My Long Term Underwear Strategy

I can't believe I've had my long term underwear strategy in place for around 6 years and never blogged about it. As my my long term underwear strategy has recently become my medium term underwear strategy I though it was worth a mention.

So the 6 years ago version me was similar to me now but I hadn't met Dan, I didn't have a blog, I'd only just got an email address (not because the technology wasn't there I was just was quite stubborn/lazy about learning new things) I was also quite angry about the middle east and was a bit less girly than I am now. Just setting the scene.

Anyway I've always been quite business minded and I think if I was a bit more money motivated I could be a good business person but the problem is I view fun as my currency for life and therefore I would only be interested in making more money if it resulted in me having more fun, and on balance I don't think it would. Most successful business people spend the Marjory of their lives wearing grey and and working in greyish rooms and I just can't take that lack of colour. So I use my strategic business knowledge in my everyday life decisions such as underwear purchasing.

My long term life goal (underwear wise) is to be able to wear matching underwear everyday when I'm married.

If you are a woman you have probably already spotted the potential difficulties arising here which is: you change your knickers everyday but you only change your bra every couple of days.

There are several ways round this problem you could choose to wash your bra everyday, you could choose to only wash your knickers every few days (but that's gross) you could buy all your underwear the same or you could do what I have done and implement a 3 to 1 ratio of knickers to bras. This means that instead of just buying underwear randomly I would buy it less often but I would always buy 3 pairs of knickers and one bra at any time I needed underwear.

This worked ok for a couple of years and I began to build up a good collection but then there was a few months when I lost my focus and was lured buy those nice topshop 3 really pretty knickers for £9 but they don't match any thing offers. So I got a bit lax but now that I will be married in 6 months it is time to reintroduce the magic 3 to 1 ratio and make my long term underwear strategy into a medium term one.

A special thank you to Helen and Rachel who have supported me in my dream from the very begining and have even invested a £20 la senza voucher to the cause. xx
