If you need a settlement from your wife to get a land rover, you don't make enough to get the 28 year old. Sure, she'll be really impressed when you use your land rover to drive her to chipotle on dates because that's all you can afford. |
| I like to dress nice for my husband - but I can't go too high on heels. that's ridiculous with kids. especially in walking city like DC. maybe for a night out, in a car, but not day to day. |
Sorry, I'll give you "crop top" and "flats," but no straight guy I have ever met has ever known anything about "high-waisted" clothing. No way. My bet is this is the anti-capri-pants lady again trying to bully folks into her idea of trendy fashion.

No, I'm sure you're not the only one, but those of us whose men DO notice what we're wearing and how it looks are not in the minority either. I can ask him "which shoe with this outfit?" for example and he gives me his input. He can tell me which dress is more flattering to my figure and why. Personally, I would not like it my husband could hardly dress himself. Mine knows how to put together an outfit and knows how it should fit. I married a man, and don't want to have to dress him like I do for my sons. |
How about you stop going bald and we'll wear more sexy clothes. Deal?

Unless the "gals on the hill" are carrying around Senators' kids while wearing their "sky high heels," I don't think this is true. |
I could ask him what shoe or if something is flattering but ... in the end, he's a dude. What does he know about women's clothes? He'd just say, "whatever's comfortable" or something. It sounds stressful to have to dress for my husband's opinion/approval. |
Stressful? Not at all. It feels supportive, not restrictive. Having a husband who understands fashion is the same as having a friend you can ask for their opinion. Though, to be honest, I have some girlfriends from whom I would not seek their opinion because they're not fashionable. Style and fashion isn't limited to women. Many women lack the style gene that society thinks only women can/should have. Nor is it for his approval. It feels supportive and fun to be married to your best friend. |
| High waisted shorts? So the 80's look is coming back? |
It's already back, look at Forever 21 and other teen-focused retailers. High waisted jeans and shorts as far as the eye can see. http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&Category=bottom_jeans&ProductID=2002247776&VariantID= |

Some people are just more comfortable in classic fashion that never goes out of style and isn't trendy.
Even younger professional women in their 20s need to avoid sacrificing fashion for cheap trendy looks that don't even belong on a high school teenager. |
| OP, how's your style? Are you dressing like the 20 year old guys out there? |
