Men Are From Mars.....

Awhile back I was reading one of ...loveMaegan's blog posts (I'm sure you are all familiar with her AMAZING, unique, stylish, fashionista blog) and she was stating how she would just LOVE an outfit but sometimes her husband would NOT. That made me laugh because a.) her outfit was soooo cute and b.) my boyfriend sometimes says that!
Perfect Example:
Soprano dress from Loehmans

This is a dress that I LOVE. My bf said he didn't really like it. What??? Sometimes I think men do not understand fashion. But he's stylish too so I didn't quite understand how he didn't just love this outfit as much as I did! Well, he said it didn't show my figure and he didn't understand the tie dye part of it (uh, ombre, silly, it's soo in).

What do you think? Do some men just don't understand fashion for women? Or is my loose ombre dress just not that cute?

  2. Sweetie you're beautiful! Men don't understand fashion as we don't understand cars. Just smile and ignore, because you're sure to get MANY compliments wearing that dress.

  4. My husband doesn't understand alot of the stuff I wear, but doesn't really care as long as my butt isnt hanging out. I think its a cute casual dress for hanging out.

  5. I like the ombre! You just have to think about it as girls dress up for girls, not guys. Most guys, even if they care about what they're wearing, don't have a clue about female fashion. For example, lots of guys I know HATE maxi dresses, but I think it's just because they prefer something more revealing...it's not really a style thing!

  6. Your dress is very cute, ombre (which I love) and all.

    It's like you said - to wildly overgeneralize, most (hetero) men evaluate our clothes based on two things (1) how it makes our chest look; and (2) how it makes our butt look. The rest is gravy or immaterial, as far as they're concerned.

  11. This is so funny! Gosh I know what you mean - my last boyfriend, he said I was embarrassing to be with because I had 'glitter' on my eyelids and that is what 8 year olds do not 22year olds...It was just a shimmery eyeshadow and I can wear what I want!! I know what looks good! I'm getting mad remembering that night. :( xcx

  13. men are so odd!!!! you always look so fabulous, but he probably wants to see lots of skin, boobs, butt, legs and show you off a little! ahhahaha.

    i had on a cute new red and white shirt a while back, and asked the bf if he liked it. HUGE LONG PAUSE. and he said, not really. grr. then he explained that he really only liked black clothes. period. that is it. WELL FORGET IT.
