From Fancy Dress to Oh La La!

In The Foundations of Love, Isabel Cartwright, the novel’s leading lady, is on the cusp of turning fifty. As she nears this milestone, the weight of past burdens begins to lift, giving her the freedom to start anew. Isabel, determined to embrace the next phase of her life, sets out on a quest for love. However, balancing the demands of running the family business and finalizing her divorce makes the journey more challenging. But a chance conversation sparks a fresh outlook on life, and Isabel is ready for her transformation.

With the help of her cousin Sarah, Isabel undergoes a fashion makeover, shedding her conservative businesswoman look for a sexier, more seductive style. Ready to reignite passion and embrace love, she steps into her new role with confidence and flair.

This got me thinking…

Have you ever felt the urge to spice things up with sensual lingerie or playful costumes? I certainly have! Only recently did I start exploring this side of myself, and let me tell you, it’s been a game-changer.

Some partners might prefer simplicity—naked and natural—but when you meet someone who loves the idea of dressing up, it can be intoxicating. Think about it: When you find an outfit, whether it’s a dress that hugs your curves or a pair of jeans that makes you feel unstoppable, you immediately feel more confident. You stop fixating on flaws and instead, see someone radiant in the mirror.

The same goes for lingerie. Slip into a silky Basque, complete with stockings and suspenders, and suddenly, you’re seeing yourself as a total goddess. Not only do you feel empowered, but your confidence (and libido) skyrocket. Don’t believe me? Give it a try!

There are endless options to explore when it comes to lingerie, designed to flatter all shapes and sizes. If you’re a little shy about showing too much skin, accessible lingerie like crotchless panties or peek-a-boo bras, paired with a sheer negligee, might be just what you need. Throw on some stockings and suspenders, and you’ll feel sexy, alluring, and confident.

Let’s talk about role-playing. Dressing up as a sultry French maid or a playful nurse might seem a bit silly at first, but it can add an exciting twist to your bedroom adventures. And guess what? It doesn’t have to be just you dressing up. Why not suggest that your partner join in on the fun? I haven’t yet convinced a partner to give it a try, but if I could, I already know which outfit I’d pick—Thor from The Avengers would be a showstopper!

So, do you already have a favourite bedroom costume? What makes you feel confident and sexy? Share your thoughts and let’s keep this conversation going!

Love and hugs
