I like the second one. But, seriously? Look like you're not trying too hard? She's trying to look hot for her husband!! The whole point is to look like she's trying to look hot FOR HIM! The greatest thing she can do for her DH is to let him know she gives a shit. The only exception to the show of effort would be the "I threw this on just to be clothed in public before I boink you" look. That could be achieved by a simple snug fitting jersey tank dress with no bra and commando. Like this:

My point was - no-one gets turned on by mutton dressed as lamb. That's not to say OP isn't a looker, but she's not in her 20s, either!


What?? She's only 37. If you think that people in their 30s can't still look hot, you're obviously young and naive.

White House Black Market has some nice dresses that would show off your great arms and shoulders:

Thank you for all of the suggestions so far! I'm loving the Lauren matte jersey dress, but am concerned by the reviews. I also love the alice + olivia dress, but it's out of my budget.

This ones a bit pricey but would be great.

This one seems plain, but guys dig that simple white cotton sundress crap. It's like the stylish dress version of the "white cotton panty" (cringe, but true).

OP here. I guess info about me would help!

37
5'6", 135 - in pretty good shape with great arms and shoulders. 34B

General style - not too trendy

Budget - less than $200

My husband goes for anything, but I don't know if I could rock the smoldering sexpot. I guess I'm a little too conservative for that!

Oh, and, most importantly: what gets your DH going?

Is he into girl next door sexy?
Feminine, flowery, sundress?
Fashionista sexy?
Or smoldering sexpot sexy?

We will be spending the night at a B&B afterward. Any suggestions?
