Blonde and Karebear Now with PIP

I was just lurking on F&B because Im not the most fashionable, and need some guidance to (in H's words) look less frumpy. SO anyway

Blonde- you always look SO cute and I love that necklace.

Karebear- Are you seriously THAT tall?!

That is a Massimo top from Target, I like it because it has a metallic streak throughout and H says its "too old" for me. He says I dress like Im 40. Thats pretty much his problem, Help?

Re: Blonde and Karebear Now with PIP

  • Wow thanks :-)

    What does he think is "frumpy" about the way you dress?

    What is your typical outfit if you were doing like running around?

  • Nope - I'm 5'4", but my shape always makes me look taller. People think I'm like 5'10" on the F&B board. It's hilarous to me. FWIW I'm wearing like 4.5" wedges today, so my height is even more skewed today!

  • A pair of dark wash jeans and either a long sleeve tee (Old Navy) or a tank and a sweater over. Ill PIP later of myself today and you can evaluate me.

  • I don't think you look for 40 or frumpy...you look great !  I do think you could use maybe an accessory which might make it look a little younger for your H.  My go to accessory is a long necklace... I love LOFT and Express for long necklaces.  Or you could do earrings... Express all the way.

    As long as your clothes aren't too loose I bet you don't look frumpy.  Jeans should never bunch up at the bottom as it will make you look short and if a shirt doesn't have a defined waistline I throw on a thin belt so people's eyes are drawn to the smallest part of my body.  Dark jeans are also a must... they look for dresser.

  • You don't look frumpy to me at all especially with the new hair do! I agree with Blonde - if you put on some longer earrings or a long necklace H would probably think you were all jazzed up.

    Now I'm curious as to what he wears to feel he's entitled to call you "frumpy". Does he wear a suit to work or something? (Can't remember what he does).

  • Okay, wait I just looked at your Facebook to get a better idea and it looks like you wear regular old cute clothes to me. I also see your H in quite a few T-shirts, so I'm really confused here. Is he wanting you to dress up and look cute, but then he can wear jeans and T's? If so I'd tell him to kiss off. ha!

    Pretty Much LOL he either wears a tshirt or a button down, those are his two options. When we were in target the other day I tried to buy this top and he says I have too much of "that stuff" and I need to be more creative. He wants me to be more colorful, fun, flirty etc. I think I may just tell him to go shopping with me and pick out a few things HE likes and I will wear them.
