I Hate What You're Wearing, Special Underwear Edition.

I get the feeling I was the only who ever watched Carson Kressley's show "How to Look Good Naked". Considering it only ran one (I think) that's probably true. Yes, it was a bit repetitive-he took a variety of women, young, old, fat, thin, black, white and gave them a makeover. The kicker? At the end, when they were feeling good about themselves, he would talk them into doing the shoot naked. of course they did it-by that point they liked themselves and were comfortable enough to do it. It helped that he was gay and acted more like their best girlfriend, but he also gave them confidence and showed them how beautiful they were-and what was possible-something they had never seen or believed.

So, yay, Carson! Every woman should have someone like you in their lives as a cheerleader and style consultant. But the most important thing he did was when he started the clothing makeover, he first took them to a lingerie store. You know why? Because without properly fitting underwear, the best clothes will look awful.I don't care if your bra is too tight and pinches into you (and MANY women wear the wrong-sized bra) or you over fill the cups or it's too big and crumples under your clothing-even the most expensive clothes will look ill-fitting without properly fitting underwear.

Why do I say this? Because just in the past few days, I've so many examples of badly fitting underwear, I could scream. It doesn't look good when your your bra pinches and everyone can see it. No one wants to see your thong (even if you like showing it, trust me, no one wants to see it, unless it's a 12 year-old guy). No one wants to see it, black-bra-under-white-shirt-girl-Sex and the City ended awhile ago-even Carrie Bradshaw stopped doing that.

Here endeth the lecture. Stop it now before I scream-no one wants that.
