What to do with old bras?

IMG_0223-2

 A few years ago I bought a great looking bra from Victoria Secret. Two and a half years later it started showing signs of an 'old' bra. I mean, I wore this bra pretty often and the more I washed it the less it would fit. Instead of shrinking it would expand. What I didn't realize was that the band on the bra was too loose because of it's age. I was really disappointed because it was my favorite bra! 
You know that feeling when you love something so much and you simply can't hold on to it anymore? Well.. that was the feeling I had when I opened that bin and just dumped the bra out! Thankfully, I don't have to feel that way anymore. 

We all know the saying "certain things get better with age" but bras are not one of them! 
Old bras can be uncomfortable with wire sticking out and loose bands. These are problems we all experience with old bras... and what do we do when this happens? We throw them out! 
Today I'll be sharing with you an incredible way to earn money towards a new bra for those old useless bras that belong in the garbage.

Town Shop is offering its costumers $10 off each bra they trade in towards the purchase of a new one.  
 Did you know over 80% of women wear an incorrect sized bra! Town Shop has professionals on site who help women find their perfect size every day.

Town Shop is a New York landmark. Open and serving the city since 1888, it sells top name brands and gives the customer something they cannot receive online: a real fitting. Shopping at Town Shop keeps women from being an 80%er! (or we can say “shopping at Town Shop puts women into the 20% club!)

“Bucks for Bras" 
Bring one old bra to Town Shop and receive $10 towards a new bra.
The offer is available up to 5 old bras for the purchase of 5 new bras.

    Totally entering the give away and looking for my old bras to take with me to the store! Great quality merchandise, and I love that I can save some money using my old ill-fitting bras. A good bra can make or break an outfit!

    I feel your pain. I'm also not a fan of the "old bra" syndrome.

    I love the idea of trading in old bras for new ones! It is hard to fork out the price for a nice bra, and this would help!
