog!), and has convinced me to do a thorough cleaning out of my bras and really figure out which ones to keep, which ones actually fit me properly, and which ones have run their course. I’m trying to embrace the “less is more” philosophy, and so I’m liking the idea of only having about 10 bras. That’s doable, right? Pray for me.
How many bras do you own?
Any tips on getting rid of some? ;)

Reading this reminds me I need to buy a multi-way bra. I still dont’ have one–I live in sport bras!
Katie
Girl, me too! Sports bras are basically all I wear, besides my bralettes! LOVE them!

Love the lace bralette! You can really do a lot with it!
Katie
Absolutely! I love that you don’t have to worry about hiding it, too, since the whole point is to let it peek through!

I adore that little lace bralette!! Super cute on you!! And the easiest way for me to get rid of things is by how often I wear. If I don’t wear it that often, or can’t remember in the last 6 months if I wore it, then I get rid of it, because normally if I haven’t then I know I won’t. And if it is wore out, then that’s kind of a given, you just get to buy another one { if you need to } to replace it :)
Katie
Ugh, I always tell myself to do that (if I haven’t worn it in the past 6 months, get rid of it) but then I always make a million excuses! Haha I just need you to come over and help me be extra aggressive! ;)

Thanks so much!! :) Bras that don’t feel like bras are pretty much the best!

Right now (especially since its summer) I am really into lace bralettes (from Aerie mostly). The no padding makes them lighter coverage and make your boobs feel a little less imprisoned. And they look so cute !
Katie
Doesn’t Aerie have the best bras?!

Becky
So glad you posted this – I’m in the market for a few new bras and would love one with that pretty back!

I’m so glad i read this today as I’ve actually not heard of this brand. I like how you’re wearing the F21 dress with the lace bralette. I also shy away from backless dresses as I need to wear a bra but this is such a great idea! Thanks for the inspiration!
Katie
Aww I’m so glad this helped! YES, I usually shy away from backless dresses too, but a cute little bralette is totally the answer! :)

Beautiful! I’ve been meaning to get a pretty bra for those shirts/dresses that seem to expose my bra no matter what. I usually stick to Victoria’s Secret, but I’ll have to look at Aerie’s selection!
Jill
I love the idea of a lace bralet. And I clearly need to invest in a multi-way bra!!
