hi, fam!! so many of you have asked for a bra video, so today i am breaking down the essentials with my list of “top 5 essential bras”. i think if you’ve got something in each of these categories, all your styling needs should be covered. assess your wardrobe and lifestyle to see which areas to prioritize. for example, if you rarely wear skimpy tops – no need to spend $$ on a strapless bra. invest in a better quality t-shirt bra you will enjoy everyday. to save, you can also go with convertible options that can tackle several styles within one bra. hope this vid is helpful, enjoy! xo -e
