I think I have one of those bras too! I got a strapless bra (one of the kind with the removable straps) that's Fruit of the Loom and it's light pink with slightly darker piping. I remember when I got it that they also had white with pink piping, so I bet it's the same. I love it too! It's the only strapless bra I've ever found that actually stays up well enough that I don't have to avoid wearing it. It amazes me when so many people are spending insane amounts of money on bras when I'm loving the cheap ones.
Alessia, how did your hair turn out?? I don't know if its too late to reassure you but the red tones counteract the green so the idea is that it turns out neutral. I had to do something similar with a friend's hair and it worked. Hope you had good luck too!
Hmm, really, Fruit of the Loom bras?? I need more than an underwire, I need some padding for shaping and lift, and that usually runs me at least $30. But a strapless bra that stays up?! I might have to try that out! I actually got a decent one at Target for $15 but Target bras fall apart quickly so I'm not expecting it to have a long life span. It stays up really well though and gives me cleavage, which is amazing- most strapless bras make me look droopy.

I need a strapless one. I have one with removable straps that I've been using-- but it's definitely not made to be worn as a strapless for any period of time. :/

I have a strapless that works! But I really had to pay for it. Go to Nordstroms. They have great bras, and the bra ladies really know their stuff and will fit you to the right one

that hair story sounds like a nightmare. I have NEVER home colored my hair before, but ive also never dyed my whole head, seems a bit scary. I did just get some more highlights put in recently and they looked really good at first but I think I could go blonder. Ive dabbled with the idea of going dark brown for a while now (ive always been blonde) but realized Im really meant to be a blonde haha plus i dont wanna ruin my hair. Heres a pic of the new highlights but its not the best pis, looks kinda darker.
on the bra note, not sure i could do those cotton ones either. I'm a C and theyre a good shape but I'd feel like I wasnt wearing one or something. VS has strapless bras that work pretty well for me I think theyre the Body by Victoria ones.
looks great, but with those eyes you'd also look gorgeous with dark brown hair. i say go for it someday!

lmao naughty people!
And yes girls, I feel you on the strapless bra skepticism because I used to believe there was no such thing as a strapless bra that stayed up, but this one seriously does the trick for me. It's got a little bit of padding...or maybe padding isn't so much the word as structure. I need something with that sort of molded cup thing rather than just thin fabric because otherwise I'd look like a sort of pointy washboard, but this fruit of the loom one is great. (lol I'm wearing it right now)
the cheap fruit of the loom do have padding - like i said i dont show through them and thats a major concern. im a large C and they really work quite well. you might try them for casual wear and see how you like them.
does it seem like people are saying more negative things about VS lately. is it that people are realizing they arent that good or is the quality down from before? i used to buy VS excllusively but ive moved on to other brands. i bought some LOVELY wonderful bras at the off saks outlet. natori and vera wang and i think one was elle mcpherson. they had cost a mint new and i got them for like 5-8 dollars. most of them, however, were for looks. one was really well made buti cant recall which one.
idio just loves to hang out while women talk about strapless......bras.
I've also found that if you get one band size smaller and one cup size smaller than you normally wear, it really helps. The bra doesn't slip down and there's no overflow. Of course, it does get a little painful after a couple of hours, but I never have to adjust and I LOVE that.
^^That's a good idea dcbee. They always say to try out "sister sizes" (down a cup size/up a band size or vice versa) to see if you can get a better fit anyway, so this makes sense.
Don't you hate how your boobs get bigger when you're on your period? Bleh. I need a whole other set of bras for that time of the month.

thanks for the karma!
My hair...oh boy. Let's say the green isn't there, but I am not blessed with brown roots to mid length, then from the middle down is darker...and very very very very damaged. I wish I never started dying my hair, I have dyed it hundreds of times from bleach blonde to almost black. Today I actually had to put mayo and eggs in it.
Do anyone know of a good deep conditioner for their hair?
Also about the strapless bras... I have a D chest and I bought the VS Ipex convertible bra and it works so well! It has this gel like piping on the inside to keep it held up. Def check it out.
Alessia, I have very very dry hair so I recommend combing olive oil into clean hair before bed, braiding it and then rinsing out in the morning. Also, I've had good results with skipping shampoo for a few weeks, and just using a light conditioner and rinsing with diluted apple cider vinegar once a week or so to get rid of buildup. Though it could strip your color a little so I don't know how'd that work for you.
Pantene Time Renewal hair mask is also really fantastic, I sleep in it regularly.
i like to use olive oil as well. make sure and wash it out well.
i also like to use deep conditioner in the sauna at the gym. i shampoo and put the conditioner on and then get in the sauna for a while then rinse. it really seems to work well.
i like the conditioner that comes in the hair color boxes. it works really well for me.
Watchin' a stretch of road, miles of light explode. Driftin' off a thing I'd never done before. Watchin' a crowd roll in. Out go the lights it begins. A feelin' in my bones I've never felt before...
