Push Up...

Before you think this is yet another blog post about sports, be it swimming, cycling, running or wakeboarding, stop your thoughts. This is about fashion. Yes, the laziest woman probably alive is going to discuss fashion on her blogpost. But it's more about a fashion invention : the pushup bra. According to an article in The New Paper for 7th April 2008 which is a spinoff of a survey done by Telegraph UK, the pushup bra ranks as the greatest fashion invention ever, ahead of stilettos, g-strings, and the LBD (little black dress, duh?).

Somehow, i find myself agreeing to the list of fashion inventions, at least for most of it. The bikini and classic white shirt didn't get a mention in that list of top 20, instead hot pants got in. Like huh? Yes, repeat after me. HUH? Hot pants? Seriously, if you don't have legs and the body of the supermodels, and whales need not apply, Hot pants is left for the few selected blessed individuals. I personally would never be seen in hot pants. Shorts are shorts, hot pants barely cover those ass cheeks.

What do we have in our closet that we deem as the greatest fashion inventions, or the commonly known word for it : Must-haves? Everyone is different. Some swear by their black pants, other swear by their baggy jeans, while others would frown at the mere sight of women walking down in oversized shirts and jeans two sizes too big.

With that in mind, i list my 20 greatest fashion invention... and must haves :

1. Pushup bra (with or without straps, they're a must have).
2. g-string. VPL is a no go
3. running shoes... which can be a fashion sneaker too.
   
4. ankle socks... i don't run with longer socks, cos i looked dorky. I need them with my sneakers too.
5. running tights... i discovered them and they are godsend, trust me! doubles up as tights under tunic and tent dresses.
6. White tank tops, preferably wifebeaters. It screams street cred !
7. Shorts / Berms. They are my weekend staple.
   
8. Mini-skirt. So they say, if you got it, flaunt it baby. Enough said!
9. That black dress. As long as they compliment your figure, you have got it!
10. Skinny jeans. They're the bootcutjeans of the 08. Slims you down, and great with heels or ballet pumps. You can jazz it up and take it down...
    
11. Bootcut jeans. Classic!
12. White shirt. How can we not have this other classic
13. Ballet pumps. Everyone should have at least a pair
14. Black killer stilletos. Nothing's sexier than them that screams power
15. IT bag. Number one accessory !
16. A jacket. It helps jazz up an outfit.
    
17. Flip flops. How can anyone not own a pair?
18. A handphone. Believe it or not? your cell phone or that blackberry is a fashion accessory
19. Your belt. It can be a good accessory which is functional
20. Lipstick / Lip balm / Lip gloss. Pucker up for that kiss...
    

Oh yes,i got to mention number 21 too. A great arm candy who never fails to make you laugh!
