Cautiously Optimistic

I spent almost two hours at the Title Nine store in Berkeley on Saturday, where I tried on 14 different styles of bras, of which six fit well enough that I felt it was worth buying them.

A couple fit so well that I even bought them in multiple colors!

Now it's quite possible that something that looked and felt good during a test drive (aka in the dressing room) will look and feel not-so-good out on the open road (aka during a full day of work, or the equivalent). So I'm not tossing my other bras just yet.

But I am hoping to be able to do that in a couple of weeks' time, once I have worked my way through the rotation and can better judge my new unmentionables' real-world performance.

Fortunately, TItle Nine has a no-hassle return policy, so I have up to a year to trade in any of the models that don't meet my body's exacting standards.

In the meantime, I'll be getting dressed without a grimace for the first time in a long, long while.
