I keep telling my husband that eventually I will have a wardrobe that will be finished and I will not need new things. I know he does not believe that for a minute and neither do I. Finally he has stopped asking if the newest trench is actually a raincoat. I always answer- (well sort of). His idea of a raincoat is goretex. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband/page/2#post-184619 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 21:29:53 +0000 Debbie 184619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a black dress but not a black and white one. I bought Angie's pick for over leggings or skinnies. I did too well with this sale on line. I'm going to try and hit the store this evening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband/page/2#post-184559 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 18:27:13 +0000 Sarah 184559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bryan plays dumb, but he knows a lot more than I give him credit for. He has great taste too.<br /> The only things he doesn't care for are:<br /> 1. More black (only because I told him I have too much)<br /> 2. Leggings. He can't get this trend at all, which is fine with me.<br /> Like Taylor's hubby, Bryan can't complain because he knew what he was getting into. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband/page/2#post-184555 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 18:24:23 +0000 April 184555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So how did you do, Debbie? Did you find the ultimate black and white dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband/page/2#post-184359 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 03:18:42 +0000 Jenava 184359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha...it's funny to hear what everyone's husband's say about their style! I have to be careful when asking his opinion because he has some odd prejudices; he thinks wearing a belt outside of belt loops (over a cardigan, for instance) is very strange. I did get him to admit once that my belted blouse was more flattering then unbelted, but it was VERY begrudging! Usually he tries to see what I like about an outfit, though. Today I brought home harem pants and he actually admitted that they were cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband/page/2#post-184331 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 02:18:16 +0000 Katja 184331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's so funny! I was leafing through the sale rack at Macy's today, saying over and over to myself "I already have enough black and white dresses...I already have enough black and white dresses...."</p> <p>So I bought a black and white skirt.</p> <p>To replace a black and white skirt that is seriously too big to wear anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband/page/2#post-184306 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 00:56:55 +0000 Kristine 184306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband makes offhanded comments like that too sometimes. I try to listen because there's usually a kernel of truth in there. Usually, but not always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband/page/2#post-184281 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 22:19:48 +0000 shell 184281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, that's cute! My husband doesn't really pay attention to the specifics of my clothes, but he is very good about telling me I look beautiful! Hehe, I guess it helps that I walk into the room after getting dressed and strike a pose with a "what do you think?" look on my face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband#post-184261 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 20:41:06 +0000 Rosie 184261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, men! </p> <p>Katiepea, I love that plan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband#post-184258 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 20:32:08 +0000 Melissa 184258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My partner said something the other night that caused a sort of hilarious discussion about the gender divide when talking about clothes.</p> <p>I was trying on some pants I'd ordered, and it turned out that they had been cut out wrong (one leg a different size than the other) and so fit in a really wonky way. So when I showed them to him, he said something like "Oh, that is just wrong. See, the fabric there is bunched up and it's...bad. It looks really bad."</p> <p>I was walking around in the pants for a few minutes, and every time I went past, he'd reiterate what he'd said. Eventually, I got a little cranky, and said "Ok. Message received, you can stop saying that now."</p> <p>After I'd cooled down, we talked about it, and I tried to explain to him that even though logically, I know that he was just saying the pants were literally wrong, it still felt a little bit like criticism of me. He was totally baffled by this concept--"Wait, you are not the same thing as your pants. How can something I say about your pants make you feel bad? They're pants! And they're wrong! You are great!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband#post-184251 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 20:17:50 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 184251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mr Londonkiwi could go Mr Roseandjoan polo shirt to polo shirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband#post-184194 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 18:18:34 +0000 RoseandJoan 184194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah but you look so good in black and white, my hubby has 10 Fred Perry polo tops, not that I'm counting;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband#post-184120 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 15:49:42 +0000 lynne 184120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband has said " don't you already have a pair of black shoes?". Now it's just a joke. And when I wear something he likes or doesn't remember he'll ask "Is that new?" (as a joke) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband#post-184108 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 15:30:27 +0000 Michelle 184108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great stories all around! Mac, your bf and Corey could do lunch over the leggings look, though he has accepted them on the basis that he likes the one and only tunic I own. :)<br /> My boyfriend actually has developed stronger views over time, which I quite enjoy. I even give YLF partial credit for the evolution of his fashion eye. He frequently comments on individual items of clothing (I like that top, that's a good colour on you, that necklace is too much for my taste etc), but now he's developed a keen awareness of when other people look bad. I was recently treated to a very enjoyable rant on how some of his coworkers dress, both on the positive and negative ends of the spectrum. Corey's problem is that he has a terrible memory for my clothing, so if he spotted something I already own on a store rack, he may not immediately recognize it as something he's seen in my wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband#post-184100 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 15:06:33 +0000 Carole 184100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Husbands! I actually think it's a compliment that he notices what you are wearing! My husband will just say, is that another new (fill in the blank)? And I have to come up with some great reason why I had to have it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband#post-184097 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 15:01:38 +0000 Debbie 184097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's everyone.<br /> Lisa I know my husband feels the same about shoes!<br /> Khris love the hobby will have to use that.<br /> KatiePea-Love it. Will definitely keep that in mind.<br /> Joy-My husband does that too.<br /> Scarlet-I actually have that dress on today. Yes I kept it because he liked it.<br /> Mac that is funny about the leggings. </p> <p>I think since he retired he is paying a little bit more attention to things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband#post-184088 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 14:48:32 +0000 MNsara 184088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh -- hobby! I like that one - thanks, Khris!</p> <p>Can you use that one, debbiek? </p> <p>I know some ladies who spend inordinate amounts of money on other hobbies. So, if you are not already doing that, then this could be your 'hobby' </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband#post-184063 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 14:14:53 +0000 Beth 184063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! My husband's first response to my mention of NAS was a moan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband#post-184056 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 14:03:59 +0000 chewyspaghetti 184056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At least you know he is looking at you!<br /> My husband famous comment when I want to buy something is to ask if this item (doesn't matter what it is) is something that I can wear with everything, in every season, for the rest of my life. He doesn't get fashion. i finally had to tell him that this is my hobby. I think that actually helped. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband#post-184052 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 13:58:30 +0000 Lisa 184052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The look on my hubby's face when I walked through the door last night with 3 bags from by NAS preseason sale purchase--when I was just going to the mall to do a return--said it all. And he still doesn't understand why I don't use just one bag and own only two pairs of shoes, a black and a brown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband#post-184038 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 13:37:13 +0000 Sihaya 184038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very funny. Mine comments from time to time but of course not when I want him to! The last comment he made (we just installed a brand new closet with a new shoe storage system) was that if I were to buy another pair of shoes, I would have to get rid of one that I already had. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband#post-184036 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 13:35:05 +0000 Anonymous 184036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suspect that your husband likes you in color. Husbands may be hesitant to express an opinion on our clothing for fear of saying the wrong thing. My husband seldom comments on my clothing but will say something to me about something someone else is wearing. He dislikes frumpy length frocks and capris or leggings worn as pants. He likes that I'm wearing more dresses but doesn't understand surrendering the waist...probably having flashbacks of dumpy maternity clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband#post-184018 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 12:46:35 +0000 Debora 184018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Six? That's all??? Tell him the other Debbie says that's not nearly enough!</p> <p>I'm kidding, of course! Your husband sounds adorable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband#post-183996 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 09:13:56 +0000 Louise 183996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Katipea I like your thinking! x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband#post-183980 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 07:34:08 +0000 Katiepea 183980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tee-hee! </p> <p>If you succumb, maybe you could say that it isn't black and white, rather it is an atramentous and pearl dress. In fact, you don't have six black and white dresses, I'd vouch they are all different colours - the evidence follows: </p> <p>1) coal and chalk</p> <p>2) ebony and snow</p> <p>3) noir and blanc (why didn't I think of this first?)</p> <p>4) midnight and frost</p> <p>5) onyx and quartz</p> <p>Oh, and of course.....</p> <p>6) black and white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband#post-183962 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 06:34:43 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 183962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are definitely items of clothing that my husband prefers to others (and vice-versa). What he is not good at is picking up the relivent size in clothes for me. Sweet as it is that he thinks that I could fit into a size UK10 I do have to wonder about his spacial awareness!</p> <p>If you take make-up out of the equation, he has just as many products as I do and probably more clothes, so he can't complain about anything </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband#post-183958 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 06:02:54 +0000 Anonymous 183958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like he's paying attention Debbie.<br /> My hubby claims he doesn't understand a thing about this stuff and has no opinions. Sometimes expressions slip out though, both good and not so good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband#post-183955 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 05:55:15 +0000 Scarlet 183955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debbie, maybe I am mixed up, but didn't you post a very colorful print dress that your husband said he loved? Maybe he just loves to see you in colorful dresses. </p> <p>My friend's husband was somehow convinced that I was an influence on her when she started taking more than 5 minutes to leave the house and arrays of face and hair products started turning up in their bathroom. He was like, I wish she would get ready faster but can't you tell her to wear some dresses? She looks so great in them. This was all said in front of my friend in a friendly way, but my point is, he is not the kind of guy who would appear to take a lot of note of appearance or have strong preferences, but I think a lot of men have certain preferences but find it unmanly or something to purport to notice? I don't know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband#post-183938 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 04:57:08 +0000 taylor 183938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Mac, that is hysterical.<br /> My husband just shakes his head with each new purchase...:) he knows better...he knew what he was getting into:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comment-from-my-husband#post-183927 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 04:45:18 +0000 MNsara 183927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Mac - my husband recently commented on my dress/legging outfit by asking if I couldn't make up my mind between wearing a dress and wearing shorts!!! (I suppose my knee-length leggings looked like bike shorts to him) </p> <p>I held my tongue though I felt like retorting - when was the last time you saw me wearing bike shorts around town? Like leggings as pants? Never!! </p>
