Decorative Bra Straps Offer Bling as Well as Support

It's sad to say, but the time has come for plain old boring white and flesh colored bra straps to retire. May I suggest The Villages in sunny Florida? Since the invention of the brassiere, these boulder holder staples have worked arduously beneath blouses, sweaters, t-shirts and tanks stretching and straining for up to 18 hours to keep women's busts perky and at chest level.

However, with more and more daring style strutters baring their bra straps under sundresses, tube tops, off the shoulder tops and many more styles that make bra hiding awkward, simple whites and beiges just don't cut it anymore. "It's like wearing Granny underwear with low rise jeans," one bawdy style expert explained. Yes, I think we all shudder to picture that. However, since strapless bras leave most women feeling a little low, straps, no matter how unsightly, are vital in fighting the evil forces of gravity.

Enter the superheroine idea of the day (drumroll, please) Fashion Accessory Bra Straps, aka "jewelry for your shoulders." Yes, go ahead, ladies, throw away your tired, stretched, and warn out straps.

And replace them with these little beauties. Found at http://www.brastraps.com/, will turn any lack luster convertible bra into a fashion statement. Most retail between $8.99 and $45.00. A little pricey for dressed-up elastic.

But, hey, you're worth it.

I just wonder if they come in industrial strength, reinforced, bungee material for those of us gals who need a little extra giddy-up for our loads.
