We had dinner at a friend´s house so today´s shots aren´t taken at our place for a change. It was an amazing meal with great friends and I understand I need to get out more often!

During some quiet time at work today I suddenly figured out that I want to start collecting vintage underwear. There´s something about those high waisted panties and pointy bras that I just adore. I started searching eBay and found a lot of great stuff, especially at Vintage Opulence. Some of the panties come with tags and are unworn, so you don´t have to wear somebody else’s old underwear. I am however not sure how the sizing works to have them fit properly and they seem to be quite popular and run fairly high in price.

So I went on and searched the web for retro underwear. There are quite a few shops out there, but for some reason, they don´t have the same innocence as the true vintage ones. Don´t get me wrong, I love the pin-up look as well, but I was thinking of getting a collection that would work for every day wear. I ended up getting the chocking pink frilly knickers at Pandora´s Choice though, just for fun.

After thinking things through I said to my husband that what I really want for my upcoming birthday is a lingerie set from Agent Provocateur. Their underwear have a lot of that retro feeling as well, maybe not that innocent either, but the quality is impeccable.

On my way home I stopped by H&M´s lingerie shop. I´ve never been a fan of their underwear, but I love the bras that go by “our perfect bra”. You really do get a lot for the money and I especially love the nude tones. I intended to buy an extra set as I´ve worn the old one so much. I discovered that they had launched an improved version of the underwear, so all my old favorites were sold for a fraction of the price. I ended up getting 4 bras and 11 panties for about $30!

It has been a day filled with underwear in other words, but my journey has just begun… My plan is to have a huge and beautiful collection of retro/vintage goodies so that I don´t have to opt for those old ugly ones that are always left at the bottom of the drawer before laundry day…
