Lori's Fashion Reaction: Street decides it's the time of year to buy some poor girl oversized lingerie

This week Street posted on "A mans guide to buying lingerie" with pearls of wisdom like:

"When in doubt buy her bigger bras so that she thinks you want her to get breast implants and smaller panties so that she feels huge compared to the size you think she is." (I'm summarizing here).

The post sparked a bit of a walk down memory lane for Lori's Fashion Reaction. You see, Lori was once dating this guy who (for reasons of decorum) we'll call "Jake" and Jake was a nice enough guy who one day bought her a "just because gift."

A silky camisole with matching boxer shorts from Victoria's Secret. They were size medium. At the time I was about a size 4 and was basically swimming in them. They also weren't my style at all. I was prone to sleeping in t-shirts and sweats, silky/satiny stuff wasn't my thing. We also hadn't been dating that long and the gesture seemed a bit...sleazy.

Needless to say Lori had quite the fashion reaction and has provided her own tips for holiday lingerie shopping.

Bottom line: lingerie isn't a good option unless she's a lacy underthings junkie, or gets off on taking you on sexy shopping trips to Frederick's or the Hustler store. There are OTHER options just as "fun" as lingerie for the both of you- a night stay in a nice hotel in another part of town, a couple's massage, midnight canoe ride on the bay...
