Just curious ladies,
Where do you get your lingerie? I've recently been getting mine through a mailorder company, but each piece is so expensive. I'm the type who when at home, I can't stand dressing up, so I'll lounge around in PJs (sweatshirt and top) but I know better than to do this when my guy is around so I sport lingerie during my off days instead. I'm still taking college classes so these pieces are staring to put a dent in my wallet, I want a nice, yet cost-effective alternative. Looking forward to suggestions. Also, don't be afraid to share what your favorite pieces of clothing are. I like teddies and body stockings. I also like the silky babydoll cut dress that have lace. I've actually seen some cute ones in the large summer JCP catalog lately! I also I love to wear the sexy, feminine slippers. Although if I see some with a disney character, I'm a sucker for those too.

This is a good question!
Do you have a Marshall's or TJ Maxx anywhere near you? You can get really good lingerie there for a fraction of the regular price, and I know most people don't even think of looking there. I bought a back Calvin Klein see-through teddy that was originally $40.00 for $7.00.
Ohhhh, you rock! Yes I do have both of those in my area, and yeah I haven't really thought of shopping there lately. I used to shop there for my racy undergarments when I was in high school, but that's been years ago, so I've since forgotten. I shall check them out tomorrow! Thanks for the suggestion really.

Lingerie is like any other clothing - if you find a few great classic pieces, they never get boring or go out of style.
I did indeed have success. I found a very nice navy blue teddy trimmed in lace at TJ Maxx, 2 very elegant babydoll-cut satin gowns and several pairs of sexy panties (I couldn't pass them up!) They are a perfect fit and this all cost me under $18.00. I'm already having fun with my purchases. In fact on the way home, I even stopped by Barne's and Nobles and picked out a book on different sexual positions. So basically I just had a ball. I should try Kohl's also! Geez, I must have lost my shopping sense. I appreciate all the suggestions.

Just went to a Victoria's Secret sale today. Got 8 pieces of lingerie for 40 bucks!

Hello, this is a mans take on lingerie. You do not necesarly need to wear lingerie to look sexy for your SO. Now dont get me wrong, I like it when she wears it, I also like it when she wears other sex provocative clothing. For example, she has a pair of old jeans she cut up into daisy dukes, she will wear that with a nice pair of high heels, and nicely cut up t-shirt. This gives the trashy look.
You can also go for heels and stockings in a nice summer dress with no panties. He will be suprised. I think there is nothing sexier than a lay in heels and a pair of stockings and nothing else. Also try wearing one of his dress shirts with just the two bottom buttons buttoned. Use your imagination, ask him what he likes. Also you might want to go to an adult store in your area. Take hime along and ask him what he likes. There are several adult stores in our area. These stores are done pretty tasetfull, despite the dildos and blowup dolls. We buy stuff online also, there are times they have stuff on sale. Now with summer on the way out, these on line places mightbe having some good sales.
Again this is just a man's prospective for what it is worth to you ladies.Good luck and take care
Hello Male,
Well, just as men have hobbies with certain things, some women love to collect and wear lingerie with the same passion. I personally wear lingerie for myself because I like the way it looks on me and I feel sensuous when I wear it. Also, my guy loves to see me in lingerie and requests for me to wear it more often, so that too is a male's perspective ;) (and one that I very much like by the way). I normally take my man shopping with me to get his opinion on what I wear, and if he sees something sexy, that he thinks will look a little racy, yet classy at the same time, he'll pick it out for me. We occasionally go to the local adult store to shop for clothing, but I much prefer Victoria's Secret for sexy clothing laced with a touch of "class" as they are more versatile in where you can wear them. Also, I'm sure as you are aware that all lingerie is not see-through and styled like a XXX costume. Some pieces are very classy and suitable to wear every day around your humble abode or even to step out in to run errands. However, I'm sure you are right when you say that not all men view it as a requirement for their women to look sexy.
I'm glad that you don't require your SO to wear it, but I'll bet she loves the way it looks on herself and how feminine it makes her feel. All the beauty routines that women go through are mostly for self-appreciation rather than to attract male attention, at least that's why I do it. Men liking the way we look when we pamper ourselves is just an added bonus,lol. Thanks for your 2 cents, it was interesting to hear another man's thoughts on the issue of sexy clothing. I will try your suggestion of putting on one his dress shirts as a surprise one day, that should be fun, as I haven't done this in years, and the last time I did, the gesture was very appreciated. Also, the suggestion about the summer dress with high heels and no panties sounds hot and definitely worth doing.
