I've heard people say "Women don't get dressed up for men, they get dressed up for each other". Do you think that's true?
I wore these "boyfriend" jeans to a flower arranging party with my girlfriends (more on that beautiful event later). Paired with a frilly peplum top and strappy heels, I thought it was the good way to dress up and yet still be casual.
However, when I showed my husband my outfit, the conversation went something like this...
Husband: Are those new jeans?
Me: Yeah, Zara Sale, you likey?
Husband: Eh, they're not my favorite pair you own...
Me: Why cause they're cropped? (Men typically hate cropped pants on women. The word "high-water" comes to mind.)
Husband: No, your butt looks better in your other jeans... (then he quickly adds...) but you still look great!
Me: (Sure...)
Obviously, I wore this outfit anyway. Why? Because I liked it. I felt good in it. These jeans are really comfortable and relaxed (no jumping up and down to put them on required) - everything my mood wanted that day. Of course, there are many times when I do dress for my husband (he loves me in white), but for the most part, I dress for myself.
Who do you get dressed up for?
Love your top! Great post.

I dress for myself. I never get hit on when I'm out. maybe it's because I wear what I want like the loudest prints I have no idea haha. But I think I dress for myself and my friends since most of us are into our clothes and being creative.
ReplyDeleteI love you and your loud prints! xx
DeleteI dress up for myself, as well. But that quote does ring true. Their are a lot of ladies out there that dress up for other ladies just to get their approval or elicit some jealously. It is what it is.
ReplyDeleteWhat I do know is that I want your bag and that champagne bottle. Immediately.
