that would be so handy to have someone w/that kind of clothing sense. we have that decorating issue too! huh-boy…. my hubs is much more patient on projects, attention to details and all that but he’s from alaska (not known for its fashion!) so i’m not taking much fashion advice. making things, building things, maybe even cooking things, YES.

My late-husband did a beautiful counted cross-stitch once when I was really into it. His looked better than mine, ha!
I do take my “now” husband’s opinion into account most of the time. This is his first marriage, only children (2 daughters from my first marriage, 10 & 12); he was 46 when we married.
This man has an EYE for women/girl fashion. Odd, but it saves me time while shopping. He can walk through a store, grab several garments, send me (or one of the daughters) to the dressing room and we leave the store with a great outfit. Works for me, I hate shopping.
We’ve had to compromise on home decor. He likes metal and glass, not exactly child-friendly but I’m glad we don’t have worse issues

If I wanted my husband's fashion advice, I would have married a gay man. .-= Marinka´s last blog ..Fake My Blog! =-.

Bossy would never seek approval from her husband in this way. Now, seeking the thumbs up from her teenage daughter is another story…

Oh I agree with you, Wendy! I never ask my husband for fashion advice because his idea of fashion is based off of the TV series Miami Vice. One time he came home from a conference in Austin and was certain that I would look good in a t-shirt tied at the corner and a bandana around my neck. I vetoed it immediately because I have never worn said attire and would never do it since I don't work in a bar. And! When we moved in together, I sent many ugly, Cosby sweaters (that he wore in a non-ironic way) to Goodwill. .-= kirida´s last blog ..a spring baby =-.

I rely on my husband’s opinion because after all, he knows my body better than anyone else! Besides, now that I’m married, I’m dressing to impress only one man now, so I mights as well make sure he likes what he sees.
That being said, I also have a strong sense of myself and my own fashion, and do on occasion tell him he’s full of shit. He tends to be afraid of anything super trendy, so I do sometime wear things despite his dislike of it. After all, I have to feel confident in myself, regardless of what he thinks. But at the same time, he’s seen me in everything in my wardrobe at every stage of dressiness, and really knows what looks good on me. So of course I’d take his opinion!
(PS, yes, we do hold hands at home. So do my parents.)
