My wife and I ...Staci,<BR/><BR/>I know exactly what you mean! My wife and I are the same way. She will need a new outfit, we will head to the mall, and she will spend hours trying things on and come home frustrated and empty handed, while I will typically find two or three things that I like and might even fit well enough to purchase.<BR/><BR/>So I have been pondering over these differences (besides the obvious):<BR/><BR/>1. Do I just have a much less refined sense of style and what looks good than her? (I'm working hard on this!)<BR/><BR/>2. Am I missing issues on the cut or fit I should be seeing? <BR/><BR/>3. Is my self image more realistic, do to the nature of the game?<BR/><BR/>4. Is her self image still striving to get her 'look' back where it was 10 or 20 years ago? (from one of your recent blogs, it looks like we're very close to your age group).<BR/><BR/>5. Is she carrying some 'emotional baggage' from years past about her looks? i.e. Dawn Steel in "They Can Kill You..but They Can't Eat You" states her Mom made a comment about her arms when she was a teen, and she never gone sleeveless since then.<BR/><BR/>6. Or my personal favorite, designers are making more clothes that fit our statuesque bodies better and forsaking traditional women?<BR/><BR/>These are serious questions! I think that I need to head off to the mall right away and do more research... ;-)<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/><BR/> LindaLinda Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08924964631825413016noreply@blogger.com
