I'm trying to spruce up my wardrobe but there's one big problem I keep running into ... All these cute summer tops have either thin straps or racer backs. I'm a D cup, so going w/o a bra is not an option, so how do you wear these cute tops w/o bra straps showing?
ETA: I'm horrible at styling myself, so any help to get me into fresh outfits is greatly appreciated

I have this thing that you slide onto your bra straps in the back and it turns any bra into a racer back! I love it!

Strap Perfect for racer backs! I use them all the time! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001OR9PUO/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_awdm_Fz9Jtb0R7BVWD

So...
there are clear straps and then there is Victorias Secret's convertible bra. That is a bra with the straps on the lower back! I used it once and it was awesome. That was back when it fit me;)
and then for racerbacks, I use these clips:
They basically make the bra straps racer-back too.
Also, they sell racer-back bras.
That's all I know to do with tanks:) Hope that helps some.

Im a DD/E and I just wear bras that I can convert the straps in the back.

You could also wear a body suit style bra... One of those strapless bustier things under a spaghetti strap shirt/dress. It would give more support than a strapless bra.

I'm a DD/E and I love the racerback and convertible bras at VS (convertible meaning they can be strapless OR you can change the straps a few ways including criss-cross for racer-backs). I feel like they give me good support and lift.

I have a racerback bra but i also like the little convertible clips. I'm a true full DD so I cant fit into bras at victoria's secret
For the thin straps, i would rather see a peek of a regular bra strap than those clear bra straps.

I wear a bra with convertible straps-- but at least mine isn't as comfortable so I do tend to limit the number of things in my wardrobe that require them. I do wear a strapless with anything with super thin straps but again I try to limit that situation.

Big no to the clear bra straps, you aren't fooling anyone.
I would get a true racer back bra.

I use a clip to keep my regular straps together. I personally loathe strapless bras because they just look so awkward under anything other than a strapless top/dress, and even then it can be touch and go!
@hotchildinthecity: I agree - I really (really) don't like the clear bra straps!

@MsLipGloss: yeah clear bra straps are 10x more tacky than seeing regular bra straps.

I'm a DD/E too, and I just keep wearing my bra w/ thin straps; just make sure you have bras with thin straps too. I'd wear my racerback sports bra for racerback tops.
