Fashion Tuesday - That's what HE said

Eighteen years. That's 216 months, 6,570 days, and approximately 568,036,800 seconds. 

Yesterday I celebrated 18 years of marriage. 
THAT is a long time to live with another person. 

My man has watched my fashion sense evolve, including three years worth of maternity clothes {{shudder}}. 


For today's post I thought I would ask him what he likes to see me wear.  Of course he began with see through t-shirts and certain undergarments....such a guy....but I reminded him, very specifically (sometimes you need to spell things out to those of the opposite sex) what I was asking for. Clothes for OUTSIDE of the home. Geesh!

Interestingly enough, his number one choice for me are dresses. Specifically? He loves my long boho maxi dresses. His opinion? They are trendy and feminine and leave enough to the imagination to make them sexy. I'm loving this one by Gypsy 05 and Bluefly.com. I tried to locate a photo of me in his favorite dress of mine...and I did find this one. Taken in Asheville last year at the TypeAParent conference.



I asked him about shoes. He gave a decided NO to platforms and leopard prints and flip flops. But this man does love a nice heel, even though that makes me taller than him! 


In desperation a few weeks ago...I called on him to shop for me. He was out running errands, I was packing with a flight to catch in a couple hours and NO strappy black heels to be found! I begged him to swing in the nearest store and see what he could find. These were his choice...and I love them! Proving great style can come from some of the least likely places. Go team Meijer!


Jeans or no jeans? 
I am TOTALLY a jeans kinda girl so I was a little concerned to hear his opinion on this topic. He likes jeans, nice fitting jeans. Of course that will be different for everyone. My advice? Know your body type. He likes to see my denim paired with something flirty and feminine. Something girly. Something like this cute limeade tank from Francesca's Collection.


Bottom line? Not everything we THINK the opposite sex is loving is necessarily a true fact. They are a bit more refined then we give them credit for. {smile}

Thank you darlin' for your input today. And thank you for 18 years. It's been a wild and crazy ride...I can hardly imagine what the next 18 will look like? Probably less skinny jeans and more stretch wear! Now, will you please take me out on a date, I know exactly what to wear!

What does your man like to see you in? They are all so very different, aren't they? Silly boys!

  1. Love this post! I love the maxi dress and hubby's reason for picking it. My man likes the running legs to show so he goes for a short dress. Heels bother my barefoot running feet but would be his choice. I think my fit jeans we can both agree on.

  2. Happy Anniversary! This is a great post. It made me ask my husband the same thing. He said he can't narrow it down to one thing or style. Even though he couldn't give specifics it made me reflect on the types of clothes he gives me the most compliments on; one of which is workout gear! Too funny. Thanks for making think about this.
