DH/SO's buying you clothes


C&K*s Mommie wrote: Taking another cue from Aimee's post the last week, about her DH buying her an outfit for her birthday (which was very sweet, BTW)-- Have any of your DH's/SO's picked out and bought clothing for you, by himself? Or if the DH's we have on here read this, have you done the reverse?

A&A'smommy replied: lol not here and I wouldn't want him too but it is VERY sweet when dhs/SO's do that

JP&KJMOM replied: Jason did many moons ago when we were dating. Now he just says go shopping as he slips me some cash!

coasterqueen replied: If I picked it out ahead of time he would. I've asked him not to buy my clothes a LONG time ago, when we were first dating because he bought me the same sweater he got his then 10 year old sister. rolleyes.gif

Kaitlin'smom replied: does PJ's count? other than that no he does not, he is to afraid of getting something I woudl not like, there are a few safe things he could buy though.

gr33n3y3z replied: I wont let him or I would have skirts and dresses blush.gif

My2Beauties replied: Brian did buy me some clothes 1 year, I liked them all but he got me the Stretch jeans and those itch me a little - they were cute clothes though, I ended up not wearing them that much, so now he just gives me cash! wink.gif

J-rod replied: ive bought her pajama's...but thats it...im too picky by myself....now when we go shopping im always suggesting things.....does that count? biggrin.gif

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: DH does sometimes, but as cute as it is, he never gets it right... blush.gif He bought me workout clothes this last birthday and the pants were tapered and made of shiny lycra...sorry, just not my thing. And the top totally didn't match the pants. I found out I was PG a couple days later so I had a good excuse to take them back!

He did buy me jeans once from Express and those were actually pretty cute. I just don't think they were the right size. Lingerie is always bad too...he likes simple lingerie (too simple IMO), so I got some plain white panties with a plain white camisole. It was totally too big...And then once he bought a navy blue bra from VS with matching panties, but I'm picky about bras (and I hate navy blue), so I didn't like it much. Poor guy! I love him for trying!

luvbug00 replied: brad picks out EVERYTHING i wear..I make him, his style is impeckable!

BAC'sMom replied: No way not @ my house.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: This was the first time he has done it and he did a GREAT job. I think I mentioned that, right? laugh.gif I went out and bought some shoes to match...it worked out great b/c I wanted these shoes, but didn't have anything to wear with them. laugh.gif Scotty has really great taste in clothes, but he likes dressy clothes for me and I don't always have a place to wear them. wink.gif He did ask me what size I wore beforehand. biggrin.gif

ETA: He also has very expensive taste and spent WAY too much money. I would have never spent that much on myself. More or less gone to a specialty store to shop.. It was very sweet of him. love2.gif wub.gif

Our Lil' Family replied: No he doesn't and that's just fine. I am hour glass shaped and have to try EVERYTHING on so he can't. In fact I rather he just watch Thomas and give me $$!!

holley79 replied: Shawn has done it in the past. He was suprising me with a dinner at a 5 star resturant a few years back. He bought me an evening gown, hand bag, under garments (of course really sexy. rolling_smile.gif ) and shoes. He bought them at a local boutique downtown. It was really sweet and the dress was to die for. blush.gif

My3LilMonkeys replied: DH has bought me clothes before and for the most part he does a great job.

redchief replied: I wouldn't dare. happy.gif

C&K*s Mommie replied: I would have to hope not, if all she would have to choose from would be skirts and dresses. Unless your religion says otherwise.

Thanks everyone for the replies!
Chris, as far as I can remember has not bought anything as far as clothing. Then again, I have a horrible memory and he could easily admit that he did, and I would not know the difference unsure.gif . He did purchase Crocs for me, that were entirely too big for me, so now he wears them, and I use them just around the house too.

Kittilicious replied: Jason has... but he always seems to think I am smaller than I am. He bought me a sweater for Christmas this year, which was fairly simple since I pointed out the EXACT sweater that I wanted at the store. It surprised me that he went back and bought it, but he bought a small. Even though I wear size medium to fit, I always buy either large or xtra large because I like baggy clothes... he knows this! LOL

But it's the thought that counts, afterall.

gr33n3y3z replied:
lol nope it has nothing to do with religion
I just dont own any dresses or skirts well just 2 and they are summer skirts and that is it. wink.gif

kit_kats_mom replied: No way. And I'd like to keep it that way too. I have a hard enough time finding stuff that fits me.

ediep replied: Scott pick clothes out for me and he does a nice job!

3_call_me_mama replied: Dennis has bought me things several times. and usually does a really good job. NEVER once has he gotten me anythign i didn;t like. Usually we go together dan he suggests stuff and it's just what I would have picked.

3xsthefun replied: Rob has bought me a few things. He has picked out some cute stuff. But usually he asks me before he buys it. If not then he would get the wrong size.

MamaJAM replied: DH doesn't buy clothing for me for a few reasons -- 1) I'm really picky....2) I have no idea what size I am - it really depends on the item of clothing....3) I make most of my skirts anyway....4) I don't like spending money on myself unless I _really_ have to and he knows I'd be angry at him for spending money.

Bee_Kay replied: My dh has a couple times.
The first time was when we were first married. He thought he'd be nice and he went shopping.
He came home with a hot pink ( rolleyes.gif )angora sweater and a calf length demin skit.
I wore the sweater once and never wore the skirt.

The second time was after I had gallbladder surgery. I told him I needed comfy clothes. So, he goes out and buys my XXL black leisure sweatpants (they were freakin huge on me and good thing they had a drawstring) and a black and white striped sweatshirt type thing.....

I looked like a cross between a clown and a prisioner!!! LOL blink.gif

So, what our shopping boils down to in our home.... I DO IT !!! rolling_smile.gif

ETA: the black and white number he picked out was for me to leave the hospital in!! LOL
