During our Try It Team meeting, I saw a small pink sache with ribbon on the table.  It was just a small item, that I'm certain had gone unnoticed by other team members.  I picked it up and saw what looked like a beaded necklace, but it was two straps with hooks on both ends. The tag read "Straptini: Manhattan"   I wasn't quite sure what it was designed to do.  So when  I heard "it's a bra strap" I snagged the pouch and made my claim.

I own a Victoria's Secret bra with interchangable straps.  I spent quite a furtune on that bra just to get the see-thru straps, and the extra "umph" in size, LOL. However over the last year, the straps had yellowed.  Just the night before our Try It meeting, I had removed the straps and figured I would need to purchase more but really didn't want to go w/ the see-thru since it yellowed with time.  So my expensive bra was going to lie around the drawer while I figured it out.

The moment I walked in my door after claiming the Straptini's, I pulled them out and attached them to my bra.   They were BEAUTIFUL!  I FELT beautiful!   It was transforming in looks and emotions.    I'm a "stay at home mom" with very little to dress up my life without spending some effort on it.   But with the quick switch of straps, even my ordinary tank tops became elegant.

The straps are hand strung glass beads and metal in decorative fashion.  My particular strap, The Manhattan, is a combonation of clear glass beads, black glass beads and some decrative metal squares places on each side of the strap.   I've included a photo of the Manhattan straps.  Straptinis come in 16 styles and colors.   Each one of them show an essence of elegance in design.

I have been wearing my straps almost everyday since getting them.  I now look for the shirts that will show off the straps.   For me, wearing them is transforming.  They are comfortable to wear and do not tend to fall off the shoulders.   They come in sizes small, medium and large.  You may view the full line at  http://www.strapteaze.com/.  

The cost for the Straptini runs from $38-42/pr.   This is a costly price for bra straps, however, every woman should own at least one pair.    Every woman needs to feel elegant,  and the Straptini allows this with the most common day tank top or a formal strapless gown.

A huge THUMBS UP from this woman.

I tried to load the photo directly into the post, but I couldn't make it work.  So photo is in photo section for our group.
