If he does notice, he asks if "the ladies" (meaning YLF) liked it.

I haven't got any about the semi tuck, but my midi full skirt got the poison eye from my DH. I think he will adjust, though, and I certainly respect his opinions. He's the kind of modern classic dresser who only buys great quality in small quantities, looks good always and wears everything he owns to shreds. Just what I'd like to be myself!

ETA: I think it's some weird preppy male fashion rule.

I told him it was fashionable and I liked it, so it wasn't up for critique anymore. I also got a double take today with the stripes on stripes, but for the most part, he doesn't give much negative commentary.

Not sure if he noticed it, really. Probably thought I wanted to show off my belts. I never tell him I do something because it's in, because he thinks that is so totally not a reason to do anything. I just say I like it... if he hates it enough, I don't wear it around him but continue on my merry way when alone.

DH doesn't like the rolled up jeans look!  Well we Indians roll up pants and jeans only when we are doing heavy manual work or to avoid the muck on the streets or to wade through rain water :D  So I can understand where he is coming from!

It won't at that moment have anything to do with me, and it seems to work.

Here is something I posted recently on this topic "A funny thing happened one time recently when I tried the semi-tuck. I was walking into church and DH was walking the other way and he just pulled it out with no warning. He thought I'd just got it caught up. Several times later that day I heard him checking or recounting with amazement that 'I'd actually meant it to look that way?"

All I had to say was "this is in right now" and he was good with it. Hey, maybe I should try that with other things, like "Men doing the dishes - that's in right now," or "Here take this vacuum cleaner, that's in right now!" Well, it's worth a try, right? carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-say-to-your-husbandso#post-1104804 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 00:35:48 +0000 carter 1104804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm cracking up! These are great. I guess I forget that I've had this 6 week "crash course", and he's just trying to catch up. Sticking with the semi-tuck! Someday I'll venture on to booties and then shooties. I'll have to start the education way prior to the debut next time;-) Diana on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-say-to-your-husbandso#post-1104801 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 00:27:35 +0000 Diana 1104801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Haha, I think I showed mine the j crew catalog. And then there was the time he went around with an accidental half tuck all day, and when he finally realized he was aghast, not at the half tuck but at the fact that he tucked the wrong side! I guess I'm rubbing off on him...

And then one day he said, "You  know, I think I can see why you like that way of wearing your tops."  This is when I raised my eyebrow.   ;)  "Oh?" I said. "What would that be?"  "Well," says he. "It's kind of relaxed...but not too relaxed. And it gives you a nice...curve." Colour me astonished! So then I told him that it's just as magical for curvier women (I'm a bit rectangular.) He nodded along to this in full agreement.  As Angie so aptly puts it, sometimes the eye just needs time to adjust. :)
