Times when no one would see me, basically. And most people think I look all of 16 so I guess I used that to get away with it.
    Hey understood. Just keep it a pleasant memory of youth forever. Otherwise the older you get, you'll look like woman with a bit of dementia or at least homeless in the grocery store with PJs on.

    Suuuuh-weeeet! Then maybe people will feel sorry for me and buy me food! I'm still at that "precious" age where free food rocks my socks! Unfortunately I think I need a nasty bathrobe that reeks of cat urine to get free food. Boo.

    Hi Smurf,

    No you are not being a total dork for owning just sport bras. It just says yo are really into sports. That is far from being a dork. You are just being pragmatic that is all.

    I bought a GRRREAT sports bra recently and would happily buy 5 more of the same and wear them all the time if not for the fact that i also got some amazingly comfortable supportive real bras from the same shop. As a 32/34 DD/E i need the support god love me, but the sporty i got is soooo good it's unreal. Nice look too.

    It's a Max Sports Shock Absorber and i love it.

    heheh - can't really help you on the bra question, but had to giggle at the grocery store picture. Once I get home from work (where I wear casual but clean and neat clothes that fit) I shower and jump into increasingly grubby sweat pants, thick wool socks, t-shirt and a fleece jacket or maybe a loose wool sweater with paint spots on it. So my neighbours are used to seeing me at the grocery store in either sweaty full bike commuter gear, helmet, blinky and all, or the above ballerina slash homeless woman shuffling around in untied shoes look. No wonder they look kind of flabbergasted when I turn up at school occasions wearing make-up and a skirt

    I totally get what you're saying. I bought 2 bras this week, and it was VERY expensive. I couldn't help thinking I'd rather be buying bike stuff, but really, I needed the bras. I probably could get away with sports bras all the time, but I don't. I like a little lace.

    While, I don't *need* to wear a bra, I think it looks better when I do. I don't like wearing sports bras all day long; they tend to feel too tight. When I bought the ones for small busted women from Title 9, they didn't give any support and you could still see everything through my jerseys/tops. So now I buy more supportive ones.
    I started spending good money on regular bras about 5 years ago. What a difference. Nothing like a little fiberfill/foam to make me look better in my clothes. Hey, it's cheaper than implants...

    I just spent $200 on new sport bras, socks and tank tops (essentially gym clothes) and flinched at spending $10 on a skirt for work. I also choose my attire for work based on how well it will cover my sport bra and shorts, generally worn all day under work attire.
    I have been know to traverse around in PJs, but not in a cool way, just the "I don't care. I just got in from a long ride and am comfortable and need a bottle of wine and some popchips" kind of way.
    Be yourself, to the extreme!

    She's probably way more modestly attired than the rest of the people on the beach that she's jogging past.

    I call mine the airbags. Saved my bacon a couple of times when I flew over the handlebars.
