Forever Young ~ b.tempt’d

February 4, 2014

The moment I saw this image of the b.tempt’d Sheer Desire bra and panty set, I had a flashback to my college days in Philadelphia. The bare wood floors and exposed brick walls against which the young model is sitting remind me of my first apartment shared with my boyfriend and some friends during our junior year at Penn. A renovated brownstone deep in the urban decay of what was then South Philly, we thought we were very modern and extremely mature as we embarked on the next phase of our lives, self-sufficient living. Simple architecture with a contemporary spin, this represented a new adventure and just a modicum of risk. I craved the freedom and the autonomy. I felt quite delighted by my decision and just a little bit naughty. It was 1970 and my parents would not approve. What they didn’t know would not hurt them, I decided. So I supplemented my board with a part-time job and never mentioned the male compatriots with whom I was rooming.

This bra (953279) and panty (943179) set already a basic in black and nude and delivering this spring in gorgeous color blooms will be available for fall in this ultra violet shade, a key trend for 2014. Already a success story, it easily meets the needs of young women on a budget with a taste for the artful. The light stretch molded cup fitting 32 – 38 and B – DD cups and the matching panties, S – XL, provide perfect support for an inaugural lifestyle. My hair is shorter now and I am past those heady years, but an independent attitude still commands my respect. No wonder the b.tempt’d brand has so much appeal at retail.
