i didn't wear a bra today

If you came here from Instagram or Facebook you already know what I am about to talk about. If not, well, I your about to find out. 
I didn't wear a bra today. For some of you ladies, that's no big deal. You are comfortable enough to wear those cute little tank tops or dresses that no matter what devil magic you have you just can't seem to hide your bra... so you go bra-less. Me, not so much. I am a 32DD, I am very small in stature (5'0) and all around a small human in general. 
This all started last week, I was at TJMaxx (sigh.. of course) & I was on the hunt for a Maxi Dress to wear now that it's warming up. What I found was this super cute yellow, floraley, strappy number & I fell in love. I tried it on and no matte which way I tried to stuff my bra (uncomfortably I might add) I couldn't hide it. But I friggen' loved that damn dress. So what did I do? Bought it. Duhh!
I got it home and it sat in my closet taunting me for a few days and today was finally the day; I had taken today off for the most part because my Memaw (mom's mom) was finishing her Chemo today & I was going to wear that damn dress. It was nice and sunny and warm today. That was it I made my mind up. Until I got in front of the mirror. Let me tell you it was nerve wracking. I was so self conscious. I didn't want anyone to be able to tell that I didn't have one on. I was nervous that my nipples would show. Or that my boobs weren't perky enough to "get away" with going without a bra.
I feel like there is a level of comfort a bra gives me even though they are uncomfortable as hell! But its a barrier between me and my insecurities. With a bra, my boobs look great, without I feel that they are just kind of blah. So I am challenging myself to buy more things that I can't wear a bra with and IMMEDIATELY take the tags off so I can't return it and go bra-less. I will tell you as the day went on I forgot that I didn't have one on, until it was time to change into my P.J's and it was one less article of clothing to take of. I was like "Oh! Hey there girls!" I wish I was more confident when it came to fashion to that extent. I want to get to a point where I can put anything on and love myself in it and feel great. So you may hear more about this little challenge I've given myself over the next few months as I make myself face this head on.
