The one that got away Part 1 Part 2

Can't see the colors

I can still smell you on my skin

To find one that fits, I recommend going to Thirdlove online and taking the ‘find my fit’ test. You just answer a few questions about yourself and the bras you wear currently and it will give you the size you should actually be wearing. I’ve been to countless stores and have taken advise of those women who work there, but they have never gotten my size right. One day, I got an advertisement for this about a year ago and gave it a try cause I was sick of wearing ill-fitting bras, and sure enough, it worked. I’m telling you, wearing the right size makes such a huge difference. They don't even make you buy anything from them, though I did, and their bras are nice. However, in my opinion, they are too expensive, and by that I mean, they are the same price I see in most stores. At least the ones I've shopped at. 

To find nice yet affordable bras! My god, please listen to me. You know Rihanna, right? She has her own line of lingerie, as some of you may know, called Savage X Fenty. But it’s not just sexy impractical clothing, she also sells regular bras and underwear for an extremely affordable price. There is a catch though, you have to sign up to be a VIP member, but believe me when I tell you it’s worth it. All you have to do is sign up for it, that's it. It’s $45 a month, BUT you don't have to pay it, you can skip the payment every month and still get the VIP deals. And if you do pay the $45, it’s still your $45, it just turns into store credit. (If you look right now, her fall-winter collection just hit, so they are all regular price, around $35, so that’s not cheap, but her stuff usually is. I’d wait some stuff out and look for deals, cause when things are on sale, it actually becomes affordable. I haven't bought anything at full price.)

Victoria’s Secret has been under fire over the past week since an interview with Vogue was released in which CMO Ed Razek made inflammatory comments about casting plus-size and transgender models for the VS Fashion Show. Among the shocking statements he shared was a direct jab at ThirdLove, a brand that is committed to providing bras and underwear for every body.

“I was completely appalled reading Ed Razek’s comments,” Heidi Zak, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of ThirdLove, exclusively told Teen Vogue. “What kind of leader and what kind of man would say such discriminatory things? It was obvious how out of touch with reality he is — women are rejecting brands that are built on the exclusivity he was touting.”

When asked about the shifting needs and desires of Victoria’s Secret’s customers, Razek told Vogue, “We’re nobody’s third love. We’re their first love. And Victoria’s Secret has been women’s first love from the beginning.” It was a pointed jab at ThirdLove, and Heidi believes it's a retaliation to their petition to boycott this year's Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

... “ We wanted to impact change; We wanted them to see that other people and women care about the diversity in the fashion show and what that fashion show looks like. We are witnessing first-hand how women have collectively embraced brands that stand for something, that try to make the world a better place and that focus on inclusivity instead of exclusivity.”

The comments made by Ed Razek can simply not be ignored. As a leader at one of the most well-known lingerie brands in the world, it's alarming that he would use his platform and influence to insult marginalized communities. But the bigotry expressed in his words falls right in line with Victoria's Secret's brand ethos: their exclusionary business practices have alienated consumers for decades. VS is invested in sending the message that plus, transgender, and gender nonconforming shoppers aren't worthy enough to be reflected on their runway.
