You’re never going out looking like that?

Yesterday, DH and I went for a run down the coast and DD asked me to send a photo of DH, to check his attire.
He is well known for his lack of sartorial elegance and he has a tendency to favour black everything.

After a few suggestions from me and a change of clothing, he was reasonably presentable and was allowed out. 😉

😁

DH often says "You'd better tell me if this matches before we get to the front door"

He sometimes reminisces about a boss he had years ago whose wife apparently used to lay out the clothes she wanted him to wear while he was in the shower.

Marydoll my DH belongs to the 'anything goes' type of apparel. I think he is colour blind, particularly the last couple of days. Doesn't take any notice of my comments, but I suppose after nearly 62 years of marriage, I have learnt to live with it, and him. 😍
My friend and their two daughters used to stand at the bottom of the stairs on Sunday mornings, and chorus, "you're not going out like that, are you?" to her DH, when on the way to Church.

My mother once watched me ironing some jeans prior to an evening out and informed me I would never get a boyfriend if I didn't wear a nice dress. I was about to spend the evening with a group of Young Farmers - I've been married to one of them for 45 years

Who else 🤔

Oh 😲 did you think I meant Boris?
No, I only have eyes for Dilyn

He’s an adult. Why on earth is what he wears his wife’s responsibility?

I couldn’t care less what he - or anyone, including my husband, children and grandchildren - wears. It doesn’t harm anyone, or affect my life in the slightest.

And I can’t believe that in 2023, anyone believes that what an adult man wears is a matter for his wife to co

Oh lighten up Siope !

I should have stressed my post was "tongue in cheek*. DH is his own man and usually does what he likes!

In the early 1970s I did a year's placement as an assistant teacher of English in Austria. A teacher (male, middle-aged and the father of four girls) objected strongly to my parka because the hood was trimmed with fake fur, and it was summer. I said I couldn't remove the fur trim, so he actually took the parka from me, tugged at the fur, and said I was quite right, it was stitched into the seam!

Objected not injected!

My parents never said outright that they injected to anything I was wearing but I do remember seeing them deliberately swallowing any objection. They did well. I remember wearing some appalling things eg a jet black nylon wig or my red leather hot pants!
Cheap and nasty huge fake eyelashes to a severe Church of Scotland service one holiday was a particular low point. I must have looked like a 14 year old pantomime dame.

My mother never objected to what I wore, but my professor (head of department when I was a young university lecturer) used to tell me not to wear such short skirts. I thought ‘Silly old man” - he was about 45 - and went on wearing exactly what I liked. It really wasn’t his business.

My sister in law had a very dictatorial father. She used to change her clothes in a telephone box once she was out of his sight.

DH and DS are both of a build - very broad shouldered large bodies and short legs - (only one is overweight) that means they tend to look 'casually' dressed, no matter what they wear.

They have the wisdom to avoid the Boris look by not wearing shorts unless on a beach, but otherwise cultivate the casual, building labourer look, as being as good as anything, given their builds. Fortunately both chose professions where this look is entirely normal.

I am a smarter dresser, but I have never tried to influence what DH wears, not even a hint, which he wouldn't notice any way!

I showed the picture to my husband. He said, "well, what's wrong with that?"

If my husband tried to ‘inspect’ me before I went out he’d get a blunt answer, good grief!

I got the good underwear thing for a bus too.
Reminded my mum recently. She cant remember.

It's the shirt hanging out that gets me
A friend nd I were saying yesterday that we wished we hadn't gone out in 4" heels as we might not have such bad backs now!

Oh for pities sake - must proof read!

Reaction to the BJ photo - what a lovely dog 😜?

Exactly what I thought 😀

Wouldn’t want to meet anyone looking like that on a dark night on Rosie’s bedtime walkie

My dog is up at 6. I put a coat over my pyjama top, dont brush my hair and pull some joggers on.

Me too, except at 7 am. At the moment it’s warm enough at 7 to not need a coat, so I feel honour bound to add a bra and top instead of my coat.

Give the man a break he is walking the dog.

So pleased that I have never been papped

When I first looked at the small picture I thought ‘aww, he’s just a daft old codger’ but then I increased it and then thought ‘my god that’s the man who was in charge of this country, no wonder we’re in such a mess!’
Yes sweet little dog - doesn’t deserve its owner.
