[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a big range between sweats all the time and hooker outfits. Does he just want you to wear a dress or skirt or a fitted top once in a while, maybe look a little nicer for certain occasions? [/quote]

After a bunch of my prompting, he used the word "dowdy" for how I dress. He said it shows in how I dress that I come from a conservative family and was not the black sheep of the family. When I asked if he could give me an example from a celebrity he said Riley Keogh's character Christine in a show I've never heard of. He said I have her body and hair but a better face. I asked if he thinks Jennifer Garner is sexy and he paused and then said no, she's pretty and dresses like the 50 yr old mom that she is. I am going to try the white t-shirt thing and the black mock turtleneck dress someone linked from Reformation.

I'm not offended and he's not controlling. Probably a big part of the problem is that when I go clothing shopping it's usually with my mom when visiting back home. Some of my clothes are actually hers. [/quote]

Was it a problem before he said anything? Were you unhappy with the way you dress/look? Did you ask his opinion, or did he offer it unsolicited?[/quote]

It wasn't a problem exactly. But I haven't been thrilled with how I dress for a few years, and just am not sure how to change. It's okay - it's always appropriate for the occasion. But maybe I'm wearing stuff my mom would also wear and she's a middle aged midwestern mom who loves Kohl's. I think it was me asking a vague question like "does this look good?" when we were heading off on a date, and him saying yes but what if I dressed a little sexier? Then I've brought it up a couple more times since he said that and more has come out. [/quote]
