After losing some weight last year,I went to SOMA for a fitting. They clearly just didn't have what I needed in stock, but still wanted to make a sale. So she had me try on one that really wasn't quite right, and she said, "Well, that's not too bad." I said (nicely), "Well for $64 a bra, I think I'd rather do better than 'not too bad'."
I politely thanked her for her time and went to Cacique (the lingerie store attached to Lane Bryant). I'm a 38 DDD and their Balconette line nails it for me. My advice in re: bras is that even if you're busty, a little padding smooths things out and adds support. I'm glad I got over thinking I didn't need any padding.
That said, Wacoal makes amazing bras, and when I'm a little thinner, they're my go-to.
As far as shoes, the ones I spend money on are my Birkenstocks. They're not for everybody, but I love them.
