Default Got Kicked Out of Lane Bryant

Sat I ventured to the mall, had to buy bras. I went to Lane Bryant where I have bought my bras since as far back as I can remeber. After trying on about 15 of them the sales girl looked at me and said "you have to go...you cant shop here anymore".

I was booted out of Lane Bryant and sent down the way to ... I cant say it...
VICTORIAS SECRET!!

I never thought I would be shopping there. Just drove home the fact that what I see in the mirror is not what people see. LOL I still see Lane Bryant but I guess Im Victoria's Secret now.

Side Note: My band size is 38 when I wore my first bra I was 34. Not bad when 8 months ago I was 44/46.

I adore Lane Bryant, but being kicked out of there wouldn't be a bad thing at all! I LOVE shopping in the normal sizes!! It's one of the best things ever!

Way to go!! Hope you got the sexiest bra Victoria's Secret sells!

I am so happy for you! Getting thrown out of the plus size store is got to be a real high point! I'm so happy for you!

I can't wait until I can shop somewhere else!!!

I've had to get "special sizes" since the time I had to wear a bra. I don't know what it's like to wear a bra that really fits....
