Love Letter to my Lingerie

 

A love letter to lingerie ✨

Hey there, it’s Kate. 🙂

I was going to write an Instagram post, but then thought that what I wanted to write would make a perfect Valentine’s Day love letter to all of you. You might still see it on IG too…Last time I wrote a letter to you, I was laying in bed and writing my thoughts, with Chris by my side. This time I’m in a hotel room with Gus. He has been limping and it has gotten worse, rather than better, so I’m taking him to the vet tomorrow. You might be thinking, “Kate….why are you in a hotel to take your dog to the vet?” Well, let me tell you, …we’ve lived in so many places and our favorite vet is a bit of a distance from where we live now. However they are my favorite vet and the least anxiety inducing for my dog. Anyone who has an anxious dog knows that you’ll do whatever you can to ease their anxiety. For us sometimes that means, we take a road trip to see the vet. 🤷‍♀️ For Gus, we took a really long drive to go for a few walks, get lots of pets, and eat gluten-free pizza. So you will find zero complaints in this hotel room!

As for why we are really here…my aesthetician recently commented about lingerie being that thing you wear once, that gets stuffed in your drawer and never has a purpose again. When she said this, I just awkwardly laughed and agreed, but I can hear myself do it and I was NOT convincing! Her comment really struck me, for several reasons. Since then I’ve kept thinking about it. Personally, I love lingerie and I’ve always been intrigued by it. It fascinates me that some of the most beautiful things we own only cover the smallest portions of our body. I don’t care for a pushup bra or anything uncomfortable, but give me something lacy and beautiful…I’ll put it to good use!

I spend 80% of my time braless, another 10% wearing a bralette or something for working out, and then the last 10% is wearing a pretty bra. That’s still only 10% of the time that the pretty lacy things in my drawer get worn, but I think that’s the fun in it! When I’m going to wear that pretty bra, I LOVE to wear it while I get ready and I save my shirt for the absolute last, so I can admire the bra. Also, I promise that your partner won’t complain. It’s kind of like wearing heels. It’s just extra, that makes me feel sexy, beautiful, confident, strong, and womanly.

My first point here is that I don’t care how often I wear my lingerie and I don’t think you should care either. If it makes you feel good, you should wear it whenever you can. The key to that is making opportunities to wear it!

You know what makes a really sexy outfit? A blazer with a corset or lacy bra top underneath and no shirt. You will knock the socks (and other things ;)) off your partner, when you leave for drinks with the sex appeal everyone dreams of.

Secondly, I swoon over the stories of a lingerie collection. Ugh…it makes my soul happy to think of the energy behind the stories. I remember years ago, when a friend pulled out her lingerie collection and each piece had a story about a relationship and person who inspired it. She wasn’t with any of these people, but the clothing still held a deeply sexual energy. I was fascinated. She probably won’t read this or even know what I was talking about, but it stuck with me because I wanted that for myself.

Lingerie doesn’t go out of style like our other clothes do, so you can hold on to it as long as you want. Whether it’s for nostalgia, story telling, or to wear! As women, sometimes we feel like we can’t wear the same outfit twice. I totally get this, but part of lingerie is that when you wear it, you gain magical powers to seduce and invite empowering sexual experiences. I promise that you will feel empowered and sexy any time you intentionally wear your lingerie. I also promise that your partner will love it!!

Lastly, in the very beginning of this letter, I stated the original comment that sparked this loving rant. The comment created a useless nature of lingerie. I think that anyone who is reading this letter already knows that putting energy into your relationship or yourself is what makes it work. We have to put effort into the things we care about. If you decide that your lingerie has no purpose, is a waste, and can only be used once, that’s fine and is your choice. However if you decide that lingerie has intention, spreads love, and has infinite purpose, well, then you have sensual magic at your finger tips.

Love,

Kate
