Summertime...and the bra solutions are easy!

We're finally out from under all the sweaters and jackets and can have some fun with cute summer styles - but if you've like most girls, I bet you've got a few awesome sleeveless and strappy pieces that stay in the closet because you just don't know what to wear...underneath!

Well - we've got some great solutions for you - and to demonstrate, we had some of our very own SOL Girls model their favorite summery fashions...

First up is Krista - she is wearing a gorgeous white plunge top and to make it even more dramatic, the top is cut in on her shoulders. Total Hollywood, no? Her brilliant solution is the lovely Prima Donna Babel bra .  This lace bra is completely invisible under her tailored white shirt and is a beautiful option instead of a plain nude bra. And to keep the straps from peeking out, Krista added the Embrace Bra Strap Solution. Voila! It's now a racer back. 



Check out the back - you can't see the bra or Embrace at all. For $10,  the Embrace is really one of the best gadgets to have in your bra wardrobe. You'll find yourself using it for all your summertime tops! (One SOL Girl we know keeps an extra in her purse to hand out to friends!)
 

Next up, the adorable Helen is ready for a day in the sunshine or a night on the town. She layered her cute lacey racer back tank top with the L'Aventure "Dottie" in Opaline and to jazz it up...converted it to a halter! Super cute and such a fun look. A great way to let your straps show!


Next is Jordy. She's wearing a breezy linen dress that totally says "Summer!" But - the sleeveless dress straps cut in a little toward the neck. Her solution? Wear a bra the same color of the dress...if it peeks out, it coordinates so well it looks planned. Jordy's always thinking! Her choice was the perfectly lovely Romance A Kyoto by Aubade. Love that color, don't you? 


Our final volunteer model is Janelle. Her super cute dress has such a distinctive neckline and such tiny spaghetti straps...what to do?  She removed the straps from her black Daisy bra and wore it as a strapless! Great, comfortable solution - with no tugging...and no straps showing!

Do you have a summer top that gives you fits? Bring it in! We love to help find just the right solution so that you're getting the most out of your summer wardrobe!  Thanks to all our awesome models!
