AXOLiz, your post made me stop and go 'whoa'! It never occurred to me that there were guys out there who would think that a woman's "maintenance" is a sign that she's looking to hook up. I think any guy who would think that is a jerk, quite frankly! I mean, what would be pleasing to someone in that mindset; a woman who hadn't showered for a week, let all her body hair grow, wore krispy-krunchy underpants and didn't believe in deodorant? Ugh!
As for undergarments...I have a thing that mine have to match and that's all there is to it. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so face it, I don't really have the opportunity to buy a lot of dress-up-type clothing and one can only own so many Juicy Couture hoodies and pants. So I like to spend money on pretty underthings, mostly LaPerla or sometimes VS. So even when I'm just hanging around the house or doing errands I still feel pretty even though I'm wearing super casual clothing
