The Pants You Wear On Your Wedding Day Should Be Your Something Old, Not Your Something Blue

January 27, 2015 by editor

Those days when you’re wearing the wrong knickers. Those days. Itching, hoiking, pulling, pinging — there’s no peace to be found in bad pants. A woman in the wrong knickers is a woman disarmed. So tell me this: on a day when you’re meant to be looking and feeling good, why are you planning to […]
