47. Buy all new underwear

I honestly thought this would be a goal that I hated. Shopping for new unmentionables always seemed like more of a chore to me than a fun excursion....hence the reason for me to even need to replenish my lingerie drawer.

Desperate to never buy a bra/panty from Victoria's Secret ever again, I started with a large online purchase at Gap Body after hearing rave reviews about their bras. (The sale didn't hurt, either.) Overall, I'm pretty happy with their quality - they've held up nicely in the wash and they fit great. I did have to return one of the bras because I could feel the stitching where the strap connects to the back of the bra and it was really itchy. I'm having a similar problem with another one, but I can't return it since I've already worn it....

I did, however, discover my new favorite place to buy underwear: aerie. They're a part of American Eagle, so their underwear does appeal to a younger crowd (i.e. - not a lot of übersexy stuff), but ohmygosh everything is SO comfortable! LoveLoveLoveLoveLove them.

Where was Miller in this process?? :P One would assume he'd be all over such a mission..

I might have to try aerie! I LOVELOVELOVE AE's pajama pants, so one can assume if the underwear is anything like the PJ pants then they are heaven as well.

American Eagle is the ONLY place I've found that has undies I love!!! I now never shop anywhere else for my "unmentionables" but there....and they have the cutest colors and designs!
I'm glad you love that place too!
