Do you dress up for homecomings?
Last time it was at night and cold out so I definitely didn't... I mean I wasn't a scrub or anything but I didn't wear a cute dress or heels or anything. This time I was thinking of wearing a new dress and wedges.
What do you think? Too much?
Re: Do you dress up for homecomings?
Last time was in March along the water in WA so I wore jeans and a nice top since it was pretty cold. Then I brought heels to change into closer to H getting off the ship.
When he comes home from month long underways I don't wear anything special.
I think a dress and wedges would be fine.
I'm going to be wearing a really cute dress and heels. I don't care a whit if I'm the wife that gets side eyed. A. I'm still a newlywed, and I only care that H thinks I look hot. B. I am now too old for the bouncy castle, and C) I'm wearing a fake mustache. I need to offset that.
Better than making an H/C sign that talks about sex, IMO, and my legs won't be around his waist.
In the past I always dressed nice when picking H up at the airport (he left and returned by himself in previous deployments). When he returned last week with his group I just wore a nice top, jeans and flats. I'm glad I did because it was ridiculously windy and I was chasing my 19 month old around for 45 min. before he arrived.
Photo bomb, yeah!
I'm planning to wear this dress:
Would that evoke the side eye? I definitely agree though that I'm there to look hot for my hubby after he hasn't seen me in 8 months! It's not like it's skanky or anything. And there will be no leg wrapping either, lol!
Or I can wear this dress, same shoes
I've always worn jeans,a a nice sweater or fitted t-shirt and flats or something like that. Our homecomings have been at ridiculous hours, but I've always done my hair and makeup(nothing special to it though). I've never purchased a new outfit for homecoming and I've always just worn one of my favorite everyday outfits. DH and I are both very laid-back and casual and I have always thought it is best that he comes home to the same wife he left. This is just something I picked up on from my brothers talking about it when I was younger.
I think it all depends on you and SO though. A friend of ours gets dressed up every time her and her hubby go out--and by dressed up I don't mean nice jeans, a cute top and heels--i mean dresses, skirts etc, so she obviously went all out for the last homecoming. That is her though and that is what her husband would have expected and appreciated. WHere my husband would have been a little freaked out, it was perfect for them.
In the end I think you should do what you and hubby will appreciate most and forget about what anyone may have to say about it.
Just grab the right husband
Stan- its a great dress huh! I used my 15% off anthro birthday discount plus a 50$ bday gift card from my SIL so I only paid $115!
Score!
