In the first box of Barely There intimates I received, the colors were white and nude. Perfect for support but not a lot of sass.
However, this time Barely There stepped it up a notch in the sass department with rugby stripes and tie-dye prints. For those of you who don’t know me that well, I used to play rugby and I was a hippie back in high school. Strange combo, I know but these prints made me very happy to see.
In my latest shipment I received the Foam Bandini Bra in purple rugby stipes (retail – $34).
The foam was nice to avoid poking out. My favorite part though is the convertible straps that can be adjusted so you can wear it with both straps, one strap, or no straps. I tested it out with all 3 possible ways and each one was comfortable. I did have to do some adjusting when I wore it with no straps but it was a small price to pay for my bra not showing (see pic of me below).
The Bandini Bra in blue tie-dye (retail – $29)
The only difference between this bra and the one I mentioned above is the foam padding. Both are super comfy to wear and I could live in them day and night.
The last item in my box was a pair of panties in pink tie-dye (retail 2 for $20).
I’m pretty sure if Layla was big enough she would have stolen them for herself because she loved the pink tie-dye color.
Because I can’t leave this post with just stock pictures, here’s me wearing the foam bandini bra with no straps. Can you see it? (the answer should be no)

The other awesome thing about all of these Barely There products was that it’s easy to pick my size with their smart size chart.
To top off all of this grooviness…Barely There has a Peace, Love and Tie-Dye Sweepstakes going on right now where someone can win a trip to VEGAS BABY! You know you want to go to Vegas (and take me). So go enter the contest, right now.

Note, I was provided the items mentioned above by Barely There but I did not receive compensation. All opinions are my own as well the decision to use stock images for the products. You’re welcome.
After you enter the Vegas contest, be sure to check out the Strawberry Pom Mojito we have posted today over at One Martini. It’s perfect for a mid-day cocktail.

The nice thing about these bras are that they send them to me directly. No shopping required.

Seems like a comfy looking bra… not always easy to find.

I love the idea of getting multiple uses from 1 bra! Also, the tie-dye is super cute

It saves money to buy 1 bra that can be worn 3 ways instead of 3 bras that can each only be worn 1 way.
I need new under-stuff
I would prefer the stripes, I think.

I love that bandini bra. Finding the perfect fitting bra has always been a struggle for me. I miss tie-dye too
I think it’s a struggle for a lot of women.

I’ve never tried a strapless bra before these. I had to do a bit of adjusting but other than that they were good.

Thank you! I figured no one wanted to see me without the shirt on.
Okay- I totally need to get some of these. I have so many strapless dresses & tops now- but I hate to go out with no support. AND the fact that they are comfortable is a huge plus! Seems as the years go by, I am caring less about all the frills & more about how comfortable it is.
