New Cami
Welcome Readers! How was your weekend? Today I thought I'd continue with where I left off last week, the new camisole I bought.
The cami is made by Jezebel, which is apparently the same company that makes Felina. I've always thought of Felina as a more upscale or premium brand or at least a cut above more ordinary brands, so this is a good thing. I can't recall owning any other Jezebel items although I could be mistaken.
The top is called the "Animal Attraction Camisole" and comes in a variety of animal prints as well as solid colors. Some of the prints include giraffe, cheetah and panther. Mine is a panther pattern and the color is a grey, not the usual warm brown/orange hue. The edges are finished in a cute pink lace. The material is stretchy nylon. It's fairly soft and smooth.
The main attraction here is the large matching pink bow on the front center cleavage area. Super cute! I do worry that the bow may get wrinkled if I'm not careful in storing this or when it gets washed. The tops of the breast cups and the bottom fringe of the cami have that eyelette lace edging. The outer edges of the cups and the top of the back piece have a toothed edge that is also very cute and a nice touch.
To me, the piece is a little tight, so I'd say it may run small for the size. The material itself is smooth and thin with no lining in the cups, just the way I like it. As for build quality, it feels well built and should hold up well through some playtime. The ad for it online says it can be inner OR outer wear. Would LOVE to see a woman wearing this out somewhere, that'd be really hot!
I was lucky to find it on sale and then it was further discounted beyond the marked down price. It ended up being $12.xx, a great value in my opinion! Since I just got this the other day, I'm guessing you can find one at your local store on sale as well, so hurry on down to Macy's if you like what you see here. Happy hunting!

Shopping
Hola! It's Friday Everyone! Not sure why, maybe it's the stress, but I've been on the boil lately (horny wise that is). I bought those panties I posted about last week and now I went out and bought a camisole too. I really took my time shopping too. I was in an area that was new to me and spotted this mall. Since I had time to kill and was horny as heck, I decided to look around for some lingerie.
The mall had quite a few places I thought might have something I might like. I first looked at Macy's. As was the case last week, I really wanted to find a nice unpadded bra. Something simple and feminine. I know what you're thinking, how can a bra not be feminine, right? Well, believe me some of those everyday type bras are hideous and totally unflattering. No lace, very utilitarian and plain; in other words, ugly.
Getting back to the story, so I was on the hunt for that elusive bra. So I tried Macy's. There were a few cute bras there, but they were all the padded variety. I tried to avoid looking at panties, since I already have too many of those and was afraid I'd find yet another pair I found to be cute. I ended up browsing the sale rack and found several cute items, but not the bra I wanted. I made a mental note of the things I might want and moved on out to the main mall.
I checked Kohl's next. They didn't seem to have anything I was interested in. This was a smaller Kohl's, but they did have a fairly large area for the lingerie. Again, no magic bra there. There were a couple of cute nighties, but I decided against buying anything as I still wanted to look at the other stores.
Next I tried F21. This was a smaller store as well and it didn't have the lingerie section that the bigger stores have. In retrospect, I probably should have checked out some of the clothes racks, but I didn't as I was on a lingerie hunt and my mind was locked in on that.
The next store I tried was JC Penny. The lingerie was upstairs in a medium sized section. Again I avoided the panties and just stayed on target for a bra. Nothing. They had some nighties that were cute too, but they were made of that stretchy cotton, which is comfortable and practical, but not what I was looking for.
I then tried Sears. Sears had a decent sized lingerie section. I found a small amount of things from the "Kardasian" line of lingerie. They were pretty cute, but a little more than I wanted to spend, despite being on sale. I would have bought one cami/nightie thing, but they didn't have my size. The bra section was a mess (in the employees defense, it was the end of the day). Again no bra.
As I was walking back to the other end of the mall, I noticed a small non chain store with wigs and cheap costume jewelry. I could see some lingerie hanging on the back wall, so I did what any lingerie freak would do and went right in. I walked straight to the back and found some cute clothes hanging there. The stuff looked like things strippers would wear to work, in other words, stuff I liked!
They didn't have any stripper shoes, (another thing I'd like to get) and the lingerie was very limited in selection. They didn't have anything that appealed to me enough to crack open my wallet, so I left with the thought that I'd try this place again in the future.
I stopped by VS on the way back and checked out the entire store, paying special attention to the sale rack. A pretty girl came to help me. She must have been 6'2" with her shoes on, very tall. She was very helpfull, if a bit on the pushy side. She made suggestion after suggestion and I would tell her if I liked the item or not. I pretended it was a gift for a girl, not being brave enough to fess up to me actually wanting something for myself. In the end I decided against buying anything, telling the girl I'd come back another time. Most of the things I thought were cute had the dreaded foam cups lining the breasts, yuck.
After leaving VS, the idea became cemented in my head that I would now buy the cami at Macy's that I'd seen at the beginning of this trek. I went right upstairs and found it still there on the sales rack. There were actually three to choose from in the right size. They all looked the same, so I picked one and walked to a register. A pretty sales girl spotted me and came over to help. She was very nice and I asked her if she liked the camisole. She said she'd love to sleep in something so pretty and that she liked the bow detail.
Since this post is getting long, I'll save your eyeballs and do a separate post to review the camisole itself. Have a great weekend everyone!
