Today I get to do something a bit out of the box. I'm modeling maternity clothing in a fashion show held at Westfield Shopping Center. I hear there will be thousands of people which makes me a bit nervous, but you only live once right. As long as I don't over-heat, we'll be fine. I hope to have a great time and something fun to talk about in the future. I've been catching up on America's Next Top Model episodes just to be on the safe side! lol.

Check out the clothing boutique for whom I will be modeling:

Maternity Style- Part 1

One thing that I've come to appreciate and embrace is the numerous, and often unanticipated changes that you go through during this special time. I've also learned how important it is that you feel great about yourself and your ever changing apperance. Making a fashion statement no longer represents who you are, but your outlook on the day and your future. Not being able to button a pair of pants or wear a shirt that doesn't expose all of your feminine qualities becomes a significant aspect of your day. Here are a few fashion do's that are refreshing and aid in the fight to embrace the new you. These are inexpensive buys that will allow for continued growth, or more purchases ;), without spending a fortune.

Are You Wired?

Currently, there is much controversy surrounding the underwire bra.

Is the intimate stroke of your silent support system the underlying source of breast cancer? Does the underwire trap toxins and prevent the lymphatic system from carrying it's regularly scheduled service?

Ridiculous or Reality?

Believe what you will. I choose to refrain from this debate.

However….

Two substantial slices of metal sit on your chest, sustaining you in a stronghold for a sizable portion of each day. If an unforeseen sequence of events occurs and you are in need of serious intervention, will anyone stop, suspecting that you’re wired? The systems utilized during significantly critical stages of emergency care require electricity.

Silly or Sensible?

Another debatable topic. Again, no swaying debates here!

There is just one more thing to consider....

One Saturday afternoon, I went to the dryer to remove my undergarments. As I shut the door, I felt something cold sweep across my hand. I looked down and there it was…. The underwire was no longer under the sheltering fabric. Ahhh! Surely my eyes deceive me! Look at this! I shouted to my husband. There it was, sticking through the shattered fibers of what used to be a superior bra; or so I thought.

How dangerous is this? I thought

My false sense of security smashed, I knew deep within that I could not continue to subject myself to this potential lung puncturing entity.

Absurd or Astute?

No matter what side you take, my story continues....

Sensitive to my setback, my hubby took a ride with me to our local mall.

What a pleasant surprise!

They had them. Bras without wires. All shapes & sizes; the secret selection.

Surefire Satisfaction!

I seized the moment!

Whether you’re concerned about cancer, banishing the burns, or pitching the puncture potential, here are some wireless options.

So, ladies, Are You Wired?
