One Bitchin’ Bandeau

A few months ago, I bought a ridiculously low-cut top from H&M. I stupidly tried it on over a camisole and concluded that, with the right bra, I could pull it off without looking like a total hussie. A few at-home outfit attempts affirmed the error of my purchase. With a regular bra, the top looked grossly suggestive; It was as though I’d either forgotten to - or worse, couldn’t afford to - fully dress myself. I tried it on again with a cami; this diminished the slut-factor significantly, but rendered the top utterly unexciting.
American Apparel answered my style query in the form of this $18 bandeau. While I’m totally with the idea the company puts out there via its naughty, young, scruffy, dewy/greasy models - that being in your twenties means occasionally slutting it out and getting away with it - I’m not one to prance around in a bandeau and call it a strapless top. As an undergarment, however, it’s beyond sexy.
