It’s officially sweatshirt season where I live, which means I care even less than usual about making sure I’m wearing the “right” bra and more than ever about wearing what’s comfortable. While I’ve shared a few of my fave choices for comfy underwear on TLA, I’ve never really shared my favorite bras.
