You know you've said it...We all have either said it to our husband, best friend, or mother even....and God knows if you had a mother like mine and tried to dress like I did when I was 15 you heard it on more than one occasion.
But I had my first "You're not going to wear that moment", FROM MY HUSBAND!
I had on a pair of black leggings, they are tight, and I get I still have weight to lose despite the 30 lbs I lost in 2011, but it's not like I stuffed myself into them, I have tiny legs and not an overly huge butt. And I put on a nice red sweater, and was going to put on my Uggs. The sweater didn't completely cover my butt, but it went half way down and looked ok, at least to me. I turned and ran into a wall....
"You aren't going to wear those pants are you?" Husband says
"Umm, (looking in the mirror) no? No I guess not" I said
"Wait, why? Do they look bad?" I asked
"Uh, umm No, they don't look bad, but they just umm show off a lot don't you think?" he said
Turning this way and that looking in the mirror, thinking in my head, yeah I guess they do but not so much more than my pair of black skinny jeans I was going to wear instead.
I hung my head and said, I guess I will go change. I mean I don't want to look like an idiot or anything.
Seeing that I was decidedly unimpressed with the fact that I had to change, once I reappeared in the kitchen to finish preparations for Christmas dinner the husband tried to save himself by whispering "I mean I think they make you look hot, but you don't want to show that to everyone do you?"
"Well does it make me look hot or slutty and trashy?" I asked
"nothing like that" he replied
#FAIL
I will be 40 this year, of course I want to look hot, I don't want to be 18 again but dang I want to at least look good and impress!
So I did put on my jeans for the day but was still shocked that I actually got the "You're not going to wear that" especially if it made me look "hot"!

He wants you to save your hotness just for him!
Guys don't like other guys looking at their ladies!
Guys will never "get it"! At least he thought you looked hot though. :)
That is hilarious!!!
Oh wow. Yeah, hubbies are a bit slow on the uptake. Now me, I'm usually the one instigating everything. "What do you think? Too much? Not enough?" I say.
"Uhm, 42?" he replies.
Eh, we're still working on the communication.
Just never take it personal. From my experience, men don't have that tiny part of their brains that tells them when they're about to stick their feet in their mouth and chew vigorously.
I'm anti leggings so I'm biased, but hey! At least he could articulate some kind of reason, it's worse when people insist on you not wearing something for no apparent reason. ;)
Well you know he loves you to get that type of honesty! (Sounds like a good outfit to me) :)
Hi! My first time here from Writing on the Edge. First - I love the post. Second - post a picture! I would love to see. I bet you looked awesome! I have twins too and would not be able to FIND leggings in my size right now. :) Kristen
LOL...he really tried to save himself with that you looked hot comment.
Honestly, I can not bring myself to wear leggings. I wore them back in the mid 90's when I had my girls and putting them on makes me feel preggers. So I am waiting for this trend to pass me by.
This is just my opinion, but I think that leggings only look cute on skinny teens and toddlers. :)
