Hello Darlings, The other morning while I was getting dressed for a casual breakfast at my favourite local cafe, I heard a calm yet inquisitive: “What are those?”
“Those” he was referring to were my favourite See by Chloé shorts with tiny bows. To say the least, I adore them. To say that he hates them is an understatement…
In fact, I have three specific items that I know well he hates Aside from the shorts, I was also told that my Chanel sunglasses and Wilfred silk leopard pant were also flawed. If I recall correctly, his very words were ” Why would you wear that, if I really hate it?” Good question, but my immediate thought then was to expect him never to wear items that bother me.
Then again, how far does one trust a man with input as to our fashion choices? A skirt or a dress of course, but there are certain things that are just not comprehensible for men. I am a supporter of being a feast for your man’s eye, and love dressing for him. But there are certain things that I do not expect him to understand; and a pair of shorts that look like bathing suit bottoms from the 40′s is one of them. I also really love my leopard pants because in my mind they are wicked cool! And perhaps most important is my obsession about having perfect mani/pedi because poorly kept hands and feet gross me out.
I AM WEARING: Groceries Organic Cotton Tank // Juicy Couture Grosgrain Trim Cardigan // See by Chloé Bow Bloomer Shorts // Chanel Sunglasses // Repetto Rose Amour Flats
Did I change the shorts, no! Did I make a mental note, absolutely! The compromise was his repeated criticism of my shorts throughout breakfast, whereas I was reveling in being able to wear them in the winter.
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
With Love…

Well, to be honest with you, Marta… the first time I saw your shorts, a picture of myself in diaper rompers at the age of 1 came to mind. They are exactly identical in shape! lol *blush* I think the bows on them are cute, though!
Anywho. I have a lot of things that my man doesn’t like. But there are things (like Hawaiian shirts, eww) that he wears that I don’t like. It’s all about compromise, I guess.
Love your Repetto flats! I have a pair of sparkly ones that I was hoping to debut for New Year’s, but didn’t get the opportunity to. I look at them lovingly while they lie in their box. One day…!
Thank you, I absolutely adore Repetto.
As for the shorts, it is hard to explain as to why I love them
My husband only dislikes one of my items - a pair of bright pink trousers. I can see why they’re not to his taste, and honestly, I don’t like it when he wears things that I personally don’t like. I haven’t stopped wearing the trousers completely, but only wear them when I’m not going to be spending much time with him that day
Oh, and about your shorts… to be honest they are not really to my taste, either!
I believe that a woman should dress for herself first of all, not for the man in her life.
This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take into consideration his point of view, but it shouldn’t stop you from wearing what you love either. 
Happy New Year! May it be better than 2011.

That is wisely said and very true
Happy New Year to you as well!
I love those shorts. They’re so cute. I’m definitely not one for dressing for other people. It’s always fun to wear what you love, no matter what our loved ones think.
Definitely agree, dress for yourself
I rarely listen to guys’ advice on my fashion choices. As far as I can tell, I’d be wearing a pole-dancer’s attire if I did.
The way I see it is if I like how I look and feel confident, it will come off sexy and my guy will notice, even if I am wearing an item he wouldn’t usually appreciate.
Sasha, right on point of what I believe

There are a few things that my boyfriend doesn’t like, but I can’t remember what. He thinks though that if I’m comfortable and feel confident, then that’s good enough for him!
I honestly didn’t like your shorts to begin with, but the more I saw them in the post, the more I liked them! I honestly would never wear them, because I couldn’t pull it off, but if you can (and you definitely can), then go for it honey!
