As soon as I walk in the door after a long day, I start undressing. Shoes first, of course. Then jewelry. Then comes the blessing of all blessings: I take off my bra.
I've mentioned this before, but underwire bras are not my jam. The cups never seem to fit correctly. The straps continuously slide down. I have to furtively adjust my boobs and dig around under my blouse like a pervert multiple times a day

I've mentioned my devotion to cotton underwear and no-wire bras before, but I never expected there to be a lingerie store centered around all of the above just blocks from me and my credit cards. Swoon, which opened on Vine Street this month, is a feminine (and feminist) haven of warm peach tones and comfy underthings for women who mix the fanciful with the practical.
The boutique carries bras and underwear from eco-friendly lines like baserange

I’m not really the fancy underwear type, at least not any more. I worked at Victoria’s Secret when I was in college and managed to amass an impressive collection of lace and satin and mesh delicates in every color of the rainbow. They were mostly uncomfortable and definitely impractical.
A few years ago, I got rid of pretty much everything that wasn’t cotton or lace and didn’t fit into my black, gray, and red color scheme.
