Hiding Bra Straps

Apparently there is a thing for sale called the Strap Perfect [LINK - http://www.walmart.com/ip/As-Seen-on-TV-Strap-Perfect/14248106]. For 10 bucks you get a few loops of plastic in black, white and "nude" - a "color" I think should be renamed "white people skin."  The product basically pulls your bra straps into the middle of your back so they don't stick out under your clothes. Also, it supposedly gives you more cleavage - "a full cup size instantly!"

Now, it's not that this product is completely stupid or that $10 is so much to pay, but I just can't bring myself to purchase plastic for this purpose at this price.  Also, it's something that you never think you need until you actually need it.  And, well...just the other day, I actually needed it.

I was wearing a white racerback shirt and a white bra (tip: "nude" is actually a better bra color choice when wearing a white shirt because it doesn't give you such a bra outline).  Not only were my bra straps showing, but the white bra was not brand new and the straps looked kinda dingy.

First, I grabbed a hair tie and tried to use it to tie my straps together behind my back, but the knot kept slipping out. Then, I grabbed a rubber band, cut it so that I had a rubber string and used that to tie my straps together.  It worked great! At the end of the day I just cut the rubber band and took off the bra. Triumph!
