About Mrs. Brooch

…is after Christmas, when Victoria’s Secret celebrates their Semi-Annual Sale…

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year... :  wedding arlington sales undergarments Victoriassecret Victori01

I’m not sure about you guys, but I want a fresh wardrobe of bras and panties when I cross over from Miss to Mrs.! I know it seems silly since he’s seen it all before (*ahem*), but there’s something about wearing a new set that makes me feel new, special, and sexy, which is EXACTLY how I want to feel on our honeymoon.

Since I work near a mall, I snuck over at lunch today to check out the sales. Man, I want everything in that store (is it just me?)!! My motto is to buy a little at a time, though. So I picked up two bras, which I’ll be saving for the honeymoon.

Looksee:

The Biofit Uplift Demi Bra (note: I’m not sure this particular bra is part of the sale, but since it was in the box, the wonderful manager at my particular store gave me a deal):

The Plunge Push-up Bra

Every girl needs at least one push-up bra, right?

Well, I could have bought a lot more (they’re also promoting buy one bra, get one half off at my store), but I decided to take it easy. The semi-sale lasts for a few days, so there’s a chance for me to go back if I feel like I missed something.

It may not seem like much, but I figure if I catch a few sales between now and April, I’ll have at least enough new stuff to get me through the honeymoon.

Are you shopping for lingerie for your honeymoon? What did you buy? Where did you buy it from?

Unfortunately VS doesn’t carry my bra size. A constant disappointment. :( I did score two bras at Macy’s for $15 today, when the original cost would have been $100! Gift cards, post-XMas sales, and free shipping is a magical combination. :D

Now, to take care of those VS gift cards…

Oh man, B, I seriously want to shop VS for the honeymoon. I was just thinking that their sale had to be going on some time soon. I totally intimated to shop for lingerie . . . Aside from the VS PINK panties I wear and Kohl’s Candies Bras, I’ve never really bought anything “fancy.” I may have to do it online if I can’t muster up my courage to shop in store :-D.

Oooh, I totally hit up the semi-annual sale today. I kept it to one bra, but it was SO tempting!!! I mean, $20? For a sexy, lacy, and FUNCTIONAL bra? I could have grabbed one in every color… except bras don’t pay the bills :(

Ummm you mean you bought two bras AND their matching underwear right??? You need at least two pairs of underwear for every bra you buy. Especially on your honeymoon. I am a 16H-HH so I struggle to find lingerie. I now buy it from a store in Newmarket (Auckland, New Zealand) and their stuff is gorgeous. It costs a lot though. I am looking at more than $100 for a regular bra. My fiancee bought me a couple of sets the other week when we were in the North Island but after spending $600 I wont be able to buy any more until the wedding (15 months!) Sigh.

I always shop Vicky’s semiannual sales! And if you can catch them on the first day, you usually have a pretty good selection of stuff versus shopping a couple of days into it after everything has been picked through. If you sign up for their emails, they tell you a few days in advance when the sales are going on. I find that really helpful since I always see adds elsewhere after the fact.

But I love their stuff and its great quality. I definitely plan to shop at Vicky’s throughout the year for honeymoon stuff :)
