Realizing I Need a Vanishing Back Bra & Other Signs of
Aging
There
are a number of minor indignities associated with the process of maturation.
Accepting that my fingernails have degenerated from strong examples of natural
beauty, always manicured and sporting the latest lacquer into brittle, paper
thin nails replete with an abundance of ridges that cause me to surf the net
investigating possible vitamin deficiencies to explain why I may have to
succumb to faux. I am not yet ready for that!
And
reading glasses are a fact of life. Despite successful Lasik, I need
over-the-counter readers to see print. Fortunately, there are an abundance of
adorable or outrageous readers to suit any personality. I keep at least 2 pair
in my handbag, one pair in every room, and extras in a basket for those
inevitable times when they just disappear! I find boldly colored and patterned
frames bring a bit of zest to the everyday.
But it was the realization that back fat has
crept upon me that really sent me reeling! Oh my! I have now accepted that one
of the finest inventions in recent history is the Soma Vanishing Back bra. I’ve
never had to concern myself with back fat. It never occurred to me that it
could be an issue, until I donned one of my recent purchases – an Eileen Fisher
(yes – another sign of maturity) tunic that revealed a type of muffin top I’d
never previously noticed – little bulges cascading over my correctly fitted
bra. Argh! Apparently I’ve graduated to a special bra for women of a certain
age (or girth) that disguises the straps and little bits of fluff that would
otherwise poke out and ruin the line of a lovely fine knit top. I’ve concluded
that over time, it will become a moral imperative to replace most of my bras
with this miracle worker.
Of
course, my question must be – why don’t all bra styles incorporate this feature?
The sides and back are smooth without elastic that puckers or squeezes, forcing
that extra five pounds into just the wrong spots. The silhouette of the Vanishing Back bra is
sleek. It is comfortable. If only the
color selection were better!
Alas,
I’ve come to terms with this evidence of aging and embrace the Vanishing Back
solution! Even if you don’t, I highly
recommend Soma for your resource for modern personal linens with a terrific
selection of styles at a reasonable price.

ALWAYS Google for coupon codes before completing an online purchase!
