Spicy Friday!

I've been thinking, since the babies I have these nasty stretch marks and feel pretty unsexy. What is your favorite way to make yourself feel sexy?

Re: Spicy Friday!

  • Oh MO, I feel your pain with the whole stretch mark thing.  I have a road map with twin skin and it sucks.  As I told you though, If I lose my weight and keep it off, DH is going to get me a tummy tuck!  Woot.

    Sexy huh?  I guess I would have to say when DH and I go out dancing and we start bumping and grinding.  Is it bad that I need clothes on to feel sexy now? Indifferent

  • Um, wine?  Ha. 

    Derek's pretty darned good at complimenting me when I'm naked, so that helps.  A good workout making my muscles all swollen and buff looking usually helps too!

    We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

  • I'll go with the cliche lingerie.  I'll put on something that I know DH loves on me so it makes me feel good.

  • When I can stand in front of the mirror naked and take a moment to compliment something about myself... That and the fact that DH gets turned on by just looking at me sometimes. That makes me feel pretty good!
  • I usually throw on something that DH likes. When his eyes light up like a little kid at Christmas, then I know I look good and feel sexy. I hate that I feel sexy based on what someone else thinks, but oh well.

  • I go for a nice outfit that I know shows off my curves. Knowing that H loves my body is a boost, too, and helps keep the sexy feeling around.
  • Two things: 

    *  I believe every woman should own a fantastic push-up bra.  

    *  I also believe my stretch marks are badges of honor.  I earned them with blood, sweat and tears, and I'm not ashamed of them.

  • I have a shirt that gives me amazing cleavage that Kyle loves (and trust me cleavage is not always easy to come by when you're an A cup). That and some cute jeans or a skirt and knee high boots.

    Oh I will NEVER forget!  That was the best.  I love me some booty shake!  ha ha

  • sexy eh?... I actually feel more sexy with a full outfit on... but something dressed up more than every day (but could still be jeans), but usually anything with high heels always help (this could be bc I generally live in flats)

    also, like raynes mentioned.... alcohol helps. a lot.

  • A great dress with heels, I've been told I have a good walk for such things so it makes me feel good. I've also been feeling a lot better about the path I'm on since hitting the gym regularly. :)

  • I've had stretch marks for as long as I can remember, I kind of see them as a fact of life.

    DH is good about complimenting me, so that helps. But just for me, it's usually when we get dressed up really nice and go out for one of his work events. I feel like he's really proud to be scene with me.

    And alcohol always helps.

    all of this, especially a glass of red wine. :)  

    I think just feeling put together makes me feel most confident, which leads to feeling sexy.

  • My LaPerla bra = amazing.
  • I totally have stretchmarks and have for years, but I still feel sexy a lot. if I put on a pair of lacy boy shorts and knee high socks, Sean just about melts. he's always complimenting me, so that helps a ton too!

  • My tried and true was always lingerie. DH loves it and it makes me feel great.

  • I don't really have anything :( I feel sexy if I feel like husb can't keep his hands off me, but I need to work on feeling sexy on my own.

  • I wanted to post this morning but, I was tired and cranky and couldn't think of anything. 

    For me, lingerie always makes me feel sexy. When I am put together I feel sexy. Also, when I am wearing one of Ben's button down shirts with lace panties.

  • I always sleep in boy shorts and a tank top, and that combination makes me feel sexier than lingerie.  While I like lingerie, sometimes I think it feels a little forced with my personality, and the boy shorts/tank top is so natural.

    Now jumping domestically.

    Well that was a crazy couple of years.

  • There's a couple things I do to get myself feeling sexified. First off being freshly waxed! It's hard for me to feel sexy when I'm sporting outta control leg hair and untamed girly parts. I also feel super sexy in heels. You'd think at 5'9" I wouldn't want to wear them but nothing makes me feel hotter than walking around in 4 inch stilettos, especially if I'm not wearing anything else but a bra and underwear (that really makes DH go crazy) Dancing is the other thing, preferably in a class not just in a club somewhere. I've been dancing for years but just recently enrolled in a burlesque class for fun and it's awesome

    This exactly...mostly I end up feeling foolish when I wear lingerie--it is just SO not me.  Also, there is nothing better than a really good pair of jeans.
