I’ve never been one of those girls who needs a matching, lacy bra and thong set to feel hot. While I admit that a great bra is occasionally a worthy splurge, I just can’t rationalize spending $40 on one pair of Hanky Panky Boyshorts, cute as they might be. But when I realized I’d been wearing Old Navy Thongs for the better part of a year, I figured it was time for some new, slightly more grown-up underthings.

Now, I like Cosabella and OnGossamer as much as the next girl.

I like these brands even more at Loehmanns’ seriously slashed prices.

My biggest scores were an On Gossamer bra ($42 reduced to $16.99) and a pair of Hanky Pankys ($36 reduced to $10.97). I also snagged two On Gossamer thongs and some boyshorts (Rene Rofe and Honeydew). If I’d paid full price, my haul might have cost me $136 – not cool. At Loehmann’s, five pairs of undies and one bra cost me a grand total of $52.91.

Now that’s what I call sexy.
