Love Buy

Now that the sun is out it's time to shop for our summer wardrobes! Oh what fun! A frequent piece of advice women are given when shopping is "if you don't love it, don't buy it." I am a shopaholic in denial and frequently make all sorts of ridiculous impulse purchases. I have a very difficult time realizing that just because something is "all the rage" or "on sale" doesn't mean I have to have it. I am getting better, slowly, maybe.

This got me thinking, when it comes to underwear shopping, do women follow this advice? As far as lingerie goes, North America is way behind. Europe is really where it's at. Women there dress to the nines both inside and out. But over here it's all about function. Which is important yes, but who really wants to wear a plain beige bra all the time? Women often use the excuse that no one sees their underwear or they're single so, what's the point? I like to think of  this as the non-pert way to go about shopping for your underwear. For instance, a red bra will disappear under white. I know what you're thinking. It does not. But it does. That's fashion and function right there. And since they say it's better to leave some things to the imagination, it's a really good feeling knowing you are in fact walking around wearing the stuff that usually only shows up in thought bubbles. I realize I am completely biased when it comes to all of this. Last time I organized my top drawer(s) I counted something like 45+ bras. But, only 3 of those are beige. Winning! So, next time you're out shopping for a new bra, ask yourself if YOU really love it. I hope you leave with something kinda wonderful.

Happy International Women's Day

via Pinterest

It's International Women's Day today! Remember, there was a time when women couldn't vote. I know things have changed but, what was up with that?! Thank goodness for the advancements we have made in equal rights for women around the world. Today is all about celebrating that and looking ahead as we continue to create a shimmering future for all women and girls! In many cities, today is a holiday celebrated much like Mother's Day where men shower the women they love with flowers and small gifts. Hmm...interesting. Although women continue to face struggles regarding equal pay, representation and violence it is wonderful that we are free to make our own choices and celebrate what it is we can bring to this world. Together, there really isn't anything we can't do.

Favourite Thing: Sexy Period Undies

Ok. So you know when you're supposed to be getting your period any day now but you're not exactly sure because mother nature operates on her own amazingly precise schedule? And when you have this thing you have to go to and you wanted to wear that skirt, it would be really nice if she co-operated for once so you had some peace of mind and could plan your outfit accordingly.
Well girls, might I introduce you to Sexy Period, our favourite thing at PERT this week. Their undies solve this problem. They provide that extra "crap, what if I get my period?" cushion to your busy, on-the-go, oh ya, no problem, I can make that call, right before I pick those up, and get to that meeting to give the all important presentation, meet you for coffee, go to yoga, followed by a much needed nail appointment, walking the dog, then there's that charity event and late dinner with the adorable boy from last months conference. Phew. Yes. These undies will get you through it all. I know. Amazeballs. And, to top it all off, they don't look like the terribly unfortunate granny panties you keep hidden in the back of your dresser drawer for times like these. They come in four lovely styles: thong, cheeky, bikini and hipster. All are made with their signature breathable leak resistent fabric. They definitely won't cramp your style. I don't know about you, but this sounds pretty sexy. Period.

We cannot say enough good things about Sexy Period underwear. Come visit us at PERT and try on a pair as soon as you can! Also, check out this cute little video and their fab website here.
