Today is another collaboration with the Magnificent 8, a group of bloggers across generations who get together once a quarter to show how style can be ageless. The group was super considerate of the fact that I don’t have much of a wardrobe to choose from here in Scotland, so this quarter’s theme was ‘thrifted’—easy-peasy for me since I do the Thrifty Six collaboration once a month.

I have a very long list of potential blog posts—and I’ve talked about bras on the blog before—but I’ve never considered doing a post about the *lack* of over-the-shoulder-bolder-holders. So what’s the first thing I did after receiving this request? I started going braless myself, duh! Continue reading “Braless Fashion: Yay or Nay?”
