White Lines

You wake up one morning and as you’re looking in your closet, trying to plan which cute outfit you will wear, it hits you.  You decide, “Today I’m going to wear a white cotton pencil skirt.”  Before slipping into the skirt, do you first put on:

A)   Nothing, just forget the undergarments altogether!

B)   A skin-toned thong or boyshorts

C)   Saggy granny panties

If you answered A (really??) – I can’t help you, Britney.  If you answered B, you get an A+.  If you answered C, well…did you take the metro to the Pentagon City mall yesterday about 7:30pm? You were in front of me on the “up” escalator, so I couldn’t have ignored you if I tried — and believe me I tried.

I can’t imagine what possessed you to put on the baggy granny panties underneath such a white, form-fitting skirt – perhaps you hadn’t done laundry in a while? Although I’m afraid that is not the case.

I can’t believe I even have to post this, but if you’re going to wear white, you wear skin-colored lingerie. You want to match the color as closely as you can to your own skin tone. It’s that simple. Also, the tighter the clothing, the more imperative it is that the undergarment fits well, because if  it’s too tight (or too loose, in this case) it will cause those unsightly lines.

Hanky Panky has some great thongs and boyshorts, especially the low-rider style. Victoria’s Secret also carries several “no show” styles that will nicely do the trick.

If you already knew this, pat yourself on the back, you get a gold star.
